Ian is supportive of my theatre commitments - he actually is a steward on the Front of House team - and my church attendance. In return, I encourage his interest in racing and model railways. In fact, before heading for the spectators’ gallery, I told him he could spend as long as he wished browsing the exhibits. It gave me the chance to rest my arthritic joints.

A girl has to take a break from her public sometimes. As for flogging ..... dead horse springs to mind.

A friend of mine named Pat became so bored with the number of guys who thought they were being original and amusing by asking if they could, that she had her badge changed to say Patricia.

Totally agree, Pete! And much to his surprise (and mine!) Ian enjoyed the parts of the ceremony he watched, especially the highlights you’ve identified. I was very proud to see a past pupil of mine singing with The Kingdom Singers.

Ian and I are very happy with our experience of shopping in Lidl on both sides of the Channel. In Torquay, the branch has the biggest turnover of any branch in the UK. As I often visit the store early in the morning I witness the shelf stacking by the employees, who all seem very good humoured, and the oversight of the plans for the day being shared by the Manager with other members of staff. All seem to have a sense of purpose and the check out cashiers are also polite and friendly. Good products, fair prices and a motivated workforce appear to be a recipe for success.

My daughter is a DH at a school in Staffordshire where recently they organised a day for Y6 children from half a dozen schools to meet for various activities. A few months ago Tesco agreed to supply a bag of “goodies” for each participant. By the preceding week, none had been delivered so my daughter spent much time being passed from one member of staff to another without satisfaction and as the event was last Monday, this encroached on her weekend, too. At the eleventh hour, Tesco delivered the items but not all to the right school. Only when my daughter suggested that adverse publicity could result if they didn’t fulfill their commitment, did the wheels get put into motion.
