    Morning all, catching up again, hope all are well.

    Just took this 'which political tribe are you' test from here http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26689333

    Main Segment = Optimistic Contentment

    Confident & comfortable, they are more highly educated, of a higher social grade & have higher incomes than the other groups. They are patient, prudent & tolerant but also think Britain is a soft touch. They believe people can get on if they work hard & that too much is expected from government

    Higher social grade, tee hee, born in a council house and proud of it
    Replace higher incomes with lower outgoings, thanks to the Elite :)

  • Morning everyone.
    I found some christmas aprons at T's marked at reduced to £5, scanned at 1p. No idea how to post a picture. They said it's the most wonderful time of year on the front.

    the snowflakes are huge....
