Love DJs poem ! He must have attended the Pam Ayres school of Higher poetic prose. We are in the presence of Masters, ( wonder if Compo had a hand in it?). Thank Margie for awakening the poetic licence in us. I am now going to skip through the daffodils and play my Pan pipes.

Didn't you like mine then Margie? Even brought Brew in.

Didn't he used to work with Stan Laurel ?

I wandered lonely as a cloud, With Brew my friend I feel quite proud. He posts me things I need to know, With Margie on our side, It's always....go, go, go.

I TOWD YA I KNOW NOWT ABAHT POTERY. It's what's known as limited vocabulary.

Margie lives in Ely, far In getting there I go by car, To take her presents, I wrap and box 'em If she's not there, I go to Wroxham.

I prefer rhyming poetry, that is something I can make sense of. Daffodils, Hiawatha etc. The rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is another.

There are those of us who didn't have the benefit of a decent education. My schooldays were literally, survival of the fittest.

The sun dazzles my eyes, I listen as the baby cries, No matter how I care, Oh for someone else to share.

I can remember Trinity Square church as well CT. Your not old enough to have seen it I'm afraid. But with your bottomless pit of photographic images, I've no doubt you've seen pictures. Got to admit though, the memory gets greyer as the years move on.

Sorry Margie, read Brew's post so I thought I'd have a read. Couldn't make head or tails of it. Don't think I've got enough years left to get through it all, it's soooo long.

"I'll be seeing you"

It will be quite a tearful reunion.

I'll soon be in contact.

Nip to the docks for a liner.

I trust you pencilled in any mistakes.

Will send Jill round with some of her pupils. Or ask my Auntie Iris.

It sounds as though somebody is due to a few lashes. Or maybe they're too highbrow. ( Don't blame me, I'm still learning).

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy !

A proper little Ray of sunshine.

I don't suppose there will be many on here now who lived in 1920. My gran lived in Henry Street, which is off Norton Street. Not that it will help.

As a footnote to that CT, when we lived at Snape wood, we lived next door to a couple who we used to see walk by our window in their Sunday best, on the way to 'Top House' ,Hoewood road. They used to stand at the bar all night, like a pair of mannikins and never spoke to each other.

Morning Phil, can I respectfully ask, when buying on line/post, how can you be sure if the frames are going to fit? When I go to pick up new specs I sometimes require adjustment by the assistant to get a good fit. Would you have to send specs back via post, if, for example they were loose or the arms didn't fit over the ears etc.?

No Mary, but I'm gonna have a look now... I'm intrigued. Happy Buthday to Master Had a looksee, very interesting Mary. Long while since I've seen him. X

I've used Specsavers for years and have been highly satisfied with them. My lenses are coated anti scratch, transitions, (reactolight,) Being diabetic, a careful check is made each visit and I also attend Lewes hospital for diabetic retinopathy. When a prescription change is called for, I get normal distancing plus a pair of reading glasses, (these don't warrant transitions, just anti scratch). I choose plastic rather than glass as these are lighter to wear. I can even use my existing frames when changing, (although I realise they can't guarantee the frames as new). Don't suppose thi
