    Wouldn't the bat named Lucille be more effective?

    Hint, see The Walking Dead.:)

    It happens all the time, but I simply don't find it annoying. I might worry that they could damage something or get hurt, but the mere fact of them being in the wrong place/doing something childlike doesn't annoy me.

    Obviously, I could be in a minority of one with this. I find all sorts of things annoying, but funnily enough not children!

    I read on another forum yesterday about three children playing on their own in a crowded hotel lounge bar, running around, chasing each other, doing cartwheels, that sort of thing. Then their parents arrived; the father handed each child a Nerf gun and both parents watched benignly while their darling offspring had a Nerf battle. In a hotel lounge bar full of other guests.

    That's my plan too. I was also crafty enough to buy chewy ones because I know DH worries that they will pull his implants out:D

    Welcome over to the light side antrobus. Do pull up a chair and pour yourself a cuppa.

    My Way still ongoing (35th rendition?) - where do I sign up for the angel?

    I moved jobs earlier this year. I so don't miss the busker, who I then saw in St Albans on the front page of the Herts Ad and it was the same one, albeit in a different town to where I worked.

    I was interviewing people last year and he was outside playing the same tune for the entire duration of the interview.

    And if anyone is reading the NPT thinking "accordions, not that bad", they aren't just accordions, they are amplified accordions:eek:, and the repertoire is extremely limited.

    Am I coldhearted for hoping that an unexpected result of extending universal credit to the self employed will be he'll take up fork lift truck driving or some other pastime not outside my window?

    I find them very annoying in restaurants but love to hear joyful playing in their back gardens.

    I'm usually in cafes trying to either quietly make calls or go through a wad of paperwork with someone, so completely agree with this.
