That's probably a Wispa (sp) bar. Back in the 80s, I had a girlfriend from Billingham who told me about them, but I'd never seen them and told her she was making it up. Turns out the North East was the Wispa trial area in '81 and it wasn't launched nationally until '83, at which point I apologised to her. Fascinating stuff...

I spelt "Wispa" wrong.

It's not snowing

the denmark hill 0737 train came 4 mins late and 4 carriages short, the latter causing some fluster amongst passengers.

I cut a small section of my thumb nail & thumb tip off yesterday (with an axe)

[woodrot]

I was called regarding money I may still have owed by my bank for PPI.We had a nice chat, but as I have never taken out PPI, we were unable to agree on anything.

Letter from EQUINITI _? Saying I am owed some shares for some mystery holding. Yet another Scam!

[lizbells6]

Equiniti is a legit share registrar. You could google their contact details and give them a ring. It may be From something like an old building society account which got taken over by a bank and account holders were allocated bank shares. My sister just got some from when Abbey National was taken over by Santander ages ago.

I managed to locate some spare Rawlplugs from a nearby neighbour this evening so the towel heater is screwed to the wall and floor now.

Call me old fashioned but aren't neighbours always nearby? Unless you're in Alaska.

Mmm towel heater.

Wall and floor.

I bought a rather fetching door stop today. Brass, it was.

[Seabag]

Curry is haunting me somewhat

I'm stratagising my meeting, to include a fair amount of 'outdoor' discussion

[Dopamine1979]

I reheated a Sainsbury's rasperry jam donut in the microwave for a healthy breakfast (1 of my 5-a-day).

My tongue is now scalded in several locations.

[Otta]

Have had a cough for the last week. It's annoying.

He's like 400 yards away so for me that's nearby and I still regard him as a neighbour, though for some that may not qualify. But yeah I could have just said neighbour.

Sausages for dinner tonight.
