I don't do posh.. not my thing..
A lovely room with balcony overlooking the promenade .. people watching..
A nice stroll along the seafront.. Pop into local charity shops...
  That is all I need.. I have had my days of jetting off to far flung places...

Quote from: Michael Rolls on January 22, 2026, 09:00:03 AMI have the same problem - my hearing is poor in normal conversation - on the phone it is often awful
I know what you mean,  my hearing is getting worse too.   Got to go back to Audiology near the end of the month.

I found the worst time was when everyone was wearing masks,  and that, coupled with a strong foreign accent I found almost impossible to understand.

Good morning all.   Yet another grey, wet day here.

I must go read the Gas/Electric meters for my bill, in a mo,  then a couple of important phone calls to make.

My Ocado order has also just come, so I best go and start unpacking that first - after I've had another cuppa.  :smiley:

If i'm not in a rush to do anything, I often keep the caller chatting by asking as many questions as I can.  I usually begin with sensible questions but, as time goes on, they become slightly more outlandish.
I believe that I am doing other recipients a big favour in occupying the scammers for as long as possible.

'Hello.. You have won the Omaze prize draw'
'Hello.. you can confirm your win on the lottery'

I bet you would hear those words with little problem..

I too get calls from people who speak in foreign tongue..
I just don't respond...
