Re your post about boots opticians
I thought I'd try boots for my new specs..never again.
Talk about hard sell!
My glasses were never right from the start...the left lens made everything distorted,very uncomfortable to wear,and they were not cheap.
I did go back a few times,but when I left them to be sorted they were just the same I don't think they had even done anything to them.
Dont know about you ,but I was sitting around for 3 hours at my first appointment,as we're other people,we all sat there wondering why it was taking so long ,the lady next to me walked out.
Anyway I will be going back to my old opticians.

When I was a kid we never had matching dinner plates,we always got dinner served up on 'our ' plate,we would complain if we got the wrong plate( I can still remember mine,it had purplish flowers round the edge) The cups didn't match either.Did people not bother then unless they were posh?

i remember Pete Mee and Graham Pearce,me and some girls used to watch them rehearse in a classroom,we had to sit at the back and keep quite,they were very good.They used to sometimes play in a room above a co op at gedling.Mureen and lynn were two of the girls who followed the group around,cant remember any other names,i was only 14 or 15 at the time.
Graham Pearce lived somewhere off carlton hill,dont know where Pete lived.

My granny used to put bicarb in the greens,she said it made them cook quicker and keep their colour.

Does anyone use a rail travel card?
I ain't been on a train for years,but I was wondering,is it much cheaper with a card and are there only certain times you can use it,like a bus pass?

Yes it's really bad,it's said it started in a toilet.My daughter was late getting to work as they have closed some roads off.
Also an incident Waverley street,roads closed off...don't know what's happened
Trams not running.

Teenage school kids often use two seats to themselves,then fiddle with their phone and pretend they havnt seen you having to stand all the way to town.

I agree that the only way is to return to paper and cardboard why can't we?
Primark use paper bags,but other shops continue to ask if you want a 5 or 10 p carrier bag a plastic one.Sometimes you see something in a shop that you would like to buy,but have forgotten to take a bag,so you either pay for a plastic one ,or carry the item unwrapped which makes you look like a shoplifter.
