A new week - no posh link to last week's thread I'm afraid, but then again, it may not be worth the aggravation! :-)
Come on folks, lets remember a democratic vote was taken and not take things too much to heart.
There is nothing to forgive, everyone has a chance to share their concerns etc.
HeatherB and Lindy don't dessert us we love your banter.
Sometimes I ramble on with my feelings about this and that and you all take it in your stride - thanks. That is the comararderie (I've probably spelt that wrong) of this site. All and everything in moderation with good manners and respecting all opinions.

Agree OG.
Lindy - we do hope and wish you well. Sorry to hear that you have been quite poorly. Get better soon and come back to us.
Clare - love that picture of the puffin. We went to Bempton Cliffs and year or two back but caught it at the wrong time of the year so only a few birds were there. Quite an impressive place.
Dibnib - I hate football too but OH watched the match and he said they played badly and didn't seem to gel as a team.
Love what was posted by a friend.
Keith - its always hard to say goodbye to a loved one. How wonderful to find out just what your brother had been up to in helping so many people. Just keep looking forward to your break in Scotland.
May I just reiterate that I love reading all about your news even if I don't always answer or have anything to post myself. Its a lovely way to express how we feel.
Always love a real ale myself, tried two at our beer festival at the weekend, one not so nice but one I could drink all the time. Thankfully its not often I get a chance to drink a real ale.
OH dear, just looked at my replies and I've taken nearly a whole page up - tut, tut.
Anyway, love to you all and keep that news coming.
{{{HUGS}}} to Margo.

Clare - Love your puffin pic. In 2005 on a day trip to John o’Groats we visited the puffin cliffs. It was a poor year – I managed a glimpse of a single puffin, I think the others saw two.
Annette – “The sky’s the limit.” Does that mean I’m going to develop wings?
Lynette – After last knee I went to Physio for 3 months, fortnightly. Ever since I have tried to do knee exercises 2-3 times a week for sake of the knee that “wasn’t bad enough yet”. I can’t swim, so that option is out. I tried to learn in my 20s. I made a very good copy of a submarine.
Thank goodness for cordless phone (which is almost attached to me these days). I settled down last eve to watch the best offering on TV – a repeat, alas – railway journey in Russia. Phone rings, it’s an automated message from Prime Minister, clunk. Five mins later “This is just a brief survey . .”, clunk. I shall be glad when our election is over.
Keith G: I'm so very sorry for your loss.
AQ: I thought it might brighten your day to see an old church, since you can't take any bus tours quite yet. This is a tiny chapel here in central Indiana, built by Italian prisoners of war (WWll) in 1943. Chapel inside. Chapel outside.Take care, everyone.
KeithG: Do hope the very worst is behind you, but how nice for you to hear how popular your brother was. Will you have to make more trips to his house to clear things out? Hope the probate process doesn't drag on too awfully long...
SheilaFE: Good to see you.
dibnlib: Lossiemouth looks like it has some lovely beaches.
Lynette: Thanks for a nice series of posts!
AQ: Hmmm - just don't take any running jumps of the door step. Do you have caller ID? It helps to an extent, but marketers are getting very clever about hiding behind local numbers... No calls here yet from Hillary! :-)
Diane: That is so interesting about the Italian POWs. I visited a German POW center somewhere near Lordsburg in New Mexico. I didn't realize there were so many around the country and always thought it was such a long way to bring prisoners; still, no change of escaping and sneaking back home. I know many Italians POW stayed in the UK after the war; now I'm wondering how many stayed here.
Take care all.
