   Check it out for sure Paul. See how much he is willing to pay someone to live there.

   Can only speak for myself - it’s not a case of holding them accountable after the event. I vote for them to be responsible to detect and do their best to prevent the event in the first place.

   @ jen355. Nothing is easier than sitting on your bum and hoping that all the bad things will happen to someone else. It’s like public transport; it’s the sort of thing people want to see improved so other people will use it.

   Claire, you are being handed a bunch of euphemisms.

   Oh Claire, how clearly I remember someone saying a similar thing to me as woman to man. Lost for words as you are, I missed the opportunity of a lifetime for an affair worthy of a movie script.

   @ furnituremaker. No, but if you whistle the melody I might remember the tune.

   Must have been a terrific party last night cdward!

   Your head may feel like mush but that’s better than having it look like mush, viz. the Wicked Witch. Wouldn’t you just like to drop a big bunger into that bouffant unmentionable if it was in front of you at the movies. Best I ever achieved as a kid was putting popcorn on one. By the time I had worked out how bring honey to drip on one they became unfashionable.

   @ quantumtorpedo1. Yes, wish they could resist commenting on what I buy, just as I refrain from commenting on the poor choice of groceries of the person in front of me. There is also the extraordinary interest the checkout people display in our state of health by asking how we are. Perhaps we should be more tolerant, how they stand about 10,000 blips a day from the bar code reader is beyond me. Why can’t supermarkets have two stations at each checkout, one to read the bar code and the second to simply sense if an item has been passed over it. If the code scan hasn’t worked THEN the machine could make a blip.

    My supermarket has a ‘rewards card’. Reward for what, letting Big Bro know what I buy and where and when? Went to a different one of their stores last week and sure enough, along comes an emailed questionnaire asking whether I enjoyed the experience and what could they do to make it even more enjoyable. The reply was to instruct checkout personnel who are 1/3 of my age not to tell me when and how to swipe my card and enter the PIN. Oh yes, the reward is apparently getting a discount off fuel at a specified service station. Scheme has been going for years now but the discount in cents is the same as when fuel cost 30% less.
