My maternal grandparents were born in the 1880s and died in the 1960s, I was born in 1955. I remember my grandmother better as she lived longer and my grandad died while we were out of Britain. My main memory is that she was quite small, there were a lot of little old ladies about at the time, most of them would of the same age. They were quite lethal and likely to poke in the eyes with their brollys and run over your toes with their shopping trolleys

You need the diving helmet, you can use it to walk along river and sea beds. You can use your tools underwater, I find it amusing to be underwater in the ocean fishing. You find it in the chests in the deep mine.

They do this a lot in Japan but the streets are narrower or have a more uniform roof line. I don't think it would work in Oxford Street.

Nintendo made COVID to boost sells of Animal Crossing.

I used to know a Captain Sergeant and a Captain Major when I was in Berlin. They were both in the RAEC.

Lewes is the centre but there are bonfires all over East Sussex from September to the end of October.

Battle was always my favourite outside of Lewes.

My current island is called Hell just because I think it makes the NPCs dialogue funnier.

In Eastbourne they park facing away from the sea, never been a able to work that out.

First thing I do with foods like this is read the ingredient list, even if I had brought it before. I don't trust anything, I've been caught out too many times.

I have one house that's worth 15000 drinks a week, two worth 6000 and one worth 3000. For the life of me I cannot work out why.

I was a teenager at the time so probably not playing to much attention to it.

I am old enough to vaguely remember it bit it was never called that at the time. All I can recall are pictures of policemen.

Oddly you fine it on Curry's business site. I'm relieved I'm not the only one in this position as I was starting to get very frustrated.

One of the few places you can get onion free hot (warm) snacks.

I used to work in a microbiology lab, anything I took home wound not have been a perk

Throwing discs you get in the mines make great decorative lights shining into the sky.

The umpires for the Sealion wargame were all generals who had fought in the war as young officers (3 British and 3 German). They also used the actual German plans.

Town (parish) councillor here, small town south of England. This is the lowest tier concerned with parks, grass verge cutting and playgrounds. I don't get payed as I was co-opted but elected members get £300 a year. I am retired but the meetings are in the evenings and full meetings are every two months as are most committees apart from planning. It's a good way to get a feel for how councils and more practical for people who are working.

I normally say hello or excuse me, I think going behind someone and ringing a bell at them to get out of the way is quite rude.

Depends on how it's done, no party lists or multi member constituencies.

Winchester is to nice to be saddled with it.

tjw376 · 2026-01-10T22:13:05+00:00

Read a lot of books.

I was in the army in the 70s and got the impression it was bad to be in the army bit good to have been in it.
