Set a reminder, I can't remember things a day or two ahead, never mind 400 years!

Had the staples out of my knee today. It's improved things re: pain.

I've now realised that the confirmation letter is the winter fuel allowance. Upon receiving it, you are then expected to burn it, which will provide heat and lighting.

What annoyed me was one watch was a decent but not outstanding Skagen. Charge £10. The other was an expensive Tag Heuer which they charged £20. Same battery, nothing special. The Skagen was a bugger to do, very tight press on back and took ages. The Tag unscrewed easily and took a minute. No seals checked or replaced despite it being a 200 meter waterproof watch. I messaged the company and got a reply that if it were damaged it would be their responsibility and be expensive to repair and if the battery leaked and damaged it etc etc. I could smell BS. It’s like the garage charging £1.50 a litre

Surely it all depends on what sort of watch you possess. Some of mine, when the battery fails I just get another watch. Never bought an expensive watch, can't see the point as I'm always breaking them any road. Sometimes, I even lose 'em.

Sometimes you need a back removal tool to unscrew it which I have. Also you may need to replace the rubber seals which I also have. Then you need batteries which I have.

Could you have opened the watch yourself ? Last time I needed a new watch battery I took the back off the watch and got a battery off Ebay.

I found this picture of Queen Victoria's statue when the goose fair was held in the Market Square. I think that the picture was taken before the start of the first world war. Notice how white the statue is, the only other pictures I have seen of it were completely black! That was obviously down to air pollution. I remember when they sand blasted the guildhall, I was totally amazed as I had only ever known it as a black stone building! https://postimg.cc/v475yKSs
