Not in time for the children it won't.

I was thinking more of grandchildren.  It wasn't as tough for their parents as it is now.

Grandchildren need help.. Most of our children have made it.. They have homes..
My granddaughter Martha was only able to buy a house because her Father died and left a large insurance cover..  He was very young..

Sad reason Scrumpy.  I agree its the young ones in their teens and twenties who could do with help.  My kids, rather my middle aged offspring, are well set up.

Accents can vary a little over tiny distances or at least some words can.

I moved to Rubgy from Northampton for a while which is around 20 miles. Scrumpy's tale of problems with her lawn reminded me that in Northampton grass has a long A while in Rugby it's a short A and the two sound like different words.

Different thread?

People in the same town or city can have different accents.  Two famous Sheffielders who don't sound alike, Sean Bean and Michael Palin.

Too many late nights... Muddled brain..
Bed by 7pm for you tonight...

I use the phone to post in bed. Probably fat fingers as much as a fat head. I'd likely read through, moved on, thought of a comment and fat fingered into here.
