I have lovely Denby dinner plates they are not fancy just simple and I use them every day and have done for years . I have never had a 'set' as such I just buy what I actually need and like .
So my Denby stuff ( apart from the dinner plates ) doesn't match .

I wasn't aware of it so no.

I inherited a load of decorative plates. I found some bills and one at least cost £60 back in the 80s or 90s.
Worth next to nothing on eBay so I put together a website selling them at high prices and did manage to get rid of quite a lot but there are still lots left. 

They never sold in sets. Always just an individual plate. I think people had knocked them off Granny's wall or cabinet and were replacing them.

I gave up on the site when it had been over a year since I sold one. I doubt even charity shops would be keen. My father thought they would be an investment. Some were marginally attractive but others were, imo at least, hideous.

Has anyone used the Silver line phone service for the elderly if in need of chat because of lonelyness?

He went to B&Q and bought paint and a broom
He went with such haste
he forgot to buy paste
Flour and water just lead to doom

Quote from: GrannyMac on Yesterday at 06:53:59 AMWhat politicians propose before elections often has little resemblance to what they actually achieve.

Indeed. They often seem to achieve the exact opposite of what they promised.
Lower energy prices
Smash the Gangs
etc. etc.
When they do something there are often unintended consequences...
   minimum wage changes
   employee rights
   employer only NI increase
    .... unemployment - especially for young people.
   tenant rights
     ... fewer rental properties and higher rents
   improved sickness benefits
     ... more claimants
   higher NHS and rail wages
     ... more disputes and strikes - well they seem a soft touch
   more cheap renewables
     ... higher energy bills

I have Denby stuff .
I have always liked it ,

Hello everyone - just finished my two hours in the garden - time for poached eggs on toast I think - mind you, by the time I reach the kitchen that could have morphed into something entirely different!

Have a heap of carrots waiting for me to transform them into Carrot and Coriander soup, some trousers to shorten for a friend, laundry to do, stuff to move out of the wardrobe into charity bags, another shelf to put up in the Craft Room, and the last section of the forensics course to complete.

I'm sure I once read somewhere that Sunday was supposed to be a day of rest ?!
