I think ladies ought to consider having pockets in their clothes like men. Is it sensible to put your whole life into a little bag?

We never realised we were witnessing the end of the high trust society.

Here it is more or less done 
I call the Strawberry Mouse 

I was watching the telly last night, and there was a programme on about  the shops we loved and lost.

Remember  C&A,  Radio Rentals, Dolcis shoes, British Home stores, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Selfridges, Woolworths,  Freeman Hardy and Willis,  and many more.

It also us back to when Mothers used to have to leave the pram outside shops.  Remember that?
We daren't do that nowadays.

Most Grannies had blue rinses.

Kids school uniforms were often bought a bit too big to last a bit longer,   and we were told we would  'grow into them.'

Local police would think nothing of giving kids a clip round the ear if they misbehaved. 
They'd be in trouble for doing that nowadays.
Violence and thieves are hardly punished any more.  We were taught to respect our elders.


All todays changes have sneaked up on us over the years,  and will continue.   
I wonder what life will be like when our kids are the age we are now?

I do miss those old shops and much prefer them to all the Nail Bars and Tattoo parlours that have taken over our high streets now.   

All the media have been condemning Israel but only one The Telegraph reported the Spanish police besting seven bells out of the fakers .

Two tier reporting 

No jews no news .

Took the dog out at 7 a.m. this morning while it was cool. Plenty of dogs and joggers around that time of morning.

Why do you say that ?
The present incumbent was Labour and was democratically elected to his  seat by nearly 6000 votes .
Do you know anything detrimental about Josh Simons ?
He is a family man who lives in Wigan so is local to the area and AFAIK wanted  the best for the constituency .
