  6. I've got Caller Display and if I don't recognise the number calling I don't answer it and then I block the number (got the facility to do so on my phone). I'm on the TPS but still get rubbish calls left on my answering machine.
  7. I think if it was Joe Public as the subject of the show many people wouldn't watch. If you're talking about the money that 'celebrities' receive then what about the ridiculous amounts that some footballers get.
  8. I'm sure that everyone is behind both of you and hoping things continue to go forward.

  14. #49 There is an addition to the 'rule' I before e, except after c Or when sounded like a As in neighbour and weigh There are though one or two exceptions such as 'weird'
  15. If you're a genuine lover of words have a look at the book at the link below. I got a copy today and think it's fascinating. http://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/word-play-a-cornucopia-of-puns-anagrams-and-other-contortions-and-curiosities-of-the-english-language/9781473620308
  16. There used to be a small shop on Mansfield Road in Sherwood that sold stationery and above the window the had the word "Stationary". Currently there a retail outlet selling car tyres at the bottom of Sherwood Rise. On one side of the entrance it mentions Puncture but on the other side it states Punture.
