Early morning, so I am barely human and not very approachable. I will growl
if approached before I have 1/2 pint of tea under my belt and need frequent
refuelling during the day. because tea and coffee consumption borders on
life-threatening I restrict myself to two cups of Indian tea a day and no
caffeinated coffee. Glum about this.
I will be 63 next month, hail from the centre of England and although a
Brummie by birth now could be called a Black Country Wench as I like this
area. Well, like is relative, because I have 'liked' everywhere I have been
in the UK which included the really rural out in the wilds of
Gloucestershire. No, I am a townie by inclination. I actually prefer to live
in a built up environment which, I think, has advantages like buses, and
lots of them, libraries, shops and plenty of hospitals.

Looks out of the window... House roofs, miles of them, with Walsall in the
distance from this window but if I climbed up the hill (wheeze, gasp) I
could see Shropshire. Hello, Bob.

ANYroadup! Married, to a Man on a Zimmer, two elderly cats reaching their
twilight years, one son of forty who has gone all middle class on me and
moved to Malvern Wells and a her-next-door who keeps me constantly ...

S'okay. I will just lurk here by the door until the cafe police decide I
shouldn;t be sitting under a bridge.

Indeed. Living in a city probably saved my life when I had my recent
little heart thingy.
> Where's my TEA!! ?
You'll have to ask Cheerslove. AT the counter. If you grovel nicely,
she *might* bring it to your table. But I wouldn't bet on it.

Just so, but here, thanks to 'centralisation' one clinic is in one town and
another right at the edge of the boundry near another town and the
much-loved local hospital which has been allowed to run down only copes with
elderly and chronic cases but does take blood and x-rays if you remember to
ask your doctor to send you there. Otherwise it's off to the main hospital
and wait, and wait, and wait and gawd help you if you go by car because they
have built a new wing...

I would rather not. I have a smudge on my glove. One has standards, you
know...

Cor blimey. I am sitting here with a tatty old pair of jeans, a scruffy
t-shirt and a pair of fluffy slippers. Standards? Ha-ha.

Hello Lydia, and welcome...any friend of Sn!pe's is okay by me. I am a Yank
the caff took pity on when I wandered in by mistake one day...before I even
knew what a newsgroup was. I was researching tea IIRC...and found Mike King
asking what he should have with his stew (I suggested cornbread). That was
almost 10 years ago and though I give them a break now and then I always
come back to my first home to check on everybody.
I love the way you write
-- especially about "her-next-door" -- and hope you
sit a spell and tell us more tales.
