You sound like me. Normally quite mild mannered until someone rattles my cage and I’m afraid I can let rip with the best of them!
Yes, us quiet ones are not to be messed with.

That was an interesting morning, my Good Lady stirred just after my first post on here this morning so I was able to get the early tesco visit in. We had a care assessment this morning, which is why no carer till ten, and we had Social services there to do the assessment, a good discussion ensued with several valid points brought up, the problem is the care visit is too early and we're not being given the opportunity to change it, the agency say early, before seven, or late, after ten, but not between the two. But now we've had our six peneth on it we will see if anything changes.

There were thunder round these parts earlier, but no rain or lightning.
Now we have a bit of rain.

What a lovely speech from Charles. Have to admit I shed a tear.

I too thought it was a decent effort.
Not into the Monarchy, definitely not religious and no big fan of Charles; but, for someone who has just lost his mother he remained very composed & dignified.
I see that the RIP HM thread has descended into rollocks.

Me too. Generally I keep quiet and carry on but wind me up and I'll get overheated. Like today riding out of the village another school run driver didn't stop when it was my right of way. School starts at 9.00, possibly arriving in the village earlier than 8.54 would help.
I refused to move and the driver backed up. I know it's petty but I live here, I'm a cyclist, my right of way, park 300 yards up the road and walk!!!! If I'm meeting the guys 8.50ish is my leaving time for 9.30. I really cannot tolerate these self-entitled drivers in their huge cars who think delivering little Jack or Gill to the school gate is the only thing that matters.
Sorry. Rant over!!!
Damn good ride today. New route and cafe. Nice little cafe which did coffee and a cake for £3.95. 👌 Their choice of cake. Today was carrot cake.
Left shifter failed two miles from home. Cable is OK. Front mech moves OK if I do it by hand. I suspect something more serious. Visit to the LBS tomorrow.
Apart from this? Well the bank paid my credit card bill.........twice. Cue rapid phone call to sort that one out. All good now.
G&T time.

Just been for a look. I don't understand why people have to behave this way?

A question. I am serious. What happens to coins and bank notes? Does the Royal Mint stop production immediately or possibly production stopped a few weeks ago in anticipation of such an event?
Anyone know or have an inkling?

I think it’s quite a gradual process and those with the Queen will continue to be used for quite some time.

Phase out the existing notes and coinage, whilst introducing the new ones.
The old stamps cease to be legal on the 23rd January next year.

It'll take them a while to get the new coinage designed and issued, once thats been done there will be a gradual withdrawal of the old ones, they'll continue to be legal tender for quite a while yet.
