Yes, 2am here and woke up and saw that. I feel better already!       



Geordie waiting for a derby win 

I believe these are what are called football teams in common parlance  but I think this might cheer @Bealman up on his bed of pain... https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/158/2975-220326140105.jpeg

Cheers,

What has she done to deserve this, I wonder?

She should have done an Amy Winehouse and said no, no, no.

Latest is a relative is heading to Chez Bealman to keep an eye on Anne so George has told her to stay put in hospital until he's there

Because that would require everyone in the supply chain take a hit on their margins. Instead the large retailers, who no doubt negotiate better prices from the manufacturers for the large quantities they order, can afford to prioritise quantity over unit price.

And not all retailers are part of some manufacturers approved suppliers
