Have some Hope & Greenwood Easter eggs that I'd bought for my nieces and I've now been blown out.


Rather than let them go to waste, I thought I'd give them to the children's ward at the hospital and, while I know it's not that far away, I am quite lazy, so wondered if anyone else was heading in that direction and would consider taking them?


Know this should really be in the Wanted section but figured people would see it quicker here, and as time is of the essence...

Gosh. Well, that's one way of looking at it.


As distinct from - for example - just chucking unwanted stuff in the bin?


I'd agree there's a scale of things, let's say


- 1) funding new wing of King's

- 2) buying ?100/worth of eggs - especially if it's a brand you really, really like yourself, for extra sacrifice points - and walking them through the snow to King's. From Edinburgh.

- 3) pausing for a minute to think - hey, I don't want these rather nice eggs, but I wonder whether some kids might.

- 4) just chucking unwanted stuff in the bin.


I'd say normal selfish human behaviour is more 4) and RosieH did a nice thing. Living in a glass house, as I do, I prefer not to throw stones at others. You?

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
