We have had bus passes for a good while, but haven't really used them. Our overpaid and underworked council executives have purchased most of the town centre with low interest loans. Interest rates have increased, the council has now gone bust and the officials retired early.....Those that are left have decided that increasing rents will bring in more cash.....wrong as the shops just move out.....increasing parking charges will bring in more cash....wrong, we now use our bus passes. Eventually we will need to buy more stuff on line, or drive to an out if town shopping centre.

We don't do online banking, but handle investments online. What can we help you with today Sir ?. I want to pay this bill at the counter. ...you can do that at the machine Sir....If everybody did that you wouldn't have a job would you. On Friday we like to pop into town, pay the odd bill and get some cash, have a wander around the shops and get some lunch. With Online banking, Shopping and deliveryooo, we could stay at home. We could watch all the travel videos and not bother going on holiday. Use it or lose it.

It's for revenue. ULEZ in London ( coming to an area near you soon ). Cut pollution. You can only polute if you pay £12.50 a day.

DW only has caffeine free drinks. On our checklist. Tickets Money Passports Teabags. 🤣

When we want a takeaway we go and get it. We go to the supermarket to get our shopping . Folk complain about all those empty shops and the death of the high St, but have everything delivered by some van, or moped.

They are taking over the world. Lunatics with L plates delivering your takeaway. Put some speed things in the road to break a cars springs. The mopeds just swerve around them. " Think bike ", yeah right. Car drivers are just cash cows.

I like a good who dunit. I will now be disappointed if Gervase is not on our next cruise.😊

Many years ago I read a report. It suggested that in altercations between pedestrians and cars, the pedestrian was affected more than the cars. Since then I have tried to avoid walking in front of cars.

It's coming back.

Dangerous things those cars. Perhaps they could all drive at walking pace. A chap walking in front waving a red flag would help.

We purchased a box of heroes for Christmas. Yum, yum.. 🤣

Old men taking photos of kids may find themselves in big trouble nowadays.

Perhaps tiddles only likes kitty kat.🤣

Folk are quick to judge, often with nothing to go on but their own prejudices. Children enjoying themselves on holiday. They must come from Broken homes and be working class.🤣

We had a great time...Best not go into too much detail.

All getting a bit predictable really.🤣

I went with my friends in 1970. Exchange controls limited our expenditure to £49 for 2 weeks. Calella was great and it had a Wimpy bar.🤣

Some folk seem to get all the bad luck. Children in the pools, folk drinking in bars. In all our cruises we have never experienced any these things. I am more interested in avoiding the person on their mobility scooter....out me way...coming through. At the very least they could put their baseball cap on the right way round in the MDR.🤣

Exactly. Not really a problem.

We try and avoid the School holidays, but will now avoid the adults only ships. Getting knocked over by folk filling in their complaint and claims forms whilst moaning about everything doesn't sound much fun.

Just be aware that this thread is now on the Google news feed. Bye.

Oh yeah. Silly me.🤔

I'm sure I recently had scrambled egg with smoked salmon, but perhaps I am reminiscing.

Yes, a very welcome return, but we are a bit cheated. There should be a backlog of Greggs, or McCafe pictures, or perhaps a few shots of Graham's feet enjoying Benalmadena.🤣

Perhaps they send the butler down....Parker, go and save some sunbeds before the oiks wake up.
