The pleasing thing is you never hear of chapped legs and kids don’t wear short trousers to school.4

Finding loads and loads of B movies from the 40s, 50s and 60s on YouTube!
I’ve spent the last couple of evenings enjoying The Shape of Things to Come, The 27th Day, They Came from Beyond Space and Red Planet Mars!
Great stuff!0 -

Only do it outside of built-up areas, but appreciate what you’re both saying.
It annoys me when people do it which is why I take particular attention to only do this outside of built-up areas.0 -
Putting together a new fan I luckily spotted this warning sticker. God knows how many fingers I may have lost.

A story from a local Facebook group
What an absolutely beautiful morning in Plumstead, the sun is shining, the birds are singing
and the 291 bus driver patiently waited for a man running towards it with a crate of beers and even kindly let him on for free
then another woman ran towards the bus so again he patiently waited… then it turned out she was chasing after the man because he stole the crate of beers from the coop so she chased him upstairs and massive argument, he is probably used to no one doing anything, ah well another lovely day in Plumstead
Apparently the Police turned up & arrested the culprit.

Not a general thing but quite specific!
Got a letter from the pension people telling me that, due to an error, my pension will be 27% higher than previously calculated!12 -
