I think the store on the Gregory Blvd/Radford Road junction was Beeches

The trouble I find Melissa is that I've normally got the TV on when I'm doing a Sudoku and very often aren't concentrating so make mistakes!

The Welbeck Hotel wasn't far from the Victoria Station/Hotel

I like Sudoku and crosswords but it did take some time to get the hang of Sudoku at first

#14 I put a Christmas poem in my cards

Like everyone else Carni, my thoughts and best wishes are with you.

Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody. (Franklin P. Adams)

He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know. (Lao Tzu) He knows nothing and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career. (George Bernard Shaw) It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him. (George Bernard Shaw) Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else. (Will Rogers) Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right (Laurens vander Post)

I think swearing is part of life these days and the majority of people swear at some point albeit not to the extent of an increasing number and mainly in private with friends and family. I’m not saying it is right to do so, particularly the ‘f’ or similar words, in general public but these days these ‘swear words’ are included in dictionaries, on television after the watershed and in the media generally. Those using these words in public either don’t realise they’re saying them or, do it on purpose to aggravate others. They don’t realise they are showing a lack of the English language, manners
