Right foot in...In .. Out..
Boris has pulled OUT of the race.. Yet he was never officially IN..
He said something about it 'not being the right time'.. Even though he had the 100 backers..
 I don't believe a bloody word of it..
He came back from his holidays thinking he was the 'Man of the moment' and he could save us..
He now knows that he is not what we need..
Will his 100 backers back Penny.. !!!
We are stuck with Sunak.. I hope he gets it right.. 
or it could be another IN.. OUT moment..

15 British Prime Ministers served during the 70 year reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
It looks like Charles III is going to have 2 before he reaches 7 weeks on the throne. 
How long til that reaches 3?

And of course it leaves Joe Public stuck in the middle of the mess. Lol

I am so pleased that I am living through this shambles.. It has given my old brain cells something to think about..  Better than the tv.. 
I wish I could talk about it at the Co-op but I think it's too much for Tracey's brain to deal with..

I can remember ..
Old Ma Knockabout would never wash her face.
Everyone said .. she's a real disgrace.
Jam.. soot and marmalade 
smeared her cheeks and chin.
Everyone used to say she had really nice skin..
One day a chimney sweep knocked her door and said..
Please will you marry me.. or face is just like mine
We'd make a lovey couple.. now, wouldn't that be fine..!!
Old Ma Knockabout.. screamed and ran away..
and ordered 40 bars of soap .. the very next day..

My mum told us girls this when I was around 4 or 5.. I can remember it..
But.. forget what I went round the Co-op for..

I've never heard that one Scrumps

You was not posh like us... we used Fairy soap.. 
Others used Carbolic.. and a scrubbing brush..

[klondike]

Fairy used to come as big green blocks too I think. Used for scrubbing shirt collars...
