Bev dropped her flowers, and burst into tears
She trusted Jed, they'd courted for years
What should she do now?
She didn't want a row
So they both said 'I do'  to many cheers.

I don't think I mentioned it, but since we got our water meter, our charges have dropped substantially.
I assume that without the water meter, the water bill was simply estimated, so I'm glad we went for the meter.

Incidentally, there has been a very slight drip from that mains tap before we got the meter, which I couldn't stop.  Not much at all, so it didn't really bother me.  Gone now, of course.

Mups has it spot on :upvote:

Their main job is to ensure there is enough paper for the binmen men on recycling day. They need it to get the plastic burning properly in the incinerter.

I have seen male and female species...

Quote from: muddy on Yesterday at 10:12:40 AMI tip them at Christmas
I always used to, Muddy,  but they were the same regular faces every week then.
There seems to be different people all the time now.
Anyway,  if they brought my flippin' bin back I might think about a tip!

The church went silent as Bev sat down
The groom just gasped, and said with a frown
'Don't listen to her , I love only you'
'She said she's pregnant but it's not true' 
'Though she's been with every man in town.'

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 11:50:17 AMWhat's a postman.. Is it the same as a policeman. ?
Do they still whistle.. ?

Scrumps,  there are quite a few differences between postmen and policemen.

1. You will see many more postmen then policemen.
2. They wear different colour uniforms   (Postmen usually wear red).
3. Postmen are often more chatty.
4. They also often have bare, hairy legs and carry a big bag.
5. They come to our front doors alot,  leave a load of junk mail,  then disappear again.   

Is that any help?    :smiley:
