Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Morning all, interesting discussion about cash v card. Yesterday I was in Skipton and some of the independent shops were offering 10% discount for cash payments.
It is so much easier with Apple Pay on my phone, though I hold a deep rooted suspicion about being controlled by technology, especially this Alexa - I swear it listens to everything.
I’m sure the phone eavesdrops. During a conversation with grandkid no 3 her upcoming gymnastics lesson was mentioned. Two hours later I received a notification from Amazon, we’ve found these which may be of interest….Leotards!
 
Good morning all on this crisp clear morning here .I hope all are well and enjoyed yesterday without my interjections . Much to do here but not enough to note ! I have photographed a walk we do called hidden lake ,well we go at least once per week and it has now developed into what I call a place of ambush .As we live in the middle of nowhere it is nice to meet other like minded and we have now found the perfect place to "trap" prospective conversationalists .
Yesterday we met three teenagers who were having a barbie ,it turned out they were Mormons ,I had a long conversation with the girl who was the more dedicated to the cause of the three .She did impress me with her adult outlook on life but two of them surprised us with questions one of which was directed at MrsB "What kind of tips for life would you give a boy that is lost ?"
It does worry me as the Finns are a naturally private race and the hiding behind a screen only gives them a more isolated existence than before . We see so many mothers walking their children not looking where they are going just pushing keys on their phones ,we saw a boy on one of these scooters for hire going full speed but texting whilst in the centre of town ( no not Wigan @Val P )
Have a great day all COYB

I once worked for a guy who thought the Chinese chippies were putting ground up silicon chips into the meals and one day they would press a button and we would all stand to attention ,that day might be soon .....
 

Good morning all. I had a lovely night with my cousins (and brother of course ). We started in Wetherspoons in Concert Square, went to eat at Bistro Franc then ended up in The Newington. I do feel a tad delicate this morning. 🤣
I managed to off load some family memorabilia to them that we found during the house clearance- including my Mum's oldest sister's 21st birthday cards. No idea how Mum had them but I reckon they date from about 1949. Her son was totally amazed when I gave them to him.
Have a good day all. X

I trust Mrs B replied "Buy a compass".
 
Filming for the Peak Blinders film again by me next week, digging the benches and the signs up.

They spent ages redoing a pub and surround at Portsoy harbour , 10 miles down the coast from me , to shoot the scenes in Canada ( Nova Scotia? ) where Tommy goes in the last series and is nearly blown up in his car. They had everything back to normal once they’d left. It’s probably on some “ Peaky Blinders Heritage Trail” now!

Probably, they filmed a lot of all the series at The Black Country Museum a d they now hold Peaky Blinders nights 3 or r times a year and the Museum shop got a section of Peaky Blinder stuff.

Nope. Someone related to you may have searched something related and because you’re related and have content related it’s shown to you. Facebook and Amazon own the two biggest ad networks.

Take your point but I’m not on FB with anyone in my family and granddaughter isn’t on FB or Amazon, she’s too young. I’ll stick with my tinfoil hat. ;)
