I'm being encouraged to install some "Victorian plumbing", are they saying I need a bath?

Apparently, it would be a good idea if I was to use an outdoor, self-service laundry facility, located at a petrol station in Maidstone. It seems a long way to go, when there is an identical one half a mile away here, next to the prison.

What has Plenty O' Fish UK got that I can't get from Parkers on Mill Street. Although the shop girl in the ad looks nice.

The last two times I went in to Parkers they had hardly any choice, it was very disappointing. I'll give them one more try but if things aren't markedly improved, they are going to lose a 20+ years customer.

Indeed.

There's something fishy going on.

eBay thinks I might want to buy equine fly masks - even if I did have a horse, I would expect the problem to be fairly slight at this time of the year.

I am being bombarded with offers of furniture of all types and sizes.

This is presumably as a result of an email discussion with someone about disposing of some furniture in a house that he has sold..

They seem to have failed to grasp that there is an over-sufficiency issue, rather than a deficit that needs filling.

Amazon says that I should not " forget to check out Last Minute Christmas Deals"

This is the main suggestion - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XL38...ok-21&ascsubtag=pfb-P06-V01-I-O3-TB-LO-VCAF2K - They seem to be anticipating that I might drop a few crumbs from the Christmas cake...

I've just had an ad from the Ordnance Survey telling me to "Make the most of the dry weather".

Are they in league with the Met Office with regard to their accuracy, I wonder?

To be fair(?), I did do a few outside jobs, taking account of gaps in the weather, so maybe they're right?

Halfords tell me that "We demo your car seat for free".

I managed to cope on my own and I don't adjust it very often anyway.

Someone is offering to pull your levers and twiddle your nobs.

For free!

There's gratitude for you...

I talked with @The Stafford Beast on Facebook about the TV aerial on a house where he lived four years ago, as the new resident was struggling to get a decent Freeview reception. I am now being hammered with offers of TV aerial products and services. I have not had a television since 1983.

I have had a friend request on Facebook from a local barber's shop.

I last had my hair cut* on 9/8/1976 and was last in a barber's shop whilst Nixon was still in office.




* By a friend's trainee hairdresser sister.

* Apart from making the odd emergency paintbrush.

Apparently, I can get a free Kärcher window vacuum for every five 8' x 4' equestrian training arena mirrors that I have installed here - I'm just off to clear some wall space, though I think a couple will have to go on ceilings...
