Lydia, Poppet is a crossbreed. Yes, they've given her a fancy made up name so they can charge lots as they do these days, but that doesn't change the fact she's a crossbreed. Mother is a jack russell with a lovely temperament which I'm hoping Poppet has inherited.
Crossbreeds are fab. Avatar Dog was a crossbreed. Our best guess - he was rescue so who knows what he really came from - was half black lab and half greyhound. We referred to him as a labrahound, and used to explain his obsession with the ball by observing that the greyhound half ran after the ball and the labrador half brought it back.
Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
I'm just pleased there were enough actors left to resurrect "Goodnight Sweetheart" the other day. No point re-doing it with new actors, the originals did a fine job. There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0

You can always just watch her with the sound turned offPasturesNew wrote: »I find her annoying, self-promoting, arrogant and ... thick as !!!!!!
She never listens to the answers of people she's interviewing, so her next question is always following her "assumed position" and not taking on board the answer that might indicate the basis of her opinion was ill-informed.
She talks over people she's not really interested in listening to.
She's disjointed, annoying .... grrrrr.... can't bear the woman

So much for my "long in the tooth" - I've just been looking and find that Robin Ellis does have a part in the new version - as Reverend Dr Halse.
I've got the first series of the new version recorded, keep meaning to watch it but so far have always gone for the original instead.0 -

Yes, I enjoyed that!
Interesting that they spotlighted all the big changes since the original series finished!(I just lurve spiders!)

I enjoyed Goodnight Sweetheart too - I really hope they'll make a new series!
I liked the new version of Porridge too. But they can keep Are You Being Served and Young Hyacinth. We only lasted about five minutes into the latter.0 -

Just picking my way through what'd, today, be the will of a multi-millionaire .... which I discovered as the family name got a mention.
So, first to find out all the relationships and who got what. The single instance of my family name in the will is my GGGG-grandfather's brother - his wife inherited £200 from her uncle (1827).
But, the uncle left business and property portfolios that are staggeringly extensive. Whole farms, groups of houses, businesses, stock, implements, stuff .... and he seems to have had no family, so everything went out to his nieces/nephews.
One was a lovely little read, where a little spinster niece was left
"Freehold houses, kitchen, outhouses, pleasure house, garden and lands at .... now in the occupation of myself, and the adjoining shop, for her life, then to her issue. If no issue then to the children of [another nephew]" I bet she was pleased.... 0 -
