Good morning everyone

A bit of rain here yesterday evening but not amounting to much, it's quite sunny here and is warm.

Yogi, I think the rabbit had been hoping to find some lettuce in the bank not realising that the old £1 notes aren't around any more

I hope everyone has a good day

My middle son was in the bank today, when the automatic doors opened and a rabbit ran in.

 That’s quite remarkable 

I hope it ran out again as quick 

 The staff found a box to put it in and a customer took it to set it free

Good morning everyone.

A cloudy start to the day.

Got to catch up on housework in my own house today.

Have a good day, all

El, I have an old Scottish pound note 

Good morning everyone, a dry morning after quite a bit of rain yesterday evening, the lawns definitely needed it.  I wonder whether it was a pet rabbit or a wild rabbit?  I can't imagine a wild rabbit entering a building.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning sorry I didn’t get back here last night, I was tired from travelling & have a banging head ache after my treatment. I’ve been put back in to place and it’s a huge relief! Once the headache fades, i’ll feel amazing. 

How are you all yoday? 

Good morning everyone   

We had rain for about an hour last night 

It refreshed everything. It was cooler earlier but now starting to warm up a little.

Sweet, I hope your headache is better soon 

All is well with me fankoo 

Have a great day everyone  

Summer, I'm glad you've been straightened out and hope that you feel much better once the headache has gone

Moonie, your note could be quite valuable and worth 100
pence

Son said the chap who took it away was going to ask around to see if anyone had lost a pet rabbit, before releasing it.

Summer, I hope your headache has shifted

lol Moonie, MrY has an old Scottish pound note too. 

El, I like how the police came to the rescue for the bride 

The treasurer at my church has sometimes found Scottish bank notes in the collection, probably from someone who had been on holiday in Scotland

Good morning everyone, a mix of blue sky and cloud this morning, hardly a breeze stirring the air, still warm but not really sunny.

Enjoy your day everyone

You too Squiggle 

Good morning I’m baaaaaack!!!! Literally! Phew  

sunny but cooler here today, I’m going to throw open the windows and doors and catch up on some jobs. Then I’m taking my mum out shopping for a few bits for her new place, she’s doing well with her unpacking and has gone to get to know the local church today. I know she’ll be made very welcome there  

i hope you all have a lovely day too  

If any of you have Virgin Media television and are wondering why a lot of channels such as Dave and Drama have suddenly vanished overnight, it's because of a dispute between Virgin and UKTV:

Afternoon all 

Squiggle, your weather sounds better than mine, as it is cloudy, misty and very light rain up here.

Spent the morning at my parents’ doing housework for them. Now I need to get on with my own.

Summer, I’m glad your mum is settling in well and i’m sure she will be made very welcome at church.

El. MrY has already been on the phone to Virgin to voice our displeasure at the loss of UKTV channels - 10channels in all!

Apparently, negotiations are still ongoing.

Yogi, the strange thing is that quite a number of the channels which have gone from Virgin are ones which have been on Freeview for ages

Sweet, glad your mum’s unpacking is  going well 

Yogi and El, my Virgin Media tv, landline, broadband is up for renewal so I shall be going into negotiations too  

I haven’t really took a comprehensive look at what channels have gone yet. I have noticed the odd one though. 

Drama I used to like for the odd programme. 

Virgin changed my mobile contract. Was not pleased about that to much. I did manage to negotiate it down to less than it was before. They had given me 10gb  of data, more than twice as much as I used to have. So I told them I didn’t use the original amount. They changed it from 10gb to 5gb and took £3 pounds off the monthly total, so a result for me 

Afternoon troops  

Hope all are in fine fettle      I might have got this wrong reading between the lines but Sweet if your mum has relocated locally to you I think that's great   

These television providers always have an angle - one or two channels have disappeared off Sky too. Mainly +1's although Fox News going was no great loss. It's the age old model of reducing their costs whilst increasing yours.

Virgin v Sky comes down to who you support really. Branson's space programme or Murdoch's upkeep of Jerry Hall. 

Have a nice day everyone

 Seems Virgin wanted all the UKTV programmes for free and UKTV wanted Virgin to pay for UK Gold (which is not on Freeview). Virgin refused and they couldn’t reach an agreement, so UKTV have withdrawn all of their programmes from Virgin, including the free ones.

Well done on getting a better deal on your mobile contract 

BTW, 10 UKTV channels have gone, including Drama, Alibi, UK Gold, Really, W, Yesterday, Eden and Good Food

And I just stick with Freeview

I saw a trailer on BBC1 about the film "Florence Foster Jenkins" which they will be showing some time. (Meryl Streep/Hugh Grant) Biopic of an American heiress well known in the 1920s, 30s and into the 40s who had pretensions of being a great opera singer even though her singing was not good, and some even regarded her as the worst opera singer in the world.

I don't know if Orson Welles had her in mind in his film Citizen Kane. In the film, he virtually bullies Susan, one of his wives in it, to being an opera singer. This is the result:

Fine Yogi - you too  

The one channel that Sky removed that annoyed me was ITV London in amongst the regional terrestrial variations. Can you get that on Virgin?
