I normally find local news I'm interested in on fromthemurkydepths.
And, of course, diamondgeezer, who's a part of my daily routine in the morning

Well that's reminded me to book my appointment..
They've sent me numerous letters and text messages that my test is due over the past few months...


Now what did I have to do again?

I suppose it allows them to do an “*excludes Local stores” on adverts if they’re only running an offer in full stores. I don’t think there’s any supermarket with a blanket brand for all stores is there? Not quite a blanket brand but I do think all M&S Simply Foods are just called Simply Foods r...

As unsatisfactory PC may be at times, they've always tolerated my ramblings so I'm grateful for that.. Will admit I've no idea what's gone on behind the scenes or any drama. However for me, I find it much better having just the one forum than the hodgepodge of different forums we had at one time, ev...
