@Jan_Leeming Current government policy is causing even more to go. We used to have 32. There's now 4 traditional pubs, and a Wetherspoons, which is actually not bad. The pubs are demolished or turned into takeaways and betting shops. No banks either, but we do still have a proper post office.

@Jan_Leeming It's back in now. My son is 28, and he was taught his tables at school. He passed his GCSE maths a year early, in year 10, and got an A*. Shows the power of learning tables. There's been too much experimenting on pupils over the last 60 years, from an ex-science teacher!

It wouldn’t take long. The young have brains like sponges soaking up knowledge. I was able to remember huge screeds when young but using autocue meant I didn’t exercise that part of the brain so can’t now. Think of actresses like Maggi Smith etc who remember lines into old age.

@Jan_Leeming When my daughter was at school the norm was ‘we don’t do tables’. This was the 1980s. So we did them at home. Whenever on holiday we did times tables in the car or just after breakfast. Aren’t I cruel! She thanks me now though. It didn’t take long.

@Jan_Leeming I've just started Latin on Duolingo. I'm astonished how much I remember after 60 years 😂

Hi Jan. After an accident I arrived at A&E well before 11am. About a dozen of us were sent to Minor Injuries at about 11:15 & had to log in again. At well after 12.00 we were sent back to A&E & we logged in again so my waiting time looked 1 1/2 hrs less. Others were 2 hrs less.🤬

Local Meridian News story NHS has brought down Waiting Lists. Rubbish- they’ve ticked boxes. Had waited 6 months for ‘procedure’ - had Pre-Assessment thinking I’d be seen within 3 months. NO - appointment end June which will necessitate another Pre Assessment- Waste of nurse time

@Jan_Leeming I taught my grandchildren tables just up to the 12 times. I fire them random tables questions and they reply straight away with the correct answer. They thanked me for doing this as they got older as they don’t need to use a calculator for the basics.

Exactly. Knew I wasn’t making it up. Son was born in 1981. I had to teach him his tables. Why on earth was it a policy NOT to teach them. Some fancy ideology?? Like not teaching spelling correctly. 😢😢

Don’t know how you feel but I abhor news ghouls capitalising on grief of grieving families. Tonight on ITV it was family of Harshita Bellar murdered it is thought by her husband & on the run in India. They obviously agreed but it was harrowing and brings them no closer to closure

Yes very sad - for those who love pubs it was a great place for socialisation. Even though not a pub user I feel sad every time I see one boarded up. Goes along with demise of youth clubs. 😢

@Jan_Leeming I'm only a moderate drinker - usually no more than 2 or 3 drinks a week, but the destruction of community life in Britain is sad. Historic pubs now left abandoned, derelict and covered in unsightly graffiti is a sad reflection of the society we now live in.

I’ve experienced that too. I’ve given back excess change to their amazement 🤣
Frankie Burrell@Frankiebuz

@Jan_Leeming Hi Jan. Many times, if my shopping bill is, say, £10.14 and I have a £20 note, I'll hand over the £20 note plus 14 pence in change. The person at the till often looks totally confused, then hands me the receipt plus a £5 note, then £4.86 in change plus the 14 pence I'd given.😕😇

Personally I'm no & never have been a pub lover but I feel sorry for millions who love them. My village once had more than 4 pubs - now there's only one. Villagers who've lived here all their lives say they used to go on perfectly safe Pub crawls because they only had to walk🤣
