Anyone in their 60s still call their elderly Aunts just by their first names or do they still get their full title, ie. "Aunty Nora*"

I always called them just Auntie. Unfortunately all 4 of them are long gone now, but my Dad's youngest brother is still going at the age of 82. I still call him Just Uncle.

Morning all....we have a wet one here heavy rain earlier. Just a drizzle now when I let the dog out. Busy morning shopping in the builder's depot while it's too wet to work outside. 🌈

I have stopped going to the merchants, I let them deliver so much easier, I have a cash account with Travis Perkins, 10% discount and free delivery.

@Exlaser2 is that Bredon Hill near Pershore? I was at the college in Pershore for three years '73-'76. I have vague memories of rowdy nights at a pub in Elmley Castle.

That’s the one . We actually parked the car outside the pub in Elmley castle to start our walk. Think it was I good job we did the walk yesterday and not today . 😂😂

...........and we have rain. The forecast of 11am was right then. It'll keep the noisy neighbours in!

Correct. I had thought the tram saying South Shore would give it away - never thought about the tower.

I haven't finished yet but have arsed about long enough. I shall do some cycle club admin.
