How long did I sit with this bliddy thing trying to do it !! :lol:
Never succeeded without cheating. :-
Catchy tunes somer …. for a rocker :lol:
Love these from this year. :D/
We’ve come full circle. Years ago most people had a reusable shopping bag or basket but then back then there weren’t the supermarkets there are today. Most people shopped daily.
It was a completely different way of living then.Yes I can see the logic behind charging for carrier bags in supermarkets because lets face it most of us bin em after one use.
Clothes etc are a different matter even M&S gave free carrier bags if you bought clothing home goods but ….. have been charging 5p for bags in the food hall for years.
Guess we just got to accept it haven’t we. :) :

ARC what do you mean by Sins of the Father and all that??
I dont like that saying for the following reasons:
If my dad was a Nazi – should i be responsible for his actions – Christ no.
If my dad was a rapist – should my brothers be put on a sex register list – Christ no.
Only the ignorant use the past for a reason to bring it forward, like Trapper said (in a other thread a while back) there are no racist children they only get that way by who has brought them up.
Many times a apple does fall from a tree, and therefore the sins of the Father are the Fathers sins – not their offspring.
Hence why i ask – what do you mean by sins of the Father and all that??
“Only the ignorant use the past for a reason to bring it forward, like Trapper said (in a other thread a while back) there are no racist children they only get that way by who has brought them up”.
There you go Lucy you answered your own question. Well in the original context of this thread anyway . :)
Hence the expression I used … ! the sins of the father. You seem to have taken it quite literally that I am referring to men … That is not the case . Children learn by example.
Where rapists etc comes into it I don’t know. That’s a whole different debate there.
C’mon as if I would suggest that because a man is a rapist his son would be. :shock:
Probably :lol:

As said before its there right to bare arms.What they need is a law on guns to be stored in a gun safe and not in a draw in the bedroom like some sex toy. Im pro gun had them for years but handed back my license a few years ago. Which brings me back to those who carry knifes in the uk.
You keep sex toys in a drawer in the bedroom ? :shock: :lol:Seriously though … you have a point about guns safes but that’s too sensible for those across the pond.
As for knives well that’s a whole different ball game but no less of an issue.
Shirley Temple ?
:lol:It’s bliddy awful but in a country that permits its citizens to bare arms it makes it easy for the nutters that pull the trigger causing devastation & mass loss of innocent lives.
Its got to be asked though … What the hell was an 11 yr old doing with a gun !!
Nearly 600 kids have lost their lives already this year ! That is a horrendous statistic.
Thank god the UK has stricter gun laws eh ?
As I have said before …. the sins of the father & all that !
We grew up thinking the Germans were horrible because of the war. Lets face it they were !!
We grew up with Love thy neighbour on the TV…. Chalky & Honky were terms of endearment & no offence was taken.
The Black & White Minstrels were prime time viewing on a Saturday evening.
Wars happen all over – yes help where we can but there is only so much that can be done realistically.
As adults we all form our own opinions on all manner of issues but most of us accept that our views aren’t always shared. That’s life :)
