Colin is the shopper, he is very skilled at returns!

Well, not gunpowder tea, but badly crimped tea bags so that when I poured hot water into the mug they expanded, floated to the top and then went pop spraying tea powder out!!

Exploding tea bags when I was attempting to make Colin's early morning cuppa.

Still in my collection!

We haven't even been offered a Covid booster. I just checked and its over 75 years only, but Col should have been offered one.

Well Done and nice to see a little change for a change. Great news but please ...

That's sad Tripps.

I was up and out early listening to the dawn chorus. :smile: It's a misty, dull morning but the birds were singing away beautifully and there were a few surprises hidden amongst the usual suspects.

Congratulations to Kev and Paulette! That's a few glasses I'll be raising

Many Congratulations Sue and Bob.

It is worth reporting excellent, if not remarkable service. Our son needed a Birth Certificate to sign up with an Employment Agency, having lost his job of 18 years. He has also lost his adoption certificate, which takes the place of a birth certificate, and it was my job to try and get a replacemen...
