Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 09:11:56 AMI think M&S has had it's day.. Many of their big stores in and around this area have been forced to close their doors.. Taking their food stores with them. Which is sad to see..

Yes,  the one nearest me has just closed it's cafe down now, but kept the rest of the shop open.

As you say,  I won't be surprised if M&S eventually close down.    I dont' think its good quality anymore,  and there are  other shops around that are far cheaper.

Good morning all.
Sunny but chilly here, with rain forecast.

The dreaded pot-hole menders are outside my house rigging up their temporary traffic lights and road signs.    I've got my Ocado order coming in another hour, so I hope they've cleared off by then.   Also finally got the plumber coming to fix my dripping tap,  so he'll need to park outside too.

 
. .   Oooer,  they've cleared off again.   How odd.  Perhaps got the wrong place!

This green party certainly worries me. Labour councils are bad enough, liberals seem to be even worse, and greenies are unknown territory. They all waste money and put the tax up. Some of them take delight in making life more inconvenient and difficult too.

Quote from: muddy on May 13, 2026, 09:47:25 PMTrump started that mess, and now he has no idea how to end it. All he can do is threaten and
insult. His people will turn on him, but not quickly enough. All he is good for is destroying things and adding shoddy-looking bling to the junk that's already there.

Actually Israel started it and they might well have done more damage without US influence.

I don't know how people work out that Mr Trump is "lowlife", but I don't watch mainstream news.
