    If Tornado is really nostalgic for many of the things he has listed then I feel really sorry for him….I think he is confusing nostalgia with memories……;)

    We’ll soon be done here, chaps.

    I can feel it in my water.

    Leaving aside the posts immediately preceding yours, are you quite sure…..??;)

    When I was a kid we used to play a game of knocking on peoples’ doors and then running like the clappers before they could answer it.

    Still played today, but now it’s known as ‘Parcelforce’

    :D:D That was this morning’s laugh out loud!!:D

    Thats perfectly true Kev, but at least we can say, “We have lived” I wonder what “Nostalgic things”this modern generation will have ?.They will perhaps never know the tast of REAL fire toasted door stop slices of bread etc, WE CAN.

    But that’s the point, Linc. Nostalgia means yearning for the past. Everyone of every generation can enjoy nostalgia, if they chose. No doubt your grandfather and mine were nostalgic and there is no reason why your grandchildren and mine should not be nostalgic for this decade. We can only see things through our eyes not of those older or younger.

    I cannot truthfully say that I yearn for many of the things I remember and which have been mentioned in this thread, but some, amongst those I have mentioned I do yearn for.

    By the way there is always dripping from the beef we cook because the butcher is THE BEST in Kent!!:D

    Don’t know but I doubt things will grind to a complete halt on May 31st if the target isn’t reached.

    They’ve got £155,000 in the bank so that should at least last them a bit longer.

    All I’m doing is continuing with my small monthly standing order. Every little helps as they say. 🙂

    Indeed it does, Hurn, and sadly my coffers finally ran dry after a few years of helping. So now I only have spiritual help to offer……:( Fingers crossed for a lottery winner’s generosity!!

    The latest news-bytes email came through today. Worth a read.

    Yes, I saw it but it doesn’t really tell you the whole story, as Chox said earlier. Does everything stop on the last day of May, if they are still, say £80,000 short or does it stagger on until they can’t afford to fuel it?
