You'd be surprised.

When a door's stuck on a cheap washing machine (like yours) I'd recite this poem. The Tay Bridge Disaster Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv?ry Tay! Alas! I am very sorry to say That ninety lives have been taken away On the last Sabbath day of 1879, Which will be remember?d for a very long time. ?Twas about seven o?clock at night, And the wind it blew with all its might, And the rain came pouring down, And the dark clouds seem?d to frown, And the Demon of the air seem?d to say- ?I?ll blow down the Bridge of Tay.? When the train left Edinburgh The passengers? hearts were light and felt no sorrow, But Boreas blew a terrific gale, Which made their hearts for to quail, And many of the passengers with fear did say- ?I hope God will send us safe across the Bridge of Tay.? But when the train came near to Wormit Bay, Boreas he did loud and angry bray, And shook the central girders of the Bridge of Tay On the last Sabbath day of 1879, Which will be remember?d for a very long time. So the train sped on with all its might, And Bonnie Dundee soon hove in sight, And the passengers? hearts felt light, Thinking they would enjoy themselves on the New Year, With their friends at home they lov?d most dear, And wish them all a happy New Year. So the train mov?d slowly along the Bridge of Tay, Until it was about midway, Then the central girders with a crash gave way, And down went the train and passengers into the Tay! The Storm Fiend did loudly bray, Because ninety lives had been taken away, On the last Sabbath day of 1879, Which will be remember?d for a very long time. As soon as the catastrophe came to be known The alarm from mouth to mouth was blown, And the cry rang out all o?er the town, Good Heavens! the Tay Bridge is blown down, And a passenger train from Edinburgh, Which fill?d all the peoples hearts with sorrow, And made them for to turn pale, Because none of the passengers were sav?d to tell the tale How the disaster happen?d on the last Sabbath day of 1879, Which will be remember?d for a very long time. It must have been an awful sight, To witness in the dusky moonlight, While the Storm Fiend did laugh, and angry did bray, Along the Railway Bridge of the Silv?ry Tay, Oh! ill-fated Bridge of the Silv?ry Tay, I must now conclude my lay By telling the world fearlessly without the least dismay, That your central girders would not have given way, At least many sensible men do say, Had they been supported on each side with buttresses, At least many sensible men confesses, For the stronger we our houses do build, The less chance we have of being killed. It achieves absolutely nothing & yes the door's still stuck. But it does put some perspective on it. I mean Imagine how the poor people felt when plunging into the " Silv?ry Tay" Now get on the phone to an engineer. NETTE:-S

Erm.... I'm way-way down with the Lidl thang. However, this is not the Sydenham branch you speak of. The place that's more a branch of social services than supermarket, where people walk round in two left shoes stolen from the rack outside of Stead & Simpsons. A day release venue for the Maudsley. >thronging with amazed middle class folk< Obviously their coach departs just as I arrive, leaving only the lightest wiff of "Gorgio" hanging in the air.

Don't be a silly ibilly We all know any savings made gets spent on more expensive alcohol. That is a no brainer. NETTE:-S

This thread is starting to sound a litte bit Monty Python ( in a good way:) ) The four Yorkshiremen sketch I'm self-employed, ergo I live in a bubble all of my own creation but i've definitely given up counting hours worked. Anyway must go, work to do. * chooses job of the day hat * And remember, Martyrs are y'know "dead people" Love & Peace NETTE:))

I like to make the best of things. And i've always eaten the ugly-cuts, organs & throw away bits of a beast. So being 'Thrifty' has become a game of sorts. I like to see what I can make of things that are in abundance or free. Afterall, in the coming years it's going to get tougher, so making, mending & creative economy is the way forward for many of us I think. If you have spotted any particularly spectacular bargains or come up with a neat idea, then do please share. In The Legendary Penge Food Centre Pineapples are literally piled high and cheap. So, it's chutney pan-a-go-go next week here at Curtain Towers & i've half a pig coming from my farmer friend on the 12th. A little "trading" is always welcome. NETTE:)

How can anyone insulated by such vast private wealth, prescribe how those on the breadline live. Much like a dentist running a sweetshop, whilst chewing sweets, tell customers to stop chewing sweets & still take their money. It stinks. NETTE:-S Ps.My teeth hurt thinking about it!

Ah... *taps nose* :-$

Isn't toner supposed to tighten the skin ( ha-if only) Jeez i'd bathe in it if it did. Oh and more topically. So,George Osborne's had voice coaching has he. Ask for a refund if I were him, his 'speeeeeetch' (i'm pinching my nose here) get me all asthmatic. In short, i'm not taht (sic) bothered about the economy. Much like Moos isn't that bothered about Christmas lunch;-) *cries into cornflakes* NETTE:X
