I remember a man selling sweets. His call was Mint IMPERIALS     Aniseed BALLS

I also remember keeping an eye out for the deckchair man so you could scoot off before you got charged. 

I still remember the old beaches with an Ice cream man,  Donkey rides,  and a  Punch and Judy show.  

We're heading into autumn soon
Will there be a harvest moon?
We should have more water
As the days get shorter

The day wore on, the beer tent filled,
With draft on tap, and lager chilled
All in all it was a good day
Even though Sid fell asleep in the hay
When it came to drink he was so weak willed.

We're heading into autumn soon
Will there be a harvest moon?

The day wore on, the beer tent filled,
With draft on tap, and lager chilled 
All in all it was a good day
Even though Sid fell asleep in the hay

Oh poo . . . .

Quote from: Vlad on Yesterday at 12:48:48 PMI think we have reached a point where the U.K. is not fit for purpose

I feel exactly the same, especially about our so-called 'leaders'.

However, although things are not good right now and, sadly, seem to be heading for worse, I still hope that when we get a Reform government, assuming the majority of the voting public see sense, things will begin to change for the better.

Of course, that all depends on the majority of the British people making the right decision, and unfortunately I hear a lot about some of our younger people not being as pro-British and sensible as they used to be.

The band struck up, a bit out of tune
The school choir were to perform at noon
The veg were judged, a marrow won
And suddenly, here comes the sun ☀️ 
The village queen to be crowned quite soon.

The day wore on, the beer tent filled,
With draft on tap, and lager chilled

That's a great insight re cancel culture Vlad.

I'm fairly content with my little life, I volunteer for a couple of organisations, not too many hours these days.  I keep as fit as I can by going to the local leisure centre pool, and I've a nice circle of friends there who stop for coffee, organise days out etc.  I see a separate friend most weeks too.  I visit a couple of forums, not PF much now, oh the egos! I do lots of puzzles (thanks for the competition Klondike) to try and keep my brain sharpish.

My OH, who I married, 59 years ago, is hanging in there with various health issues. We support each other, he's cooking tea atm. Our kids have been successful in their fields, grandkids are doing ok.  We have a lovely park nearby, with a library that is still open!  I loathe a lot of the wokery, of the lack of consideration, of the expectation that we want thousands of migrants with very different values and cultures in our neighbourhoods. But I won't be around to see the long term damage.  I just hope my young people escape it. 

Then off I went to the coconut shy
And there I bumped into an old beau, Guy
He came up close and groped my bum
I slapped his face saying ' Stop that chum'
Maybe tomorrow ..or by and by
