I probably shouldn't laugh at this, but some train driver's rather batty mum gets interviewed by the local rag for reasons I can't quite comprehend. Obviously an extraordinarily slow news day in Hertfordshire.


He's going to cop a hell of a ribbing if the boys at the depot work out who he is...

At the theatre the security guard was checking the contents of my bag thoroughly (middle-aged women being a suspect demographic). She suddenly stopped, gave me a funny look, pointed at the bottom of the bag and said, 'What's that?' I'd forgotten the large courgette wrapped in a plastic bag. Mortified.

"Is that a courgette in your bag madam? Well, it seems to be buzzing with excitement at seeing the play."

Those Aussies. Thinking of becoming a Republic again but still insist on using the Queen's English, which us Irish obviously fail miserably at........

A picture in the property section of this month's Living South, entitled:


"Presidents Quay House, prices from ?1,799,999"


Now I can understand somebody being taken in by something priced at, say, ?17.99 and thinking that sounds much cheaper than ?18.


But if you are looking at houses around the ?1,800,000 mark, is the pound difference of ?1,799,999 really going to tip the balance?

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
