Have you considered upgrading your friends? They sound frightful.

There is a difference between friends and acquaintances, at least, in my life there is.

Actually, unlike some on here, I like to have a cross section of acquaintances, not a goldfish bowl.

All advice greatfully received, but, elsewhere in this forum, a sample size of two merits a view. Funny old life, isn’t it?

Ask a dumb question, sometimes get a revealing answer.

It's not a proper survey unless Les Dennis puts his arm around you.....

Everybody, including me, are making comments from a position of relative ignorance.

Here is a link to the actual survey of attitudes, including the detailed outcomes so that people can make their own minds up about the relevance of the information.

Not really, it’s a widely used conversational device.

Doesn’t everyone filter their social circle to a greater or lesser extent?

Sshhh. I think he was alluding to Shep.

 

[Unkraut]

And of course your chats with acquaintances down the pub ...

I have found through bitter experience

Cause and effect.

Of course we do, if you mean who we actively choose to socialise with.

Well most people do anyhow.

But that doesn't mean we don't come into 'social contact' with a great diversity of other people and their views, through daily life, work, play, and general out and aboutness.

Even . whisper it ..On t'internet. 🤨

The not so good news is that we seem to have another storm, hard on the heels of the last.

So another day of attempted damage limitation 🙄

It's blue bin day, so we've had an entertaining morning watching the neighbours chasing their recycling down the road. House over the road's has just gone flying, it's all jolly good fun.

Tsk tsk, Jim.. That sounds perilously close to entertaining yourself at someone else's expense .😇

I'm just keeping fingers crossed for my polytunnels..

All ok so far - put up by a professional - but a lot of my colleagues elsewhere have had thousands of pounds worth of damage.

Often uninsurable 🙁

I'm mainly running round knocking in stakes to keep crop covers and so forth, at least within the bounds of the property..

Rest of the day might have to be indoors tasks.. Bah 🙁
