Marie , can you put me on Starter pack 2 please. I was nominated in the other place

Cheers

Playing Real Madrid and Man City in a short space of time isn’t ever going to be easy . They aren’t robots

‘you’re not the Tories any more ‘ comes to mind if we are talking terraces

There is an old local government saying ‘ magnificent in a crisis largely of his/her own making ‘ that applies here.

Many will have noticed that the people of the south wales valleys rarely refer to the tragedy outside of anniversaries. Even then it is muted. The reason being one of respect for the dead. Please can we all observe this example.

I never heard an official who had worked with her have a bad word to say about about her . That is unusual in itself

The use of imported pejorative terms such as ‘boomer ‘ is new an a distraction for me . A person born in 1946 is old enough to be the parent of someone born in 1964 but both ostensibly are baby boomers. Doesn’t work at that level

Was in a garden centre near Chester a few months back, car park top of the range cars and cafe top of the social ladder elderly . Topic of conversation ? Winter fuel allowance and impact of holiday plans - can we afford 3 cruises now ? We’ve lost the plot somewhere

I think the British voters are willing to have a difficult conversation on tax and spending but only on the basis of fairness and transparency. Also someone has to tell the new wealthy elderly that they have to put their hands in their pockets

I remember my parents ( born in the 30s) describing this as ‘old fashioned rubbish ‘ back in the 70s.

The role of DPP in the U.K. is not considered obscure . Quite the opposite

That would explain the lack of response. The example you quote is consistent with what I heard that day. I said if I had written any of the things her had said in an essay at University my professor would have written ‘bring crayons next time’ at the end which he was want to do

I went on a tour of Pembroke castle once led by a local historian. I think the local village idiot would have done better and I told him so. He got cross and said he knew far more than real historians. I wrote to CaDw but didn’t get a reply.
