I grant you Syd, money doesn't make everyone happy, but a decent living does, and this government doesn't provide those young people with one 

Lack of employment because of  'progress'  has a lot to do with unemployment....

We are asked to read our own meters or get a smart reader, put our own shopping through the tills...one postal service a day, ride a train without a driver, shop online without an assistant.......I could go on.....

And it's this government that wants to get us to do all that   They really don't care about the 'normal' worker 

'Progress' and 'money makers', people sitting around board tables, the 'Government' just have to sort out the problems 'of the times' and try to keep people 'sweet'......  

It's not working Sydlers 

I wonder how many people will be in 'real jobs' ten years from now when robots have taken over from us?   It seems to me a lot of us will have a lot of time on our hands but the government will still want us to seek work to stop us claiming Unemployment Benefit

It is about time we started to 'blame' the 'robots', and maybe think of the humans before condemning or picking a political party.....I would rather a milkman than dragging plastic cartons of milk from the supermarket......WHO killed Ernie?

Nite nite Sprout.....xxx

Anyone like Holby, on a Tuesday night? 

Me, but we get it much later in Scotland (close to nidnight, or even later!) so I quite often end up watching it on the iPlayer.

Off until next week, they said, to make way for Autumnwatch. Something else too I think.

Cold Feet is finished.   I'm bereft.    

I didn't watch it when it when it was first on so I watched all five series in the few weeks before the new one started, then saved that up and watched the first seven episodes in the past week before tonight's finale.    

My life now has no purpose....

I know what you mean Kaffers ... I haven't felt this way since Peaky Blinders finished

I have recently been  watching all the reruns of Peak Practice (I just love Gary Mavers : , and have saved the recordings of last few episodes cos I just don't want it to end !!

I've really got into 'saving' telly now - I love watching whole series now.    I'm considering doing all of Greys Anatomy because I missed a few of the early seasons, but that's a pretty huge commitment!

I really enjoyed the original series when it first ran and was looking forward to the new series. Unfortunately, after about three episodes I stopped watching, I thought it lacked something, yes the original characters were there albeit a little older, but I did not find any of the story lines at all compelling. Such a shame, but I think it was a bit of a damp squib. 

Now on More4, practice 2 live for the Mexican GP.

I am just watching a programme on Channel 4 called My Trans American Road Trip. They missed a trick to carry on the clever theme, the presenter is driving a Mustang not a Trans-Am.

I love Alistair Campbell for sharing how it can be.

I watched it on Catch Up.

Well done to everyone who took part for sharing so poignantly and honestly, how mental illness affected them. 

Don't know who else is interested, but a new series of "Dave Gorman: Modern Life is Goodish" starts at 10pm on Dave tonight.

Dave himself was doing live links during the ad breaks (and using them to read out live tweets), and he ended by saying "Let's hope America is still there in the morning. "

I have caught one or two of the Dave Gorman MLiG and liked them, especially the one about his wife and washing machine tablets. Although I do forget they are on as I rarely watch Dave.

Trump's New America - Panorama

OMG some of this is quite shocking. Just adds to my disbelief that Trump actually won the election.

You're a glutton for punishment Syd  

the crown on netflix is good

Just watching a very interesting programme called The Secret History of our Streets: Camberwell Grove. On BBC Four. 

It's fascinating looking back at the older maps of London and how Camberwell was a small village and people lived there and commuted to London.
