Can help you with no.3 - it's because Chener is fab!

Should they not have waited for you to come back to the car sans baby before fining you. God I hate these car parking fascists. Yes, they did try to fine us as you said, but they were perfectly pleasant about it when we showed them the baby as evidence ('Exhibit A - male infant - slightly smelly'). I agree it's a silly way of enforcing the policy, and said so at the time.

Why shame, prithee? We had a baby with us, whom we were carrying around the store in his car seat/baby lugging thing.

Where's the baby's-head-wetting going to happen? I'd love to pop in if I can.

Italian ice-cream sellers are another good tip for 'jolly'.

That's funny, because they do try to enforce the 'parental parking only' spaces. I know this because they once tried to fine me and Mr. Moos for using a parents' space on the grounds that we had no child seat in our car.

Plus it's right next door to his house so he's bound to be curious! Nice chap too.

Me too - and the new design looks good. I'm glad he didn't incorporate a 'tagging section' as was once suggested.

Hot foam? You're buying some left-of-field bras, Morag! I love flowers too Sue - can live without them, but buy them whenever I can.

Congratulations to Keef and Mrs Keef on the arrival of the Keefling (at last)! Lucky baby to have such lovely parents - welcome to the world, little one.

Banner for local rag last Friday reads "Swarm of Bees Terrify Local Shoppers". Am infuriated out of all proportion and stalk by the newsagent muttering Singular! Singular!

Finally a clue - now which Forumite is it again that likes to pinch other people's yellow duckies? Once you've worked that out, the culprit will be obvious. By the way, TedMax, the trick with Wombles is not to let them get wet. It's the wet ones that turn into the bad Wombles and start hurling litter about the place and making rude gestures at the cat.

Barry, it's wonderful to see someone engaging with passengers through the local forum and making such an effort to act on people's comments - thank you very much indeed. After the rubbish tidy-up a few weeks ago the station remained pretty litter-free for quite a while - a few cans and bottles have started creeping back, however. It would be great if your team could be responsive in dealing with these, as people seem to be more hesitant to litter a clean station, but once the littering has started, it escalates.

Congratulations, dear David - all those months of persistence have paid off. Well done you.

No-one over 30 should realy be thinking modern life is rubbish. Because if they'd lived more than a few hundred years ago they'd probably have been dead before they got to the age they are now. (my first attempt - 'they'd probably be dead by now'... er, yes Moos) And for those of you under 30 you'd probably be illiterate. And cold. And hungry. And diseased. Although at least you wouldn't have heard of call centres, so I do see Louisiana's point. Glass of wine, kick the cat and - ahhhhhh.

Shucks.

Has anyone got one of those 'no leaflets please' stickers, and if so does it work?

I'm not that big on trucks. Am I still allowed to watch Susan Boyle? We should perhaps factor in that I've sung in a choir, and I own some CDs. Oh, and some cassette tapes too.

*quaveringly* That was just mean, Brendan.

Oh no. Oh no. Someone's going to quote *Bob*'s post and then just put a smiley at the end of it to indicate just how amusing they found it. And then I will have to buy a set of new blood vessels.

Do we now need musical credentials to have an opinion on a television show? Behave, DavidMc.

Heavens, what AM I going to say next? And how did you know, Honaspookie?
