Delivering the freebie newspapers and the mass of junk mail is known to be the worst job in the country. I don't know why anyone would bother. It comes up from time to time on "Fair Go" and on the news programmes as a real rip off for willing kids. Seems to work out at about 2 or 3 cents per delivery. A disgrace entirely.

My brother got better paid for his paper round 40 years ago! He got £3, which was a fortune then!

Just to say that I really, really LOVE Summer in the UK. It's my favourite day of the year.  :-\

Sat down to watch Andy Murray. Saw first set. The channel then switched to the Nadal match and after I had watched him warm up for 10 minutes I switched off! Turned the TV off too.>:(

I fell asleep early, after my son gave me the result of the second set + a break at the start of the third - woke up in the middle of the night thinking, "I bet he won in the end", turned the computer on just to check ...  :D (slightly less moan, moan, moan!)

I get annoyed when I sit down to watch a match and can't watch it to its conclusion because the programmers switch to another match. Oh for a functioning red button!

I could do with a good ruby! David won't understand as it's not chic.

Very good Anthony!   Though you are MORE than welcome to the ruby ... the vile substance wouldn't pass my lips (or my nose for that matter)!   ;D

We're out for a Ruby tonight as a matter of fact and, as I'm not driving, a bottle or three of Tiger beer to wash it down too. The morning should be interesting! ;D
