Oooohhh! Get you!!
That said, my perk as a kid was having a Dad who fixed colour photocopiers, so our school projects were practically works of art, as we got it all free!

I generally did; when your Dad's the pastor it's harder not to turn up. Mind you I apparently had a reputation for always drawing pictures of trains, no matter wha tthe theme was...

'David's Thumper was heard throughout the land'.
This sounds eminently more sensible than what they were trying (unsuccessfully) to teach me. A lot of it never really made much sense to me at the time.
Like I said, the best bit was the Smarties at the end!

"Bent Bargains", some places still do them.
Another unplanned outing for the ebike this evening. The plan had been to use up the 50p off oranges Waitrose voucher tomorrow lunchtime as a break from being in the office but looking at the weather forecast if it's going to rain tomorrow it will be at lunchtime. Probably not now. Did my usual trick with their self service tills of scanning an item after I had paid for it

I made a point of refusing to those things. The local Tesco had a rethink after they scanned my few items, and I went to pay, with cash, for it. Every till went down.Another unplanned outing for the ebike this evening.

They never got me to use one again.

I worked at an engineering place for eight years, they insisted on a refresher every two years for us Forklift drivers, my job was in raw materials and I was handling stillages plus bundles and boxes of metal bar, what used to make the week long course interesting was that there was always a section on pallet and racking, which was something I never did day to day and I was having to remember it from the last course I did.

Quite a warm and unexpectedly breezy ride today - but as it was in the Cambridgesire flatlands I should have expected that. Got to see a Stratotanker & a C130 flying low in the Fordham/Isleham area (they'd just taken off from Mildenhall), plus the sound of a few F15s playing about. With a bit of forward planning (unusual for me) I'd taken a bike lock and left it on one of the stands at Ely Tesco while I went for the ride, so when I got back I was able to leave the bike secured while I popped in and got the food & drink for work this week.
Asda originally had some that were great for unloading a pocket of change into but then they changed them to ones that took each coin very slowly in turn. Co-Ops are good in the sense they offer you your reward money off the bill, something rarely done at a staffed till.

We got no smarties in Sunday School. Probably why I got moved up to acolytes soon as I did. Fancy outfit, got to hear the sermon, was in church with the adults.(My cousin Robbie, anyway, parents weren't really "into" religion. Not their groove, man...)
