I used to dread working this weekend and never actually had the pleasure of that weekend off from 1976 through to 2003. There is that little get together in W10. I go way back to the dustbin lids. Touch wood it seems to have been quiet these last few years.

Thanks Nigel! I had to think there for a second Alex with the dustbin lids bit... then I remembered - that's a looooong time!

Regards,
Chris

I like being a bit cryptic, livens up the retirement you know. ;)

Bloody Colonials! Ok I will bite. 8)

I presume you know what "bank" means - those places that only lend you money if you don't really need it and screw you every chance they get.
Holiday - From the Old English "hāligdæg" A holy day, loosly interpreted as a name for any day that business and schools are closed and many have a day off.

That said, there is nothing holy about banks!
