The signs look 'home made' but there is nothing else wrong with them as far as I can see.

At one time the parking charges were reasonable but a few years ago the company operating the parking changed hands and the new company immediately started charging green card holders and imposing massive fines on anyone who overstayed.

Someone has tried to hack my Farcebook messenger. I've changed my password and the posts the hackers put on were locked so it looks as if they didn't succeed. If any here have received any strange messages from me at just after 12 today thats the reason why. Other news, its Olddudders birthday today, happy birthday Ian.

Nearly forgot, ER's will appreciate this:-

Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. The Tesco I was referring to was at Pitsea, the surprise is that it runs the service at all seeing as Pitsea market is only a hundred metres away. Its not unknown for the entire bus load of passengers to get off of the Tesco's bus and head for the market. The worst hit with regard to closures is the town centre and its not difficult to see why. The car parking charges are horrendous and the private company that runs the car parks even charge blue badge holders. Adding to that the shopping area is at the moment split into two by several building sites. Bin day today, I think its the day for the fortnightly lesser spotted glass and bottle wagon was present but it usually substitutes for any alarm call as its normally on the job early, about 07:30 in the morning.

Thanks for that Neil. I've looked it up and it appears that it is so. Arthur Itis began many years ago but the eczema only started a few years ago. Its a complicated story involving medications for other complaints, Flavio might be able to explain it better than I can.

Morning all from Estuary-Land. Don't worry Chris, I've missed the bread pudding delivery a few times myself. Yesterday it was only by chance that I was there at the right time. Normally I shop in Tesco's in the afternoon and had I done so yesterday I would have missed it. As it was I'd arranged to meet my friend at noon so I was there a bit earlier just in time before they all went. My friend avails himself of Tesco's free bus service which runs to where he lives twice a week. Arthur Itis kept me awake last night and seems to have discovered another joint to trouble, my ankle (gout?). Its been hiding behind the eczema which has been sore lately but I've realised that it is the joint. Problem is now that I can't apply the Voltarel gel because of the eczema. One thing that should help is a soak in a hot bath, be back later.

Goodnight all.

Evening all from Estuary-Land. C*******s lights have started going up hereabouts. Like some other ER's I'm the dishwasher, living on my own its not worth having one. The bread pudding has depleted 50% already. Bin day tomorrow, managed to put the bags out between showers though. Thats it for now, be back later.

Pointless celebrities?

Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. They had bread pudding in Tess Coes today, result! There was about a dozen on the shelf when I snaffled mine, half an hour later the shelf was empty. Spent a bit of too much time on eyelid inspection this afternoon so a few things to catch up on, be back later.

All his other model railway items are the same price, £52:50. Every item is still grossly overpriced. £52:50 for a Lima locomotive, I don't think so.
