The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

May I rephrase that to "one of our main shopping centres".
This one is the Cockedge Centre.

Haven't heard of that one but then I very rarely visit Warrington. I tend to feel attempts to bring people back into our towns and cities rather than the constant spraw out to the countryside.

We often ride through Preston and out to the North. It's about two miles further today to clear the housing to reach lanes than five years ago.

Its our/my favoured centre as it has free 2 hour parking right next to it. Golden square has no parking anywhere near it.

Same thing happening in Ireland , apartments being built everywhere and new housing estates being bought totally by rich speculators to rent them out at ridiculous prices. Heating costs the same , people are hoping for a very mild winter. A good mate of mine remarked to me recently that we were so fortunate to be young in the 60s and 70s and could look forward to owning a house sometime and have enough money to rear a family . There was a queue of 150 people along the street in Dublin last week to view a flat that was for rent .

Phew, that was warm. Another 6 hilly miles done so nearly 14 for the day with 1200ft of elevation. The sweat was trickling down my face by the time I was half way up the hill.

You'd have to cut, move and stack the wood though, all by yourself.

A joke to cheer everybody up and stop thinking about fuel and energy rises ( hope you are not offended , its a bit risky !)

Paddy was walking through Dublin one day when he passes a shop with a notice in the window.
The notice said. "We sell everything". Paddy could not believe this so he went inside.
He walked to the counter and asked the salesperson. "Do you really sell everything?"
The salesperson said. "Yes, everything."
Thinking this was too good to be true Paddy said. "OK then could I have a jumper for a chicken?."
The salesperson said. "A jumper for a chicken? Hold on I will have to check the stock out the back."
Five minutes later, the salesperson returned with a brown paper bag. "Here you go, one jumper for a chicken."
"How much?" Asked Paddy.
"Three Euro's." Replied the salesperson.
"Three Euro's for a jumper for a chicken? Excellent." Said Paddy.
So away he went. When he got outside he thought to himself that maybe he was done, so he looked inside the bag. At the bottom of the bag was a condom.
He was mad and stormed back into the shop. He screamed at the salesperson. "Hey, I asked you for a jumper for a chicken and you have given me a condom what's going on?"
The salesperson replied. "Sorry mate, I checked in the back and we seem to be all out of jumpers for chickens, all we had was a pullover for a cock."........
