She was in Germany yesterday so it would've been possible.
Maybe "Sir" John really is up for a knighthood ?

When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

Front door bell rang this afternoon, daughter answered the door, came back into the lounge and said 'the Prime Minister is at the door'. I said 'invite her in' and in comes Theresa May. She spent about 10 minutes chatting and was very personable. Very unexpected but can always say that the PM has been in our house!
I once played against Don Revie.

Billy C got it right when he said "The desire to be a politician should be enough to ban you from ever becoming one" Should that be Tory Labout Lib Dems DUP, Sinn Fein SDLP Raving Monster Loony party etc.johnh wrote:Yes, absolutely true.Barlow Boy wrote:Sorry Sir John, but is this is serious post ?.johnh wrote:You never know who is at the door!

Seriously I do think that most politicians start off with the right ideas and values but then find that the system either kills them "career wise" or they succumb to the easy way out.
I personally admire individuals more than Party ... which makes it bloody difficult to choose.

She works very hard in her constituency. Every weekly edition of the Maidenhead Advertiser has pictures of her at (mainly charity) events in and around Maidenhead. I think this was just a meet and greet session knocking at doors.Barlow Boy wrote:Blimey, no offence Sir John, but what the heck was she doing at your house ?johnh wrote:Yes, absolutely true.Barlow Boy wrote:Sorry Sir John, but is this is serious post ?.johnh wrote:You never know who is at the door!

Forgot to mention on my original post. When she was at the door she had a bodyguard with her. He remained just outside the front door. After she came in my daughter, out of habit, started to close the door. The bodyguard shouldered it back open!

Blimey.
What did you say to her ?
Brexit must've come up, surely ?
Germany ? Merkel ?

Her indoors started talking about 'green' issues but I did make the point about giving the EU some stick back as they always seem to be taking the piss. (No, I put it slightly differently ) She smiled and said 'things are not always what they seem or what is reported, we are doing fine'. Not sure these are the exact words (wouldn't make a good reporter!) but that's the gist of it.rigger wrote:Blimey.

Re: The blabla of the forum
One thing I really dislike bout windows 10 is that you don't have the option to turn off updates. I know there are programs to do the registry hacks to stop them from happening until I chose the time myself. I have done the setting of the time but lately there have been so many happening I find it eats up all the CPU of the laptop and affects my work a little. Service host local system on the task manager can number up to anything between 5 and 15 running at the same time. My laptop isn't a strong machine and its a Lenovo Chinese made model but it works well when there is none of these undesirable but probably necessary updates constantly happening. The past week I have had the same update download four times in a row, had the blue screen of death soon after the first time.
