Gardeners World hit an all time low tonight.

One thing I truly hate is when another platform is hijacked by someone else to promote their own agenda - that happened on GW tonight. I'm sure we all tuned in to watch gardening stuff, only to watch a segment about Drag Queens which went on to promote the issue and say how good it all was, bringing on his Mum and colleagues to say how wonderful a guy he was and how amazing he was in drag. It ended by him saying, "If you don't like drag what are you doing watching a flower show?"

Who is he to decide? I'm sure many don't want to watch drag ... or we'd have tuned into RuPaul.

Totally agree Renton ….I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve gone off it ….too little actually gardening and Monty …too much concentration on things like those you’ve mentioned above , and long, boring segments dedicated to just one plant !

POST OFFICE - as if they need any more bad publicity - this time double standards

Apparently you can pay into any bank account with your card and pin - went yesterday and a young fellow was most helpful letting me pay in quite a bit. Today another staff started questioning me, where did I get all that money, it's to do with money laundering, they're not a bank handling transactions for other accounts and on and on.

My thought - they either provide that service or they don't - one staff was more than happy - the other staff utterly reluctant. No wonder this country is going to the dogs!!

Wow Renton How many millions were you trying to pay in .Seriously , it seems strange that they question you paying in …did you remember to take the stocking mask off?

Back online after Virgin stopped me old router signalling last night then sent me a text at 7am to tell me it's time to connect my new one!!!

Luckily connection was a doddle - and they gave me a little tool to aid with the task!

Glad you’re connected again Renton I had to do the same thing when I moved to sky last year….it wasn’t nearly as scary as I thought it might be .

Nationwide Building Society

"At Nationwide, our branches are important to us. They’re at the heart of your Society and we know you value the face-to-face service they offer. But it’s more than that. We were founded by like-minded people coming together to help each other to save and buy homes of their own. They built communities together and our branches were a vital part of those communities. As they still are."

. . . and that's why they closed their Gosforth branch in Sept 2021

Spent 3 hours in A&E last night (left at 1.30am) - manned by stripped-to-the-bone staffing who couldn't have cared unless you were dying.

Mum crying and shouting in pain (wrist/arthritis flare up), "There's a 6 hour wait"

Cue a woman asking for help, "I have a heart condition and been suffering palpitations, my GP said to come up immediately"

Answer? "There's a six hour wait - take a seat". We left after 3 hours and all we got was some basic pain killers.
