Back from the pub. Won a bottle of plonk in the free bingo, which they sell at £17.99 so a good result.

Or change his 1st name slightly to GEROFF.

He was Eastern European, his original first name was Handelmi

Early night tonight, ensure I'm rested and ready for tomorrows ascent of Featherbed Moss. I have to uphold the honour of CycleChat!

I resisted the urge to pop in for some sausage and tripe.

I wonder how often the graffiti mob add the word "likes" between first and last name?

Not much budget talk on here so it must be reckoned to definitely have been a damp squib!

The dropping of the reduced £12000 ISA limit for under 65's is very good news - seemed very mean to me. Especially as we have all been encouraged to save for old age across the years.

I have done the refresher course and passed the assessment.

Was that on of those on line courses or a real one with inperson practical training.

As you know, I will be 80 in a few months.......please advise when I should start saving for my old age.

They do some cracking oatcakes, a few of the cafes do an breakfast wrap with them or a full English and oatcake, not to be missed when in the area.

So back home now, a bit of a mixed bunch, got some of what I wanted but the rest was not in stock in the shop so had to order it to be delivered, at least it's free delivery and the best part the polo's I wanted had been reduced so I got 4 and they were less than the 2 I was going to get. Also found a new to me cafe and had a very nice Pastrami toastie with pickle, mustard and cheese, reminded me a bit of a Reuben.

Product now sampled. I can report that it is advisable to spread it thinly. My friend from Ghana will probably eat it off the spoon 🤯

Did you pinch a loaf?

No. I can afford it. Petty theft/shoplifting isn't my thing although I can see why people do. Those self scans seems to be a golden opportunity to increase the value of your shopping
