That happened to my Dad
Went to the Rotary Club for many many years
had people round for dinner and went to a lot of social events outside the Club
Thought he had a lot of friends
Then his disability (WW2 thingy) put him in a wheelchair after decades of fighting against it
He felt guilty about people having to ferry him to and from the club meeting as he could no longer drive
Only one of the old "friends" bothered to keep in touch
some of the women kept in touch with mu Mum but their husbands never came round with them
shameful really

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
My ears are burning. Is someone talking about me by any chance?

Gosh, it's been a busy day. I am outraged about something. Genuinely. Today I had reason to buy a 4 pint carton of milk in Tesco, £1.55 (39p per pint). In the same store off the next shelf I needed to buy, at the same time, a 1 pint carton at 90p!!!!! 
How does that work???? That's a 51p premium per pint on smaller bottles. Every time I visit a Tesco I find another reason to detest the company even more.
More positively I got a full settlement from the insurers for my bike and kit. The bulk is a cash payment but £500 is in Amazon vouchers that I can spend on whatever I please. The cash payment is for non-standard items; Lusso jersey, Assos bib shorts, bespoke Kinesis bike. Anyhting that is standard, the Wahoo, is paid in vouchers to push one towards a lower cost supplier.***
*** that made me smile. The Wahoo is cheaper direct from Wahoo it is on Amazon!!!

If you have an ASDA near you, £1.45, don't know how much their one pint cartons are.

I'd have insisted on cash in full, not vouchers usable through one retailer only. Especially when that retailer changes the conditions of use to suit itself.Gosh, it's been a busy day.

The excuse for the price difference is that a large amount of the cost it the processing and packaging
Hence the actual price of the milk is only a small percentage of the overall cost
and it takes almost as much to fill the small bottles as the large ones in spite of there being 1/4 of the milk in them
How close that gets to reality is something we can debate
but I would tend to the cynical
especially as people who buy the bigger bottles with tend to be people who buy a lot more stuff overall as they are feeding more people
and hence are worth more profit to the company
but that's just me
maybe

None of that in the brotherhood. If I'm crook the almoner will have brethren at my door right quick, and if I drop of my perch they'll watch over Mrs D and assist her financially.
You drink the Jamacan lager then.
No, but I did use a Covid tester.
