    Today’s gripe for me has been trying to arrange to meet a friend for lunch, involves a 50 minute train ride, and the date she has suggested is not scheduled for a rail strike, wonders will never cease!
     Double checked the timetable before confirming, only to find that there are rail works instead. My 50 minute journey is now nearly two hours each way, including having to transfer to a bus, and hang around at a no doubt cold and drafty station waiting for the connection. Looking for an alternative date.

    @Chris-P-Bacon, that is Bette Lynch from Coronation Street in an animal print outfit.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.


  • Hmmm 🤔




    You've lost me??
    Think Soap opera -  Ex pub landlady ?  The costume has no connection to the African continent tho - unless there is some weird hybrid animal none of us know about   If you were to ask her where she came from her answer would be Coronation Street   :D

    I know...I am Lancastrian.  :D
  • Just because someone is wearing an animal print it doesn’t necessarily indicate their ethnicity.

    @Dovefromabove, I totally agree with you.

    I think a worrying outcome of the lady in waiting debacle is the media speculation that this reflects badly on the prince of Wales. Heaven help us all if we are not judged on our own merits, but on the behaviour of our godparents.

    Hear, hear @Ergates. The media just love any opportunity to have a go at the royals and ferment suspicion and innuendo, it sells papers after all. I don't envy the royals at all, they didn't ask to be born into the job and it must be a nightmare walking the tightrope all the time.

    Just wait until Harry and Markles book come out.  It’ll make Lady Hussey look like a pussy cat.   The media will have a  field day.

    Press rumour has it that she was the one who upset Meghan with comments about skin colour.
