Cheap

Not for me.

Sorry Tesco.

Duty called

No serious or non serious posts tonight. A mission of mercy instead.

I received a call from my 92 year old Mother in law asking for help. She’d fallen over in her kitchen of her sheltered accommodation and couldn’t get up. (It was while she was trying to open a bottle of wine!).

So I leapt into the FEmobile  and sped to the rescue. Luckily she hadn’t sustained any injuries and just needed help to get her off the floor and into her chair.

Anyhoo I finished cooking her half made dinner, poured her wine , and am now back home.

Some of us do care about the elderly in our society.

I wonder if my kids will do the same.

A letter doing the rounds at the moment.

All that glitters……………..

I, Pencil.

A simple explanation of how the free market works.

In 1958, Leonard E. Read published the essay I, Pencil, as a way to explain how the free market system and how voluntary interactions around the world contribute to the manufacture of the simple pencil.

Never thought about it that way, did you?

My history. Oh No.

I shall have to get one of these before I die.

After all the way the government is going with it’s obsession with trying to snoop on our online activities they’ll probably confiscate my computer to try and convict me of something and fine my estate just to get more money out of me..

Unemployment hits new group of workers.

Topical eh?

Lunch

Mmmmm?

Seen sense at last then?

Another hospital that has realised that the ban on smoking in the grounds is unenforceable. This time it is mine that has seen sense.

SMOKING and hospitals are unavoidably intertwined.

Yet people lighting up outside Tunbridge Wells Hospital sends a hypocritical message and leaves local NHS bosses in an awkward position.

Who would begrudge a dying man a cigarette that will do him no more harm?

Or can we really expect patients to trudge 10 minutes through the car park until they are on public land before lighting up?

That is part of an article penned in my local paper. I wonder if the reporter is a smoker? Though I don’t think he/she realises that trying to stop people in the open air on their grounds is unenforceable in law anyway. It’s not enclosed and is public land.

It looks like the hospital trust have realised that.

This may take some time to remove.

A testing time indeed.

Help is at hand

Lock them up

I suppose this may be the next stage of the game in the endless war of the Anti-smokers against the twenty percent of us who partake of a perfectly legal product.
