My wide went to buy a birthday card today for £1.39. When she showed a £10 note, they didn't have enough change in the till and asked her to pay with her bank card . She declined and put the card back.

So - clocks go back tomorrow

which is all well and good
except that the bedroom clock is one of those old ones that decides the time based on a radio signal from

something - somewhere - probably magic

anyway - in the old days it just never worked
once it didn;t get the right time for 3 days!!


recently it has got the right time after the hour change - but not necessarily within a few minutes
sometimes a few hours later


which is rather confusing when you wake up and don;t know whether it is 7:20 or 8:20 or 6:20


so I will have to remember to take my phone up with me tonight so I can check
which will probably wake me up more and I;ll be up earlier than I intended

I can see problems here. They have introduced a new system where you have to book a time, day and date slot. I can see a hell of a lot of fly tipping taking place as a result.

They use this system in Coventry and Leamington and it’s works fine and has stopped the traffic problems at the weekend the local tips used to cause ( without any reduction in the amount of rubbish collected over the week or any increase in fly tipping ) .

Do people in wales have problems using the interweb. ? 😂😀

Go on what film is it?
Eggshell emulsion, starring Barry Bucknell by chance.

Yes - but when I wake up in the morning that is beyond me
and if I get to a stage that I can do that then I will be awake and can;t get back to sleep!!!

The distances that people have to travel is the problem. For us it's a 50 mile round trip so for people to have to have an appointment system won't be acceptable.

They go forward not back. Spring =forward. Autumn = back.

Think his clocks might end up deciding which way they go!

And summer just around the corner, or as Orphan Annie sang "It's only a day away".
