    Does your Mr T have much local competition?

    We have a Waity's that opened recently and I'm sure that has had an effect, especially as they are relatively coupon friendly (any coupons I get for things that I don't usually purchase I can use there) also I have now reverted to Asda for my main shopping as they are much cheaper for basic items and I pop into Aldi for their cheap fruit 'n' veg.
    When I was in my local Asda recently (end of month payday) it was manic, just like xmas with queues down the aisles :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Good morning CC and everyone else.

    There is an Asda just 2 minutes away from Tesco, and an Aldi a couple minutes further down the road.

    Also there is a Morrison, Sainsburys, Netto, Lidl and about 10 minutes drive away too, so lots of choice there.

    But still Tesco's was really busy, don't think they will be down too much on takings. There was a lot people buying tv's and toys and clothes as well.

    I have become a supermarket tart, and hunted down the bargains where I can, using moc's of course.

    Hi,
    I have to say that I think there is only one 4.58 in a day, the other one is 16.58.

    It's about time we got rid of am and pm, all my working life I have used the 24 hour clock, it's easy.

    Have a nice day

    Your average soldier by the way, only earns around £16,000 a year and often has to support a family with that.

    Anyone who thinks they get paid enough when binmen are on £18,000 is a fruitcake (thats putting it mildly)!!!

    These young men and women deserve, our respect and love, when it comes to poppy day, please show yours!!


    They are doing their bit.....please do yours by reading this and forwarding it to someone else:


    ?ui=1&view=att&th=1249fed803ec1cd5&attid=0.2&disp=emb&realattid=0.2&zw

    The average British soldier is 19 years old…..he is a short haired, well built lad who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears and just old enough to buy a round of drinks but old enough to die for his country – and for you. He’s not particularly keen on hard work but he’d rather be grafting in Afghanistan than unemployed in the UK . He recently left comprehensive school where he was probably an average student, played some form of sport, drove a ten year old rust bucket, and knew a girl that either broke up with him when he left, or swore to be waiting when he returns home. He moves easily to rock and roll or hip-hop or to the rattle of a 7.62mm machine gun.

    ?ui=1&view=att&th=1249fed803ec1cd5&attid=0.1&disp=emb&realattid=0.3&zw


    He is about a stone lighter than when he left home because he is working or fighting from dawn to dusk and well beyond. He has trouble spelling, so letter writing is a pain for him, but he can strip a rifle in 25 seconds and reassemble it in the dark. He can recite every detail of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either effectively if he has to. He digs trenches and latrines without the aid of machines and can apply first aid like a professional paramedic. He can march until he is told to stop, or stay dead still until he is told to move.

    ?ui=1&view=att&th=1249fed803ec1cd5&attid=0.5&disp=emb&realattid=0.4&zw


    He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation but he is not without a rebellious spirit or a sense of personal d ignity. He is confidently self-sufficient. He has two sets of uniform with him: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his water bottle full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never forgets to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes and fix his own hurts. If you are thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food is your food. He'll even share his life-saving ammunition with you in the heat of a firefight if you run low..

    He has learned to use his hands like weapons and regards his weapon as an extension of his own hands. He can save your life or he can take it, because that is his job - it's what a soldier does. He often works twice as long and hard as a civilian, draw half the pay and have nowhere to spend it, and can still find black ironic humour in it all. There's an old saying in the British Army: 'If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined!'

    ?ui=1&view=att&th=1249fed803ec1cd5&attid=0.4&disp=emb&realattid=0.5&zw


    He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and he is unashamed to show it or admit it. He feels every bugle note of the 'Last Post' or 'Sunset' vibrate through his body while standin g rigidly to attention. He's not afraid to 'Bollock' anyone who shows disrespect when the Regimental Colours are on display or the National Anthem is played; yet in an odd twist, he would defend anyone's right to be an individual. Just as with generations of young people before him, he is paying the price for our freedom. Clean shaven and baby faced he may be, but be prepared to defend yourself if you treat him like a kid.
    He is the latest in a long thin line of British Fighting Men that have kept this country free for hundreds o f years. He asks for nothing from us except our respect, friendship and understanding. We may not like what he does, but sometimes he doesn't like it either - he just has it to do.. Remember him always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.

    And now we even have brave young women, some of whom are young mothers themselves, putting themselves in harm's way, doing their part in this tradition of going to war when our nation's politicians call on us to do so.

    When you receive this, please stop for a moment and if you are so inclined, feel free to say a prayer for our troops in the trouble spots of the world.

    God bless our troops







  • I was sent this - sorry it should have poppies where the red x is. Not sure why its not quite right but I'm sure you will all understand the meaning of it - especially those who have relatives in the forces.

    The gremlins seem to have corrected it - sorry.

    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
    We will remember them.
