  1. Is reading my favourite magazine again. MRJ no 58 (1992 ) devoted almost entirely to Chris Pendteton's masterpiece. North Shields, it even went on holiday to Spain with me about 15 years ago

      One of the enjoyable things about watching England is the unpredictability, one game they're woeful then they'll be brilliant in the next. Much more interesting than just seeing a victory procession every game as per some teams in their prime.

      Not as if they were woeful in Edinburgh either, just that Scotland played bloody well

      No doubt the bridge would be one way traffic to cater for the mass Brexidous.

      In view of what happened to the Severn railway bridge and what can be seen on the bridges of some ships transitting the Channel this does not strike me as a good idea.

      No, the Bank machines credit your account with the full amount - but you may now have given them another idea to make more money!

      Never seen one in a bank, local Nat West closed down last month. My bank says the limit is because of queues that formed when people were paying in lots of bags of coins, answer open another till there's always plenty of staff walking around with bits of paper in their hands looking busy.

      Can not do that down here, as they have closed all the banks in my local town, got to drive 21 miles to go into my back.

  16. Is it just me, or do other people have trouble opening a packet of biscuits using that little red strip ? I usually give up and use a knife.

      A knife is better anyway. Slice right through between the first and second biscuit, eat the first and second biscuit, then turn the piece of plastic the other way and re-insert it into the packet, it helps re-close and keep them fresh (for those of us for whom biscuits last long enough to need it!)...

    3. shortliner

      Slice right through, eat as required, and tip the rest into a suitable Lock & Lock box - they will stay perfectly

      fresh 8ntil eaten!

      Shame the first biscuit is usually broken. Perhaps they should leave it out....;)

      The real incident contained a bit less drama and about the same level of initial stupidity if memory serves.
