Hi, Rusty!
Yes, that is very true.
And, by and large, I only follow Athletics and Tennis, and even then do not always recognise a name!
Laura was praising Jenny Meadows in the interview that I saw........she said Jenny was spot on in producing exactly what had been requested.
And I saw the two girls hugging at the end of the race!
No, we don't get our fish and chips delivered!
He doesn't do a delivery service!
But it matters little to us personally as the shop is only a short walk away.
Almost literally "round the corner"!
The best sausage and chips I have ever had from "the chippy"!
Yes, you are right - there are not a lot of folk on the forum today.
I wonder whether half -term may be responsible?
Maybe parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc., may be tied up with children - visiting relatives etc?
Or simply gone away for a half -term "break"?
A possibility?

I don't see much difference apart the huge font which was done to help those on phone and tablet. But I did prefer the old layout

Me too.
There have been requests to have things changed, posted on Editor's Blog, since Sunday, which said Editor has not seen fit to respond to.

Hello, Elle,
I presume someone is paying Jenny to pacemake Laura?
They are both Nike athletes.
As Jazzgirl has just pointed out to Brunel, he waited a long time for answers to his query.
Much longer than normal for a Saturday.
Suggests there is a lack of bodies looking in to the forum?

Well, I am off duty now, as my family in Australia have just woken up and want to chat online.
I hope you are enjoying Three men, rusty . I was taken a little aback in chapter 7 with a certain word being uttered by Harris as a comment on George's loud blazer. But, considering when the book was written, it was commonly used and not in a racial way. Have a good evening.

Hello, Jazzgirl!
Isn't technology wonderful!
I had not reached Chapter 7, but had a look just now.
Yes, I see the word.
Different times, different mores.
I read a book recently about a young lady who went to teach in wild Alaska in the twenties, and the racism about the Native Americans was dreadful.
It spoiled the book for me.
3 Men is a good tale!

Family are eating breakfast :)
Yes, rusty. As well as the antics, the humour, the digressions, and anecdotes, there are some beautiful passages which are quite serious and bring a tear to the eye. Goodnight. Zzzz
