And your point is?

Sprouts, Christmas! I eat them almost everyday, but no cross or additives...

Threegee, I don't understand your logic! I believe my work ethic is as good as anyone, anywhere, ever! And is better than most, why do you say I don't believe in work ethic? I'm not implying you work for less money than the job pays but saying they shouldn't get any assistance if work is available. Assistance should not be more than fair pay! That discourages working. I believe If you cannot work then you should get assistance, if you can work you should IF you want the benefits such as pay and pension etc. I believe No one who can work and if work is available should stay at home and expect others to work to support them, naturally there are exceptions mom,s, I'll and incapable etc.

Enough to feed the family, but if you give enough money without working why would you work? which means someone else has to work more to have you stay at home!

"There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing" I like that saying, very appropriate for this part of the world. Snow shoes in the morning, shorts in the afternoon and Mac and wellies in the evening.

Happy birthday Foxy, I hope you are having a great day!

Shoes, handbags BBQ, what a monster.

Happy birthday Adam.

That,s the very spot, looks like people have upgraded their houses after buying them, and it looks a lot smaller / narrower than what I remember, I,ll just have to go and see! Thank you Eggy.

Canny lass, my recollection is an hourly or daily paid worker! many workers were on some form of piece work. I’m sure HPW can elaborate.

Thank you everyone. Yes great memories, Webtrekker it was taken in Sixth Avenue, Blyth, my mom’s home.

A big step with no regrets, a different world.

Oh! Then happy birthday Bayardm. :-)

I tried to register but after giving my information it said I wasn't eligible, too long gone! (40 years this week) I'd be voting EXIT.

Hope your having a good day Monsta!

Upper cylinder lubricant , I still have my Red-X vacuum gauge!

How are you supposed know that the cat is going to be stupid when you get it? What are the odds at the next one also being stupid ? I don't think we should start getting rid of "stupid" ....

My sentiments also.

Happy birthday Bret, enjoy your day.

Service and produce will be the decider!

We stayed in the Pelican motel there Brian!

When you are just sitting around with a bunch of friends the conversation tends to drift a bit, who,s round is it?

I agree Brian, but then I just tend to jump in and add my pennyworth, without looking at the topic. Hows the barbie season? just changing the topic....

No ring mains or switched, fused shuttered sockets here! lights and plugs on the same circuit (in the same room!) plug pins thin and bendy (quite femer!) light bulb sockets neutral (ouch!) but only 120v...
