 Yet a friend from Yorkshire reckons I sound like  a  'proper country bumpkin.' 

But everyone thinks that we Yorkies are proper country bumpkins!

Right.   I've sent the  messenger pigeon to both Dex and Vladkins.
Let's see what happens.

Yes,  I think that can be very true.
I know it used to happen to me when I was younger.
Strange, 
isn't it.

Quote from: klondike on Today at 04:30:15 PMIt's been a nice day which helps but I think it's also noticeably staying light longer now.

True.  I have noticed that, too.   Good innit.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 05:35:40 PMThey were running behind so I am booked in for tomorrow morning.. So that is two bloody mornings I am indoors..
I don't think it is much to worry about Mups.. I think it is an old one.. It's only noticeable in a certain light..
Fortunately I have insurance cover for most things..
I would rather pay for cover than to worry about problems I know nothing about.. and cost an arm and leg to fix...

Oh how annoying!    
What infuriates me is when they can't make it but don't let you know they are not coming.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 04:01:28 PMI haven't got an accent, but Scrumpy thinks I have    I like all accents apart from North Wales which I hate ! yet South Wales is lovely.

I'm not so keen on the Irish accent,  but don't mind most others.

I agree with Alex.   
I've noticed many pig ignorant taxi drivers,  acting like they own the road.

Main causes and contributory factors of youth unemployment:
- mental health issues
- inability to gain qualifications
- increased long-term sickness

What isn't mentioned is:
- can't be bothered to make any effort
(which could actually be the root cause of all of the above!)

I put stuff I no longer need at my front gate.. It doesn't stay there long..
I did put a Henrietta cleaner up for free on Nextdoor.. But only available to a local..
She was so chuffed she bought a lovely box of chocolates to the house a couple of days later..

... and Mummy dropping the kids off..
The most ignorant drivers.. in my opinion ... are people who drive disability scooter things that go on the road or the pavement.. They think people should move out of the way for them.. I bloody don't .. unless they smile..
