The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

But I have an Oldham post code and some websites will not accept West Yorkshire as the county and force me to select Lancashire!


I didn't know that so I checked - yes, you are correct except for a few trans-border buses. Same situation with Scotland.


Yes, I was looking at that earlier. I will have to use my birth certificate if they won't accept my lapsed passport.


I am pretty good with computers and websites but I didn't find navigating the Calderdale council website particularly easy!

And your dialling code, for a landline is 01706, Rochdale.

I did say the local council has made it nigh on impossible. The fact their having problems with the site at present doesn't help. The site identifies some council documents as unsafe, so won't allow them to be opened.

Between the council site and the metro site you should be able to get something.
Try at the following,

Good morning all.
Another frosty start to the day here.
Today I will be walking the dog to my son's place. I will be carrying some trowels and a float as he has a bit of rendering on the wall that needs a little attention.
This evening, MrsP has some tickets for a firework display. She does like a good display, 🎆 I personally can take or leave them.
Another busy day in paradise

Best mates from Minehead are coming over this morning and stopping overnight. We'll all have a walk down to the village for lunch and a wobble back later.

Morning. I let Drago think he was first, although I actually looked in around 5.30.

Happy Birthday Dirk. ....enjoy your cake


Chilly but dry again here so another walk/jog done. Not even recording it on my Garmin as it's so pathetic. Lol.

A quick good morning to all.
Yesterday was the 1st for 12 months+ that I have not needed to go back to bed for a couple of hours.......this morning I am totally knackered. So.....not sure if that was an improvement or not
