Going to see the grandkids today have just popped to the shops to buy white chocolate buttons & other sweets. It’s ages since we’ve seen them. Looking forward to it.

What are you getting the kids?



Enjoy the visit NW

We have tickets for the panto in Worthing tomorrow with our daughter and grandkids, I phoned her today to say we were pulling out sadly due to Covid, just didn`t feel right about going.

Just seen a bloke on a TV auction programme sell a gold watch for £800, but he only got £656 after auction fees. Since the buyer will also have paid auction fees the auction house has made about £300 for selling an £800 watch.

EBay are as bad these days have become very greedy sellers fees can be as high as 15%. Facebook market place is the go to place these days.

Mrs SW came out of her covid quarantine at the weekend so we headed south yesterday to see the grandson, stayed the night and just got back now.

I can confirm playing with a 18 month child is tiring, taught him to shout goal when Leeds scored

Compton played for Arsenal as well (I think) so is it something along those lines? All played professional/professional standard football as well as County Cricket?

They did indeed all play professional football but a lot of others did especially pre-war but these 5 did something in their football career, something CB Fry almost did.
