Will there be balloons again today Super?
You at HQ for mother's day lunch GJ?
I'm just off past, 'your lane end,' to visit elderly aunt and take flowers to the cemetery for my Mum. Will give you a wave
Always smile to myself when I pass the pub named after the famous stamp. Many years ago, when it first opened, my Dad went in for a few pints. Some while later there was a hoo hah about an important letter he insisted he'd posted that hadn't reached it's destination. Cue much criticism of Royal Mail..... the post mortem revealed that he's only posted the ruddy thing in the novelty post-box in the pub!

Yes! There aren't many pubs named "1d scarlet with inverted watermark."  Last week as I passed your lane end there was a hot air balloon floating in your general direction, I wondered if it was the start of something new? Obviously not!

Ok, time for the bread story: Dad goes to the local 'mini-market' to buy a loaf of bread, comes home, pops it on the kitchen worktop, then goes off to do a little job... in comes mum and for some reason best known to herself, takes the fresh loaf, pops it in the freezer and takes another loaf out of the freezer and puts it on the worktop to defrost. Shortly afterwards, Dad returns to make himself a sandwich and discovers the bread to be, 'rock hard,' so returns to the shop to complain about the stale loaf he has just bought! Manager insists that he didn't buy it there, Dad insists that he did and he gets more and more angry that they won't exchange the 'stale' loaf. The manager points out that the wrapper has a Marks and Spencer label on it and Dad says," I don't give a bugger what's on the label I bought it here just half an hour ago."  Dad then threatens to steal a loaf from the shelf and then storms out in a furious state saying he will never shop there again and will tell all of the neighbours to boycott them too! ...He returns home to share his outrage with mum who tells him what happened Give him his due, bless him , he did go straight back to the shop to apologise
