I sent a message to Jacqueline a while ago on the off chance it would appear in her e-mails that she had a message on here, but I didn't hear anything back, I liked her she was feisty !  :grin:
Akbuk is great on the Mother Ship and still posts loads.
Sheila came and went didn't she ? I don't have her e-mail or I'd contact her, she doesn't live that far from me

That's is true .
Unfortunately serious topics over there are frequently derailed .

Temu is free postage unless it's a local supplier.     So it comes from China for free, but buy from UK and you pay postage !  :rolleyes:

Quote from: Alex on November 02, 2025, 07:58:53 PMI spent a few bob on Temu today but by the time it arrives, I'll have forgotten what I ordered  :grin:
On AliExpress they have an option they call Choice. With that one if you spend over £8 the post is free. With another you'll start getting money off if you buy a couple more options. Very clever as you go for something cheap and end up with a load of filler items just to avoid paying a couple of quid or get some money off

It usually arrives in just over a week but as you say when you open it up there ard going to be mystery items in there. Most of it is pretty good.

It's true that if I take a walk in this town I'm more likely to hear a language I don't understand than one I do. Often at a level I'm sure makes the phone being used unnecessary.

The other thing I've noticed is there is more chance of seeing small children with foreign parents than English. I'm encouraged that at least some talk to their children in English.
