The Retirement Thread

We live about twenty miles away and have trouble interpreting broad Brummie.

I am glad that I don't have a Brummie accent.

I am glad that I don't have a Brummie accent.

And me.
When I go back to Brum, I get asked where I come from.

Got my 10 miler in earlier. Pleasant but very windy. Trying to build the mileage up and managed 2x10 and a 30 since Saturday.....plus a game of golf yesterday.
Got to do what we can to stay fit hey?

Good morning. A bit breezy here. We had a whole 5 minutes of rain last night.

Plenty due in the next few days though?

I hope you realise that I'm not actually Welsh, I just live here.

God help the Welsh

Alas, the Lord has already forsaken them.

Try giving a takeaway(Large fish & chips) order to a Welsh speaking chinaman, in a broad Yorkshire(West Riding) accent.

Seems like it.

Went to Specsavers and was impressed with the quality of their eye testing. It was very thorough with latest equipment. Anyway ordered two pairs of glasses for me and two for my wife too. It all came to £235.50 all together. Not bad considering the Welsh Hospital policy I have will pay back £125 each, so even better. Collecting the new specs next Monday.

Oh lord, last eyetest I had at Specsavers I had a very attractive Asian lass in her twenties, who had half the buttons on her blouse undone. My blood pressure shot up and I developed spontaneous glaucoma.
