Thanks for your thoughts, Stephen and Uilleam. And for the mentality of those who watch it, Uilleam.
My secret beef is that although Our Gert is satisfied with ours, it makes me poorly to see what all the blokes are packing.
And thanks for the Like, Red Brick.

A Bullworker eh! Remember mine well.

Everyone in our village had a 'book' too. Paid for religiously on Saturday mornings when dad had been paid. Groceries delivered in a soap powder box and left in the outside toilet. Internet shopping deliveries (bah!) nothing new!

Late to the plate sorry folks.

I'm deloited that you loiked me poem (phonetically speaking).
Thanks Reggies Ghost, oim glad it worked for it.

Graham, I can't see Clarkson and Pam bonding somehow. An irksome presence.

Mark, Bourton is seething nowadays with foreigners pointing incredulously at the common swans! Still it's money in the bank. Classic cars mentioned, lovely!

Thank you Stephen times two . She does earn good money at the game, if populist. Good on her I say.

Red Brick Keshner, Jordyn and Tom thanks for liking.

"...in reality, it’s nothing of the sort but simply an opportunity to show us a variety of tits and cocks and fannies on the telly."

Spot on. Speaks volumes of the mentality of "the powers that be".😏

Powerful ending: "Of a stillness that points
To our sameness, humanity's
Undeniable oneness, which,
In a dreamland, could
Render divisiveness
Unrecognizable, entirely
Senseless..."

As Martin Luther King said: "I have a dream...." Thanks for this poem, Holden.

My husband & I were both at the dentist yesterday....yaaaah over for another few months. (have fun next week Uilleam). Thanks, Hugh, for the chuckle. I enjoyed the rhyming of the poem too.

Just out of curiousity, did this conversation actually occur, or did you make it up? If the latter, brilliant imagination!

Moaning about our politicians is all part of the democratic process, Uilleam. I do it myself. But the bigger thing to do is to stand for Parliament. We just need 30,000 people to agree with us and it will all change.

Quite, Stephen. When my mother-in-law was tested for dementia last year, one of the questions the nurse asked was “Who is the Prime Minister”. I thought “Blimey, you need to have watched the news to be sure of that one!”
