I know it is a big ask, with so many worthwhile causes competing for everyones cash, but on Friday night I will be doing the Big Issue Night Walk again. If anyone is able to spare a little it would be so much appreciated. A link to our fundraising page is on the charities board here:

A few RTCs but nowt worth posting, apart from a nice couple of bits of salmon. It seemed that all of those 'people from Walmart' where there, the SAs doing the reductions had themselves barricaded in! Time for a sharp exit for me.

It's really not the hard to work out double the difference. She worked the difference out as £22.50 which is correct. Why is it so hard to double that ? ("i'll give you the same again") Staggering how bad many people are at primary school maths.

So true, my 11 year old grand daughter could work that out.
I could never teach maths as I can't understand how people can't see the obvious!
I now think the till must have worked it out for her in the first place, I was writing it down as you would in primary school and she couldn't get it, their loss, my gain!
