    You're right it is closed in the High Street and will stay that way, much to the disgust of most residents & traders. The particular parking area that started this little dialogue remains unchanged. Not heard of the driver driving into the florist though... I've been here 40 years and not heard...

    I know that very parking place. I know that very parking place. It's my town. It still looks the same now as it did in the 70's. T&J Owen are still flogging flowers :-)

    Euro's... Forza Italia!

    For England to go 1 up in first few minutes, good for the English. But to then park the bus for the rest of the game they deserved what they got. I'm not English ( or Italian) but I do love football. England were so, so boring after they scored and just sat back. The game came alive when Italy...

    What’s supposed to be in the boot?

    It looks like you have everything you are meant to have in the boot. I bought a brand new Ghibli and my boot had the same. Undertray with the bits n'bobs like yours and empty compartments under the boot mat.

    Ghibli 3.0 petrol

    I have a 2018 petrol, I had a 65 diesel prior to that. Both great cars, in fact Froddy & DaveT in this thread sum it up beautifully. I prefer the petrol version purely because the sound & smoothness acceleration. I've also had many german variants that we are all familiar with but would choose...

    Political Correctness

    I'm the 70's generation, so no point me putting my ten penneth forward!!!! But, in terms of the lunacy of PC.... I have seen the word " Boll@cks" having been used several times..... surely this word is banned in terms of PC as it is purely a mail attribute, but equally please do not say " it...

    Mum gave me this tonight....

    No, not at all TBH. A needle in the heel / sole inject the Steroid, no different to a jab in the harm. Honestly, no particular pain or anguish...

    Mum gave me this tonight....

    I've had it in both feet, several years apart. Get a GP referal to a specialist & request a steroid injection into the heel. I had it done and been trouble free for years...

    New Pension Rules

    True! but if your IFA is not making it work for you, then find one that does. They are there. Sorry! not an IFA myself or in total support of them, but can only give my experience over the years. Maybe I've just been lucky.

    New Pension Rules

    You do have to choose carefully I agree. Although I do have the mindset that, if the IFA is getting wealthy by helping me get wealthier I'm ok with that....

    New Pension Rules

    Another thought - I've worked through the IFA route for many years regarding my pension, I don't have a final salary scheme just a money purchase scheme which has grown over the years. In terms of return, pre covid my IFA's were always talking of working to an expectation of 4-6% growth year...

    My cats dead

    Sorry about your loss, I can only agree with all the other comments. It does however remind me of a saying I heard many years ago that has stuck with me, dog related but no different for cats, " I wish I could be the kind of person my dog thinks I am"

    Another Scammer?

    Yeh, but was thinking: it means you don't give out your bank details as you can request a payment When payment received you transfer to your chosen bank account sit on that for 10-14 days ( or whenever safe to consider a done deal) Release vehicle to the new owner No 'confidential' banking info...
