    Didn't see any.  Can't be doing with all the hype for people just doing their job and milking the publicity.

    I have a friend who went for a management trainee job at M&S at head office in Baker Street in the early 70s.  On the way back down the staff stairs afterwards there was a huge mirror on the wall opposite with a notice "This is how your customers see you".  She took a job elsewhere.

    I think it would be rather sad if they all wore the same as us.
    It is a show, I rather like the ridiculous outfits they wear.

    The necklace Lady Gaga wore was rather stunning. " Last worn by Audrey Hepburn in 1961"

    My GD didn't notice a mistake on her new baby's birth certificate and it's turning out to be a nightmare trying to get it corrected.  Feeling curmudgeonly on her behalf :(

    Name mistake or date?  Good luck with that.

    OH is flopped, watching BBC Parliament.  Says it's good theatre.  Really.

    What I want to know is why they call the forthcoming vote on Brexit "The Meaningful Vote".   Does this mean all other parliamentary business is not meaningful?

    It means that all the other votes on Brexit stuff are meaningless, because regardless of whatever the MPs vote for, the Government does what it wants

    Did they put her name down as A. Mistake? :o
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
