I went with the Coop  and jt was about  £60 cheaper than the year before.Whether it was just to get my business we will see  when its up for renewal.I did it on line by the way.

They are opening on the old Peugot Main Dealer site on Sheffield Road opposite the top of Pottery Lane.The sign is up over the building so it  should be quite soon.

I worked in Chetwynd House  from 1973 to 1991 when I took early retirement.I spent all of that time in Personnel and  for the last seven years in OMAG.
When the Post Office split the job I was doing was in Parcels  and I was transferred to Parcelforce where I remained until I finished.

The hatred that Macron  has for us is shown  with the  Brexit negotations  if it was my decision I would not give one euro.

The Dunston is part pub and part shop as is the Cricketers.From what I have seen neither of them does very much.

Does anybody have the same problems as we do.Today between 10.00am and  14.00 hrs  we received 7 calls.I have given up picking up because most of them are part of this ringing lots of people system at the same time and quickly goes dead if you pick up.
I thought recent legislation had banned these pest firms but obviously not.

Some months ago I left some small batteries in  a plastic  bag  tied to my blue bin  for recycling.When the binmen  came  one of them ripped the bag off the bin and just threw them straight into the bin.I rang the council and told them and they said they should be handed to the driver.I left it at that.
Today when they came I had some glass bottles  which I duly left in the insert provide on the pavement next to my blue bin.One of them promptly tipped them into my bin and then they were tipped into the waggon with all the rest.There is a blue bin attached to the waggon which all glass should  go into.I rang the council and they confirmed i  had  acted correctly.She promised to inform her manager. JI am a avid recycler but it makes you wonder whether its worth it.         

I think that on the Horns Bridge Roundabout the biggest recipe for trouble is the road coming from the M1.There are many drivers who take the lane with the least number of cars in it wherever they are going.You have only got to watch them swapping lanes  as they approach it.Pure madness.

With regard to lane driving  on the M1 the other week I got on at J29 going south and this car was in lane 3 when it was not very busy.I built up was no doubt that it was on cruise control and was not going to move at any cost.Trouble is there are very motorway cars to apprehend people like that.
