    Got a sweet story to share.

    We have an elderly couple come to the park for a walk then have something to share in the cafe, they used to ask for a separate plate but now I just dish them up to slightly smaller portions for the same price, from the way they talk I dont think they are that well of and coming to ours is a weekly treat. Last week they showed me photos of red squirrels on Anglesey , and I said I have always wanted to see one. But never have. This time after there meal ,they always give a small tip, and he goes, I have a little tip for you what I hope you will appreciate, it was a squirrel nutkin 50 p coin:), I was so chuffed and explained to them I love Beatrice Potter and wanted to collect them all but only had 3 rabbits and the one with writing on.
    They where really pleased they had kept it for me and said they would look for more, what a lovely couple. Moments like that make the job worth doing .:D

    That's lovely :):) I found a Mrs Tiggywinkle 50p coin the other day. I have kept it because she was always my favourite :):)

    Does anyone know where the thread with where the Tesco price checkers were located in each store is?

    It was on the first page of this thread but not sure if it's uptodate :)

    Don't know if these are still in use as so many stores now have hand held scanners

    hth
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    For you Dani:D

    Just remembering that I have a load of these figures somewhere. They were bought for DD and DS when they were tiny. Wedgewood or Royal Doulton something like that.

    And I haven't a clue where they are now:think::think:

    My nickname when I worked was Mrs Tiggywinkle. :o

    Short with (permed) curly hair apparently, and a bit round at times. :eek:

    Trouble is being short any extra weight used to go straight round my middle, they even bought me the Wedgewood mug. :o
