The thing is, back in those days such terms were common place. Even the term !!!!!! wasn't overly frowned upon. That was all before society as a whol became more educated and understanding of such things.

If the lady in question thinks back not to that day all those years ago, I bet she'd be very embarrased. She apologised and that was nice.....many wouldn't have even bothered back then.

I am only 33 so the 'back then' is 1992 or thereabouts, not an unenlightened age I wouldn't have thought. Even when I was at primary (1982-89) we were told off VERY severely if anyone used the term !!!!!! in a derogatory manner, though I seem to recall it wasn't until the early 90s The Spastics Society changed its name to SCOPE......

Mind you she wouldn't have apologised had my mum not challenged her...

I'm in and out of them all the time but must admit the first time I did I was nervous but my DH told me that the vast majority of people don't care who or what you were and not to worry, this eased my mind and made me relax a good bit.
My problem was I'd been working in the city centre for too long and on many occasions when there had been bomb alerts and remembered the fear I'd felt then for many of my staff (I was the company's youngest manager at 19yrs old) trying to get them to our safe place. That fear doesn't leave you, you just learn to live with it.

That must have been awful but like you say, if that's what's happening where you live then it will become like a way of life. It must have been very strange for everyone to adjust xx

He couldn't decide what to steal: red tomatoes or green peppers..


I actually feel sorry for him. He must have got hooked on the adrenalin rush. If only he had discovered clip strips.

I feel sorry for him. He always seemed a nice guy on tv. I know that he's in trouble financially but you would have thought that he would have separated his business concerns from his personal life but who knows for certain.

It's strange but it becomes the norm. My parents grew up hearing bullets being fired and bombs going off on a regular basis. By my generation hearing such things wasn't just as common but almost daily there'd be a message flash up on your TV screen asking key holders for premises in certain towns & streets to return to their properties (firebombs and the like). I've only ever heard one explosion and it was quite a small one in comparison. Pretty much everyone in this country has been affected one way or another whether it be through the injury or loss of a loved one, the impact of being caught up in a bomb scare (been there done that and it's not nice) or simply from being exposed to what we've lived with for so long.

I mentioned a comedy sketch earlier by (if I'm right) Paddy Kielty who you will hopefully have heard of. It summed up the narrow minded folk over here so well. It sounds strange but a lot of people from previous generations were brought up not to mix with 'the other side'. So what happens when you're out on the pull and spot a saucy little number on the dance floor? Well you have to find out if yer ma & da would approve so you ask innocent sounding questions in order to ascertain their religion. The questions started out with asking the persons name. If that didn't work then you asked what school they went to (school were and most still are dominated by one religion or the other e.g. most church schools are RC). If that didn't work you asked if they played sports (again some sports are played by both religions, some by only one) ..... or what team they support (think Rangers/Celtic) ...... or where they live ...... or brothers/sisters names and so it would go on until you had enough information to determine if the saucy little number had pulled or if the quest would go on.

That's what this country is trying to move on from. To us it's the norm and we just get on with it.

Good Evening/Good Morning

Wow a whole day to catch up on, think I might have to admit defeat on that one!

I've been out all day, 70 mile round trip of Boots and Sainsburys and a few other shops thrown in but no T's! I was gutted when the Sainsbury's thread appeared on the grabbit board, from Brand8's post I thought that it was only locals having the 10p sale So I didn't get there until lunchtime and primarily went for Lindt Santa's which had obviously all gone I did get lots of bargains, mainly by hunting up and down the aisles for dumped xmas food! Although the majority of what I bought was seasonal reductions, I still managed to spend £30!

I felt quite good about my haul until I got home, added it all up and came on here to find I could have got 1p Mini Eggs and Lindor eggs! Hmmmph! Has it only been Express stores? There's no way I can justifty the petrol again tomorrow to go to an Express

Hope all's well with the Elite....going to attempt some catching up.

EDIT: For everyone in the Br1stol area.....

Boots: -
WSM out of town glitch working, no SS though so need a nice SA or to keep them talking!
WSM in town = TROUTED so no go I would think
Br0admead working perfectly but again no SS
Bradley St0ke no cheap vitamins, Cr1bbs no cheap vitamins.

Sainsburys: -
W0rle xmas food shelves almost empty, just candy canes left. Big tubs of mincemeat and Yule Log decorating kits on baking aisle for 10p each and a few cheap xmas decs.
W1nterstoke Road few odd food bits, Aero mint little trees+candy canes, white 400g Toblerone is in the main chocolate aisle with no SEL but scans at 50p Quite a few xmas decs in there.
1 by MOD building big bags of Sainsbo's tortillas for 10p and drums of Hula Hoops for 30p, LOADS of clipstrips of Lindor Balls for 10p, big mincemeat tubs for 10p and some sugarpaste xmas cake decs & lots of cheap baubles etc

Don't really think the coding of the store names is required but thought I'd better do it anyway!

I remember back in about 1970, my auntie (a Catholic in Wales) had two young children from NI come to stay with her for the summer holidays. Liz and Cathy. They were strangers to her but this had all been arranged by the nuns. The two young girls brought presents for our family. They gave my uncle real rubber bullets! They seemed pleased to give them to him but we all stood around confused and bemused!
