Leftward leaning. Green minded. Anti Capitalist. Intermittently sober. Still rubbish at following back.

In flooding and power cuts in 2015, we lost lights, heating, mobile phone signal.
The only thing left working? Good old copper cable with a dial telephone.

Now greedy profit hungry BT is ripping out that life saving copper cable in the name of profit.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

They used to salt the pavements in Tunbridge Wells y'know!
You can't get the salt any more!

There are worse places to be blown to I suppose!
Where would all the retired Prestonites be without it!
I'm very sad that White's of Garstang are in the process of closing. I once handed over my card and received a "Family discount"
I was only joking! Bless them

Have you seen the quality of the paving on the taxi rank? Only a matter of time before Lancaster has it's own Sink Hole, I'm guessing! 🙂

I turned the Rogers Cadet 3 up to full volume and serenaded her with Ellington's "Gonna Tan Your Hide"
I believe Henry is picking her up from hospital next Thursday
It's all rather confusing really.

Why! I was but sunbathing this very afternoon! Pegged out I was. In the garden splashing the Radox all over! (I hear a Miss Bannister at number 14 is still suffering from the vapours!)

Oh! Yes! I heard about that. Up here, North of the river. As I added an extra couple of inches to my luxurious bubble bath water. 😄(Sorry).

Then there was the Algae bloom Conspiracy! Where the water had the taste of spinach* and needed filtering for a Summer.

*I exaggerate, but it did taste funny

De-scaling. Obviously.

Twenty one years ago, when we first came up, the tea cups didn't go gunky and the kettle rarely needed rescaling. Now cups need soaking weekly and kettle annually!

I wonder, if, adding insult to injury that's the Brexit thing about them not being able to obtain the proper cleansing chemicals!

"Switch to the meter reading" they said!

Hope all's well? Know anyone who could reliably panel a shower cubicle? (Or tile). (Random question of the day)

Find it hard to believe Doctors would go anywhere near Farage. Sounds like a chunk of the Streeting the second hand car salesman's stupidity.

We've been hiding away in Lancaster too. Even put a jumper on for a bit. It must be serious! 😮
