Memo to self: Cannon Street train station has 7 platforms and not 6. This means that if you are heading for platform 6, it is NOT the one at the far end, and therefore the train on that platform is NOT the one you need to get to ( Read more... )

Following on from a discussion on an internet forum that I had read about the age of coins that we currently use in this country, I decided to look into my purse to see how old the coins that I have are.

Happy Gazpacho Soup Day!!

Oh for fuck’s sake!! It is my job to notify people at work of procedural or regulatory changes that affect how they work. I have been doing that through email, AND little training courses.
