Hi zag, the weather seems to be not as bad as you feared before leaving?

This is different to our childhoods... [1] my mum couldn't drive and we weren't taken to places. If you wanted to go somewhere you walked or cycled or didn't go. [2] Paid for our own driving license. [3] Mum would have knitted us a case and we'd have used it [4] Whatever that is, we'd have had to pay for it or do without.

Our mums would have had cash in her pocket and we'd have gone without, but then everybody went without so you didn't feel deprived.

1. My mum did drive...but dad paid for all the stuff. I walked pretty much everywhere, including in 4 inch heels, a mini skirt, a blouse and a nothing jacket in snow!

2. I paid for my own license, James is paying half of his and the other half I am paying as part of the treat system I operate for decent exam grades.

3. Not sure a knitted case would cut it! I had knitted pencil cases

4. Not really able to go without it as it is an essential part of a drum kit and it will enable him to earn some pennies in the very near future where he will pay me back.

Ah ... the curse of the working classes.

I am sitting here, in comfort, on the sofa - watching Location, Location, Location.... cold drink in hand and the sun is shining brightly in a blue sky .... lots of things I could do, but am not.

I love Location, Location, Location (can I admit that on here, will I be pilloried...)

I've been cycling through the same four websites daily for the past three months because the office has been dead. I've been watching the amount of brown stuff build higher and higher because next week is a big week at work but delays and technical hitches and no training on the new software will mean a sewagey tidal wave of epic proportions...

Has anyone seen the new Rhod Gilbert show? It's coming to St Albans later in the year and he's one of my favourite comedians. Would like to get tix if recommended.

Not seen it. I like Rhod Gilbert in bits.
I'd say go. What have you got to lose? £15? In contrast you could gain a series of hilarious experiences! Bargain!

Saturday night ... 7pm ..... top/popular seaside resort famed for pumping crowds and mayhem ...... took my life in my hands to go grab a chinese and .... totally crossed all roads without even having to look because IT'S DESERTED OUT THERE!!!!

The road I had to cross is the main road through - and usually busy, busy, busy, at a standstill ... chokka .... and people speeding in spurts to 'impress' .... nothing. Nobody.

Vivre La Recession. I can cross roads, no queue for the chinese, no queue in Aldi. Joyous

I reckon it was because the FA cup final was on...;)

Can brown stuff build higher - surely it more sort of spreads out wider?
