Skill points and a big thanks to the forums @Sbisme for supplying me with his locally produced delicious honey for my breakfast porridge . Looking forwards to buying many more jars when his bees start producing honey again in a few months time :)

I did consider getting a picture of the car today, but it was a bit grubby from the state of the roads and I felt that he might not approve - I'll catch it on a better day.

It's a lovely motor. Didn't he have something else unusual and interesting before that?

JB Carpets on Greyfriars - in the 'elevated' shops opposite the old dole office - top people.

New stair carpet - quality item - tremendous price - fitted very neatly, almost immediately and with less than no fuss - always worth a look to see if they can do what you want.

Skill points to the very helpful bloke (dark haired one) in Sportdirect.com this afternoon. First time I've ever found anyone in there any good, but came out smiling for a change with 3 new comfy pair of trainers after his attention and recommendations .

Skill as ever to FMS. My old motorhome went in for some work. When I took it there it was on fumes, it managed to judder to a halt at the gates to their carpark. FMS went and got me some diesel from the garage and got me back on the road.

Impressed with Boots opticians. Not had a check up in 2 years, and not used them since they were D&A. Was expecting the hard sell like I last had at specsavers where they tell you that you need new ones and are reluctant to hand over the prescription in case you go elsewhere. But no, they said my glasses are fine and I only need to replace them if I want a different style. They checked the prescription of the current ones, and I later showed them what my last prescription was, and all matched. They were just a cheap pair I got from speckyfoureyes that were meant to be emergency ones but I preferred them.

Still can't see perfectly as such but that appears to be muscular.

3 weeks ago had a sight test at Vision Express. Decided to go with contact lenses. They said they will order trial pair. Chased up twice and still nothing. Cutting my losses and returning to Specsavers.

Not Lidl's fault specifically, but massive cuffy to the Muslim lady who not only picked up fresh cakes from the display tray using her fingers instead of tongs, but who then proceeded to remove extra nuts from the remaining pastries and drop them in to her bag. In the process of doing this she handled almost every remaining cake. Dirty dirty woman. I did confront her about what she was doing and how disgusting it was. Food hygeine had clearly escaped her.

Spoke to the cashier and she said it was a common occurrance for customers not to use tongs. Avoid the open pasty/bread section in Lidl is my advice. Plus, someone might have sneezed all over it :(

I'm wondering why you felt her religious belief (which you could tell presumably by the items in her shopping basket?) had anything to do with the fact that she was handling food others might want to buy?
Your point could have been made without any reference to her presumed faith.

Could, perhaps, even be a Baha'i, Yazidi, etc.

Did she leave any teeth marks in a Danish pastry, as a search of the towns dental records, may help publicly out the culprit.

When I say Danish pastry it may have come from another Scandanavian country.

Recommendation for Jewson Hire dept from me. Very impressed on all counts especially helpfulness, friendliness and price. The opposite of what I got when I went to Traction Hire in fact.

In amsterdam you can't touch the bread, you use a long spoon type thing that you manoeuvre through a hole in the front of the perspex case to flip the desired baked goods out the side where you can retrieve them.
