Well you have PGC, as anybody who knows you will attest. Anyway, according to the midwife when my very beautiful granddaughters were born, it's not "ginger" or "red", it's "strawberry blonde" :) Have to own up, I got very short shrift from my daughter when I called the first one "gingernut", never made that mistake again :)) Been drinking wine? Not me :))

Could you try contacting James Barber, who posts on this forum, to see if he could help? He's a councillor and might be able to give your Housing Officer a push to deal with this more effectively.

Lucky lucky you. Only time I've ever seen one was in Venice - I didn't even know they lived over here.

Yes I'd say it was almost certainly foxes. If it's any comfort it's usually only bad at this time of year.

PGC has wonderful hair :)

Alan Medic Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- Why do so many parcels get misdelivered? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It only seems that way because they're the ones we notice or hear about.

I'm sure Royal Mail would be delighted to bring them back, if people were willing to pay very very very much more for a stamp to cover the staff costs ..... which they aren't :) ETA: In some countries you have to go and collect all your mail yourself, so we are lucky to have it delivered to our homes and offices at all, I think!

I don't think you're missing it, Mockney :)

I'm speechless.

If you have an issue with somebody you should go to see them and sort it out, not slag them off behind their backs to people who don't even know them.

As I said, it's often subtle. Depends on your definition of bullying. The Office of Children and Young People?s Services? Anti-Bullying Strategy defines bullying as a persistent, deliberate attempt to hurt or humiliate someone.

Went back yesterday on a scavenging expedition, but many of them had gone .... Have just seen a froggie in my garden, hurrah!! So those of you who kindly told me they would still be around somewhere were right!! It seems to have doubled in size since the last sighting ..... :)-D

Do they do outside painting - house walls and woodwork?

Hasn't he given any reason?

Skegness is so bracing

Tiny froglets only as big (or small) as my fingernail but perfectly formed!

Men jiggling coins (sic) about in their pockets, particularly when everything else is quiet. People cracking their finger joints. Men jiggling their legs about when they've got one folded over the over.

PGC, I have a friend who actually lives in Tunbridge Wells. And btw, it's Royal Tunbridge Wells. Does that cause you irrational rage? :))
