Mon. 24/5/21 I had my 2nd cataract op.. 1st eye was done 9/4/21 and the result was so wonderful, discomfort negligible, that I was overjoyed to be offered a sudden cancellation on Thurs. last. I went...
Yet another friend is having problems with this. He and his partner of 15 years have decided that they wish to wed. We are to be witnesses at a very private wedding because his family do not approve...

This really is for a friend of mine. She was badly done-to by a firm of solicitors she employed to fight a case brought against her by a chap who claimed half her house as squatters' rights. To cut a...

I keep hearing about bringing retired teachers back to help with the current crisis - as happened regarding doctors. I am more than willing to put in a couple of mornings per week (ex-English teacher,...
Baffled by this one. We thought it should be belt. 36A Strip of fabric or leather with pockets or pouches for tools, pens, pencils or sewing items. R_L_. Have double-checked the R & L (strip and...
Not all that important to most people, but I am feeling troubled and I am under pressure (as a P.C.C. member) to provide a response tomorrow sometime. Can we start by acknowledging that I am a...
A few months ago we booked a holiday cottage with Cottages.com beginning 8.5.20 for a week. Obviously se can't go. We have rung (45 mins.) and emailed to get a refund. They only offer a voucher. After...
