"Thank you for booking a smart meter appointment. Once it's up and running, you'll be able to see how much energy you're using in pounds and pence. And you won't have to worry about sending us your meter readings any more - your smart meter will send them to us automatically."
I don't believe you - I already have smart meters, but they are acting pretty dumb! :laugh:

Pace I think if it’s Garmin. Think red is faster if I remember correctly.

Yep. This was my ride yesterday.
Sorry but don't believe you. It looks nothing like a willy.
Well, maybe, possibly, after a night on the beer.
 
Been looking for information about the elections

all our constituencies have changed - looks like we have been changed to a posh area - all the local privately owned houses have been grouped together and the poor people in the council estates have been kept in separate areas.
Sounds like someone is trying to find a way to get a Conservative onto the council!! Good luck with that round here!!!


Anyway - important point is that we are now officially posh - and our address says Cheshire so it must be true

It always makes me smile when I see some of the descriptions in the local estate agent’s windows. “ Sea glimpses” is a particular favourite, along with “ (insert desirable area) fringe”
My humble abode boasts views over the rolling Purbeck hills ( if I stand on a chair in the spare bedroom wielding a pair of binoculars) 😄

Second youngest daughter has done quite well for herself, and, recently moved to a rather smart area of Sunderland (if there is such a thing). But, the area, in general, is a former Heavy Industry and Coal Mining area, and, even the "smart" areas are often cheek by. jowl with the "social housing". I started life in "social housing", as did daughter, so, not making "snob" comparisons. Anyway, to the point, shortly after moving, she went on a walk one day, which took in the nearby Council Estate. She noted there were fr more Range Rovers, and other expensive 4x4s, parked there, than in the area she lives. Funny old world.
