Gosh I got up at 5 , seems I have had a lay in this morning compared to you two. Happy St George's Day to you too. This was all I could find that remotely resembles our flag.

What really gets my goat and I cannot get my head round is the fact that daft people pay a monthly fee to these people , who on the whole are on a glorified paid for holiday all year round. I watch a lot of canal videos. Watching them buying cars, campervans, trips abroad etc. One guy with a dog has a fabulous bungalow and gets piles of parcels from Amazon on a weekly basis that people send him. I am not talking cheap items , boxes and boxes of dog food , biscuits etc. Expensive equipment for the house and garden. Top price electrical items, electric bikes, I mean they just cannot lose and these people send them money each month. Gift Cards for stays in hotels. Am I missing something. They send him , a complete stranger , better gifts than I could ever afford for the family.

Hu hum!! Do you like hospital food?

Speaking of Mums mine passed in 2016, when clearing her house, the third bedroom under the bed we found jar upon jar of jam from the 1970s. It was good enough to tarmac the road with. Perhaps we should have kept them and used them to fill the pot holes outside in the road.

Hands up anyone that hasnt dont something like this. I know I have. Thought I had got out some chicken puffs and they turned out to be apple. Didnt go down well. I do try now to label things.

We still use cash for the Window Cleaner, Chiropodist , Car Wash etc. I do still use a cheque book and often receive cheques. I pay these into the local shop which has a post office. I would never put my on line banking on my mobile phone and only will use it on my desk top. The App sends shivers down my spine as I have never ever found one that is anything like it is cracked up to be. The Bank in Beccles has closed so no option for getting cash or paying in cheques there anymore and this is progress!!!!

Well said.

I would imagine as where we live, paying in cheques, getting cash (some of us are not keen on cash points) is vital to a lot of elderly folk. The shop that is attached is also a godsend. This will be a great loss.

Yes Gracie and being ex Navy he is more of an old Salt in the true sense of the word. Dont ever change Griff or Gracie.

I know with the Banks all closing their branches The Post Office has been vital to us.

I will let you know what I was told - probably a load of rubbish but here goes - a boat with its fenders down at sea is tantamount to a lady going out with her rollers in her hair!!!! Comments please?

Fenders up or down. Griff what is the Royal Navy saying. Keep it clean.

Sorry that should read 'cant' see this happening.
