The Canary Dave

Morning all. Quite a nice temperature outside at present, but likely to warm up considerably by lunchtime. I will be happy to eat outside on the terrace of the restaurant beneath the shading. Our group has a major drive on for the next couple of months to stock up supplies for the food bank. Quite a few who are in need are the result of domestic disputes, not people in badly paid work. As with most places I suspect it takes the state time to get their act together. Still after a good meal I should be back in time for kick off. The only problem is that feeling full often sends me to sleep. Have a good day one and all.

 

Hope ours is as good as your evening yesterday!

 

Looking to be thirty plus again here today.
Central France is so dry.. Everywhere we went in the Auvergne they were feeding the cattle with winter feed and there were tanks of water in most fields with cattle. The countryside is parched..

The high unemployment levels with low pay in rural areas must be leading to a lot of wife bashing.

 

Sadly no country requires food banks as much as France, 3.5 million people rely daily on these.

 

One can almost hear the tennis commentary:
“Superb underhand deflection from the gammon!”

 

‘Course that doesn’t happen in good old Blighty, especially since we decided to rid ourselves of Johnny Foreigner.

Oh.

 

Good morning, Sir Dave; good morning, all.
Wow. The Canaries managed something remarkable yesterday. It’s the ‘fight in the dog’ as they say. Brilliant.

Now then. How much fight is there in this West Hertfordshire doggy?

 

Whereas in good old England, everything’s under control...

 

Sorry. I’ve done it again. Can’t resist the bait.

Smacked wrist. I’ll be quiet.

 

Good morning from sunny North West London. Spent the morning prepping for an interview (they don't get any easier as we get older do they?). Off shopping now for gear for my annual night walk next week and thoughts will then turn to our big day at the Vic.
Have a nice day one and all

 

This is less than half as in France. 3.5 million people use foodbanks in France.

 

Parcels. People. Not the same. Thanks for playing.

 

No, it is much worse in France. 3.5,000,000 PEOPLE rely on foodbanks. Do your homework.

 

3.5 Million People, must be a lot of wife beaters.

 

It couldn’t be simpler. Then again, nor could you.

 

It's coming to something when the debate is which country has more people living in poverty - it's not a bloody game.
Beautiful sunny day today and lots of us will soon be headed to the Vic to welcome back a thoroughly decent chap who did us proud for a . A much nmomentous seasonicer way to spend the day

 

We should be so thankful to live in the UK when you read about that level of poverty in other European countries.

 

Can you tell me why Britain is the only country in Europe where average life expectancy is falling SH ?
