It seemed poor Alan was out of luck
Til he got them back he was stuck
Maureen held them in the air
The Vicar had to stand and stare
Whilst Alan hid behind a truck
(or shouted  :wtf: )

General Discussion / Tipping and Charity Donations
Last post by muddy - Today at 07:04:52 AM
Tipping used to be a reward for good service .
Now it's seems to be added anyway to your bill if you eat out at the most ordinary of restaurants .
And if you pay by card you have the card machine in front of you held by the waiter / waitress asking if you want to add the tip .
I don't like this we will be like America where everyone puts their hand out for a tip no matter how churlish the service .
Now is another thing charity donations .
You are asked at the till if you want to give so much to a " charity " 
I beleive in charity giving and I donate via direct debit to several charities of my choice .
All of which are for children and animals .
So I don't feel any guilt in refusing to be  put on the spot at the till .
Thoughts ?

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 08:02:07 PMLovely lilac tree GM    I had a white lilac tree a few years ago but it died.
It's flowered really well this year Alex.  We also had a white one that died.

Quote from: Raven on Yesterday at 08:14:50 PMI love the raised beds, I've been thinking about having them here, but the garden is so big, it would cost a fortune.
Thanks Raven, i like it too.  It was already built when we moved here, so we kept it as it is.

Hope you get those dizzy turns sorted Mups. I remember how bad I got a few weeks after my op last November, I was soooooo sick n dizzy it was terrible, I was staggering around like a drunk.
Turned out it was one of my Meds "Digoxen" took them weeks to find out what was causing it. Just wondering if your on any Meds that are not agreeing with you. Worth a thought maybe.  :hmm:

Been to a hospital appt. this morning about these dizzy turns.
Not a lot of help,  so he is going to refer me urgently to a different ENT team at another hospital.

Dexa scan tomorrow to see how my old bones are doing.

This afternoon I got a new Rose planted which I had sent for, and fiddled about re-potting some young Agapanthus  which weren't doing as well as they should.

It's just starting to rain tonight.
