Bullet, with a post like that you should join the grey room!


(totally agree with you BTW...... apart from the 2 (almost) teenage sons, I have an (almost) teen daughter..now THAT is scary!!!)

I just had to go back and read your post NS, no worries, I don't use a cheque book..... my rant was about soemthing else, I was just letting off a little steam in here.......I'm better now!


Although on the subject of cheque books, I know when my father died and my mother took over the household accounts for the first time, she used cheques for practically everything, it meant that she had a good record of her spends and could trace stuff easily and keep the accounting in order easier..... I have managed to get her using a debit card now, but she has a little hard backed note book that she whips out at the check out to write things down...... or she gets into a pickle! (she's an old half blind lady, who for over 40 years had all such things done for her by my Dad....and NO I wouldn't like to get stuck behind her in a queue!)

But thanks for the pointless flattery..... first e-dub and now you...I could get used to this!!!

Of course, PC, the problem to which I was referring was strictly an American one...something that naturally wouldn't apply to a modern, intelligent, technologically savvy Englishwoman as yourself.  

Can you drop it round?  I'm going out in an hour or so.  Thanks! 

Well, I'm in a good mood most of the time.
