A nice surprise this morning.
My father passed away ten years ago this November and this morning, out of the blue, I received a sizable cheque from an insurance company in respect of a policy I didn't know he had.
This was odd because my father was a funeral director for very many years and he was well aware of the problems left for families to sort out. He'd therefore left behind complete details regarding his funeral and all insurance policies. These all paid out within a few weeks after his death.

Well, that was quick. Trainline and PayPal have both confirmed that my cancelled train refund will arrive next week.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

Not that there's a Booths that nearby, but I call this good news!

Yes! This got a mention on the BBC 1 1pm News, where the store chain CEO was interviewed. Our local Sainsbury's has re-introduced one single walk-through checkout. I would dearly like to think it was after I had assailed the store manageress (with whom I am normally on friendly terms) saying that the expensive branch refurbishment had put me off using it ever again. She said, "You can always use our complain facility", to which I replied that Sainsbury's would be unlikely to reverse their decision on grounds that some unfortunate old bloke was finding the new arrangements difficult to negotiate!Originally posted by Pulcinella View PostComment

Excellent! Booths is an admirable store. They have a good track record of employing differently-abled staff. I have slways found staff polite and helpful.Originally posted by Pulcinella View Post
As you observe Booths are concentrated in the NW with a few incursions into the White Rose County. The nearest one to us is Ripon, which is quite a trek, but we pop in if we are passing.Last edited by Old Grumpy; 10-11-23, 17:20.Comment
