IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A GRUMBLE!

What happened to "May I help you?" or "Can I be of assistance?"..............The first time I heard "Yaw right there?" I thought I must look as though I was going to fall down! ....................................................................................... ...I agree, and I also wondered what they were saying when I opened a shop door for someone and heard - "Chiz" !

Have you noticed that when people walk into a shop and you are right behind them - they stop! -you either crash into them or come to a screeching halt!

Do people deliberately walk into supermarkets to have a good sneeze?

Pensioners Is Gordon brown EVER going to repay the PENSIONERS who rebuilt this country after the war by giving them the same benefits BASED ON THE COST OF LIVING he gives every other resident of our nation?........... ..... ..... PENSIONERS PROTESTING

No he isn't! This is the man who tossed the pensioners 75p don't forget!!!!!!!...............He, like Tony Blair is a rich family man and will NEVER understand what it is to be someone who rebuilt this country for others to take advantage of...............Things like 65 BILLION for Northern Rock and MILLIONS of OUR money spent to kill our grandchildren in obscene wars..........David Cameron is no better...........They might listen if SENIOR CITIZENS UNITE WHEN IT COMES TO VOTING TIME!!!.......................................P.G.

That's what we're all about !........................ 20 million of us MUST be heard................... The lowest Senior Citizen State pensions in Europe?..........That is Absurd!!.......... A Disgrace Mr Brown..................................G.Thornhill,

Tony Blair- quote:
	Tony Blair said at the Labour Party Conference in 1997 that He "didn't want his children brought up in a country where pensioners had to sell their homes to pay for long term care".................................. - Since then- approx 700,000 homes have been sold to pay for care..........................

NOAH in 2008 ?

The Lord spoke to Noah and said "Noah, in six months time I am going to make it rain until the whole world is covered wih water and all evil things are destroyed."I want to save a few good people and two of every living thing on the planet.I am ordering you to build an ark." In a flash of lightening,God delivered the blueprint for the ark..................................................... Six months passed ,the sky began to cloud and the rain started to fall in torrents.The Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping,there was no ark."Noah, where is my ark? " shouted the Lord............................................ "Lord forgive me " begged Noah,"I did my best but there were problems.Firstly,I had to get planning permission,but my neighbours objected about me building it in my front garden,The local Council Inspector said it wasn't in keeping with other buildings in the area or the right colour...................................................... I couldn't get the wood to start building as the environmentalists objected to my cutting down trees, I explained I was cutting down trees to save wildlife but there was a man on benefits living up the tree and he called in the T.V. cameras and press............................ I started gathering up the animals two by two but got attacked by an animal rights group............................. ...I warned everyone there was going to be a disastrous flood but the meteorologists told me I was talking nonsense.....................................I warned the Council but they weren't going to spend money clearing drains for a bit of rain ! ................. .Environmental health wanted me to fill out a form if I was going to build a shelter with only one fire escape..................................... Right now, I'm trying to resolve a complaint with Equal Opportunities about how many minorities I'm going to employ....................................................... I have been told I am liable for Business Rates and have been accused of trying to leave the country to set up off shore assets. With that, the sky cleared,a rainbow appeared and the sun began to shine............................................... Noah looked up and said "You mean you are not going to destroy the world?" The Lord sighed and said."No............................... .... Governments have already done that ! "

click here.........At least don\'t let the rain get you down!..Rain is grim enough already without adding a dull umbrella to compound the misery. Fortunately some bright spark has come up with a brilliant idea, these Twilight Umbrellas. They have two, one that is black and studded with a galaxy of tiny blue fibre optic lights, and the other, also black, has tiny stars that twinkle and phase through a rainbow of colours. The Twilight Umbrellas look truly beautiful and stand out from the crowd of normal ones, brightening up even the greyest of days and darkest of nights.What a super gift idea !

Quote of the Day Cunning often outwits itself. Aesop (620 BC-560 BC) Quote of the Day provided by The Free Library

Why do I always get the youngest checkout person at my local supermarket who yells out "Alcohol" as she waves my cheap bottle of plonk in the air?

Why oh why do people stand at the supermarket checkouts for ten minutes,gaping all around them,pack all their groceries and then realise they've got to pay for them? They scramble through handbags,pockets or wallets deciding which card to use while I stand (not so patiently) behind them,card or cash and loyalty card at the ready.

When you are carefully perusing a shelf deciding what to buy and someone is obviously going to rudely pass in front of you, stick out your arm and grab an item,they will either realise their bad manners and go around you (as they should)or get punched in the chest!

Why does a "quick snack" packet of peanuts and raisins or sweets come in a packet that is so hard to open, you could die of starvation!You try to pull apart the sides ,tear across the serrated edges and finally pull down from the top only to explode the contents into a heap all over your lap! -not to be tried whilst driving (just when you wanted them most!)

The ATM

I can guarantee that as I walk up the empty street to get some money out of a "Hole in the Wall" at least three people appear from NOWHERE and form a queue.At the front is a woman with a child who insists on pressing all the buttons and has to be lifted up whilst the mother,oblivious of all others lets her little darling do it wrong three times until she realises she might lose her card and drops her screaming precious whilst she checks her balance and then walks away!.............Next is the guy who screeched up in his Mercedes right outside the ATM and now seems to be checking all his cards(importantly) one by one until he finally draws out 50 Quid from the last one..............next are three teenagers who each have to try,with much giggling,until one of them comes up with a tenner. ................I finally manage to get my £20 out to go to the Charity shop!................................................. ...........So true! thanks Shirley

Packaging

Why do manufacturers write almost invisible writing on their packaging? I mean the actual containers...........What university graduated,upwardly mobile advertising whizz kid puts white printing on transparent plastic containers in tiny letters? ......today I was trying to read orange printing on an ORANGE container! ......had to take a magnifying glass to it !...........Once in a well known health food store I was trying to read the writing on a container of vitamins for the over 50's.It was so small.I convinced myself if I was that old I needed them!...............As we seniors do - I joked with the teenage assistant about it - and he looked at it and agreed with me !...........not just ME then !...................Annie T.

I've cracked it !!!! After all these years of struggling I have hit on a great money making idea..........I am going to start a bank!....I'm going to ask people to put money in it and then get interest on all THEIR money.If they have the cheek to take out one penny more than they have in their account,I'm going to charge them £30 to write a letter......I will offer them cheap mortgages and then borrow the money to fund them.........I will pay myself and my friends millions of pounds a year as directors, making sure I write in "Golden Handshakes" in case we get fired. I will publish yearly profits of multi millions year after year..............-and then when I get into difficulty, I will ask the Government and every tax payer in the country to bale me out...Yippee....I can't lose!...................
