There is always a compromise to be had. If you could engage her in conversation and explain just how bad for the birds health it is to feed them unsuitable food like bread, cured meats etc. Why not suggest she use bird feeders using seed, sunflower hearts etc. things that are good nourishment...

Just enjoyed watching it. Thanks to the OP and others who added the link. As Mrs BS has gone to bed guess I'll have to watch it again tomorrow with her.

So I am reliably informed by my local dentist.

This is the issue that needs addressing in the UK - cost of procedures. Living in Spain, a fairly civilised country, there is no Health Service dentistry service provided by the state. Everything is private, but the costs are very reasonable and they're is a wide choice of dentists, and...

No,no,no......not POTS!! It's a curse on us.

Indeed it was. Being in the police force at the time we knew it as 'the only crime you were punished for if you failed and vice versa.

I, and friends here in Spain use UKexpat.vpn guaranteed to be good with BBC, ITV, Amazon Prime, Sky News, Channel 4 & 5. Used on a Firestick for past 4 years without major problems. If a provider does suddenly block a station with the 'we think you are viewing outside of the UK' notice, you...

My parents were too worried about the potential crowd size for the Watford game and wouldn't let me go to the game. I guess they were right but I was an upset 11 year old so stood in the back garden of our bungalow in Greenfield Crescent and imagined I could hear numerous cheers emanating from...

Loved so many since seeing them perform 'C'mon' way back in '63 at Hove Town Hall (the old one) - but forced to pick one it's 'Dead Flowers'.

50p each!! They used to be 4 for an old penny - that's inflation for you.

5 Fruit Salads or Black Jacks, individually of course...(can you still get them?).

Currently at 0900hrs it's a cool 25c, much the overnight temperature. Rising to 34/5c during the afternoon. Can't really cool off in the pool as the water temperature there is 34c at the moment. It's catch 22 with that, I either leave the solar cover off and evaporation causes weekly top ups...

PX'd my Honda CR-V diesel this week for a CR-V hybrid. Only because the PX offered for my existing car was so high (800e less than I paid for it 30 months ago). Bought the dealers demonstrator, one year old, 9k.kms. 4 years of guarantee left and with inflation officially running here at 10.6%...

The eminent Lord Winston was quoted in The Times only yesterday on these very issues, his quote; “We can change our gender. We can do it by mutilating ourselves. We can remove bits of our body and change our shape and so on but you can’t change your sex because that is embedded in your genes...

Received my new passport back via DHL here in Spain 31 days after applying on line. Old one returned separately 7 days later by same method. My only comments are as to why we are charged £85 for applying on line rather than £75 if I was in UK - why the difference, and before you say postage...
