I agree with Richard C and Fergie 307. Fine to use Public Transport in Cities but even towns don't have sufficient buses though cycling is more of an option in smaller places. However, many people now don't live next to their work place as they used to probably till the 1960s when we cleaned...

Reminds me of the old joke:- There are 3 kinds of Accountants ( Or QSs if you are in the building line) Those who can add up And those who can't. Needless to say, this usually goes well over the head of Accountants! Phi

I hope this result was reported on the NHS web site!! Happy New Year All Phil

I remember my father telling me of Woolworths before the war which was advertised as a 3d & 6d shop. Many of the more expensive items then started to appear in two parts at 6d each!! So nothing new with Poundland doing the same!! Phil

Yes, I've got that one somewhere Ian As for the new one, well, being tight, I'll wait till I see it in the village bookshelf or the second hand bookshop!! Phil

Books, just paperbacks, generally historical works by people such as Bernard Cornwall, Lindsey Davies etc. Lockdown has had a bad effect, there are too many village book swaps springing up! I'm trying not to add to my Sharpe collection!! Also, a gift from my Gramps, Stamps, particularly GB...

Useful to have one!!!;)

All you'll be doing with a walnut tree is feeding the grey squirrel!! And wasps with the soft fruit! Phil
