The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

On the subject of disposing of 'white goods' - there is a bloke round here that will pick anything metal up for free
He can be contacted on Facebook - or the NextDoor website
Where my wife used to life a van comes round, at apparently random time, yelling IRON though the worst speaker ever made - he will take anything metal.

On a note of interest to us state pensioners - the Lords have kicked the proposed dropping of the triple lock back to the House. So there will be a vote on it. Make a note of which way your MP votes.....

There's no way they will give us 8%

Not a bad day here, dry and quite sunny at times. Have done the cleaning and been for a ‘run’. Now I just need to put pen to paper to my mother.

I have a feeling they are going to do what they can to get rid of the triple lock altogether

I think they've been wanting to do that for a while now.

I didn't know plessey were still in business. The engineering firm I worked at nearly 50 years ago used to do work for them.

I was at the GEC Stoke for 15 years.

From my doctors -
" we have not received any vaccines and so have not confirmed any clinic dates"

My Jabs have been at a Local sports club which coincidentally happens to be home to my running club ( Up the Harriers! ) so I was very familiar with the layout. The Club had reopened by the time of my booster jab, with the vaccinations taking place in the large sports hall adjacent to the lounge. I could see a few people supping pints and I did think that they'd missed a trick by not issuing a discount voucher for a Pint of Beer or glass of wine with every jab " That's you done, you'll need to wait 15 minutes post jab, would you care to take a seat in the bar? " .

I have asked quite a few people in the village and none of them have had there booster jab.
I didn't have my second jab until 24 May so I will have to wait until late November

Good afternoon everyone.
All domestics done, bimble on the bike done, including a stop at the grocers for some fruit and vegetables. The sky darkened on the way home and it started raining.
So, I diverted to the Railway Bell in New Barnet for a pint or three, and as luck would have it my Doctor is just a few yards away, and I have my Flu jab at 3.30💉
Happy days.
Toad in the hole for dinner , with onion gravy, roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage and mashed swede
Another busy day in paradise
