It was the same at Brackenhurst the previous Saturday when my wife went. The wait was an hour but she stuck it out. It just wasn't fair on the oldies who were queueing. A total disorganised shambles.

Same here down in the Trent valley.

I've just watched the PM and his advisors. No positive prevention advice. All too much of 'let's wait and see'. C'mon - cancel Christmas again!

It doesn't seem to be accepted in this country that racism works both ways.

No racism here - unless we suggested we would like a White Friday!

I had a look around the Long Eaton bike showroom many years ago. I knew his brother Gordon who was a fellow pilot. I think he had a BMW agency.

Well hung!

I think that Allwoods Automotive occupy the shop that used to be Black and Decker.

The club on the retail park at Netherfield was the LMRC club. London Midland Railway.

Again, out here, beyond civilisation, I'm getting just a one bar signal on my phone. I'm on O2 but I think EE may be stronger.

My son produced a bottle of a fine wine a few months ago on his birthday. He’d paid around £60 for the bottle of red. I was expecting a vast improvement over what I usually drink but had to confess disappointment.

We were offered F4RN in our village but there wasn’t sufficient interest for them to come this far over the fields. Since we’ve been on fibre to the cabinet the speeds are more than adequate for normal use without the initial cost that F4RN wanted. I don’t think that fibre to the cabinet was initially available at your end at the time.

Makes our speeds look a bit sick!

Physician heal thyself?

You lucky people who’ve got fibre. Out here in the sticks it’s fibre to the cabinet and the cabinet is half a mile away. Download around 26, upload around 9 mps. More than adequate for us but not what you’d call fast.

It was once suggested to me that I might like to join the Freemasons. I politely declined as that was most definitely not my scene!

I knew someone who was invited to Gedling Miners Welfare to see The Three Degrees. When she got there she discovered it was a woman called Freda Greaves!

Just discussing this in the pub tonight. This seems to be the age group that are contracting covid now. I hope all will be well.

Welcome to the grey brigade. Do you get called ‘darling’ at the checkout now?

So you tried to get rid of the grey as well.

That explains all the green headed people in the village.

I've still got a mop of it. I went grey at 40. All the stress! I did die it brown some years ago but I couldn't face the ridicule!

I've gone grey gracefully.

Not much call for grey hair down our lane. There’s a preponderance of it. I do sometimes see the Grecian 2000 tanker making deliveries though.

Until I got rid of my Lotus Elise when my hip was getting painful I was doing track days at Cadwell Park. It might have been a surprise to some when I took my helmet off to reveal my grey hair! I wish I hadn’t sold it now.
