Pork Pies have got nothing on me 2nd scooter saga went to butchers (Paul Shipley) again and parked out side his garage door's after getting my meat wanted to go the other way, so!! tried to do a 3point turn but instead of being in drive was in reverse and yes you have gussed. Went flying backwards into his garage doors, these flung open, scooter ok me ok but you should have seen the crowd, we live in only a small village so every body seems to know what was going off. Margie H yes i have learnt not to take my scooter out when the kids are coming out of school Just one m

It seems to be the done thing for very obese NHS staff to advise patients to lose weight or, in my case, that my cholesterol was too high. It was said to me in such a way that my mouth had replied, "I dread to think what yours is!" before I could stop it.

Your post, Beekay, seemed to get swallowed up in the effort to put Loppy's problems with posting right. But it touched me. I think when you get older you do get more reflective and feel you should have done things you didn't, but you have to remember that circumstances at the time and indeed one's own self-confidence were very different 40/50 years ago. And East Sussex is a very nice address to have. It was good to hear that you and your Mrs weathered your own particular storm; it's not easy in difficult circumstances. Be proud of yourselves. Wishing you both the very best.

Say it as you see it Jill, you are entitled to your opinion as well.

Thank you very much for your kind words Unmade Marian. They are most appreciated. It's great to make new acquaintances through N.S. it keeps me in touch with the land of the living. I see from your profile youre in the Sherwood area. We started our married life there, on Upton drive, off Valley Road. I'll look forward to conversing again. Meanwhile, kindest regards and best wishes from the both of us. B.

Hi yes my scooter will go 24 miles till li needs a charge, but still being a Learner going that far might be a problem, 1st time went into the village missing the concreat post and dodged one or two kids who were going to school.Getting to the localCO-OP bumped into the large black rubbish bin, no damage to my scooter, did my shop came out and the alam went off (on my scooter) how to switch off alam had to ask a nice chap who was passing by. Later went to our local butcher Paul Shipley's parked inbetween his shop window and concreat light post. Got on my scooter again and was stuck between t

Even for me a 40 mile round trip to buy a £4.50 pie doesn't add up. If I'm ever passing through Kirkby I might call in.

24 quid seems a bit steep for me Stuart. Think I'll ask Mary1947 to pop down to Nuncargate on her scooter and purchase one for me. B.

Nice to hear you're back in the land of living Col. Take care and best wishes for speedy recovery. B.

Good that you're home and hope this is just a figure of speech Col,

You get to this age and you've heard it all. Plus I've got a mucky mind.
