Lunching again

I was in Chester yesterday for lunch with my friend and, when I had managed to drag myself out of M&S in time to meet her, I passed the town cryer, surrounded by a large crowd of onlookers and welcoming people from France, Italy, Germany and Scotland. Yes, I wondered too, but of course Scotland and Wales are now the only countries on the mainland of Britain, poor old England having been quietly and surreptitiously reduced to 'regions.'
Oh and I was at Chester University the day before, at an interview for a place on the MA in Counselling Studies.
They said I can come!

Ah - the word is spreading about poor old England, I see!

Congratulations on being accepted onto the course! Well done, you!

Congratulations on being accepted on to the MA in Counselling course. Surely the town crier should have been yelling this news out - "Hear ye! Hear ye! The University of Chester is enrolling a demob happy teacher who likes to play doctors and nurses with her husband in the back of an old ambulance!" This would have amused the foreign tourists - including the Jocks.

Thanks, Jay! You should hear my dad on the topic of England!
YP, he probably did - after I was out of earshot, so as not to embarrass me, you know!

Well, Steve, you might say it keeps me out of mischief. ;)

Ian, they would have to be dwarf Siamese twins!

Good luck with your counselling studies, I hope you were successful. And what a bonus to see the town crier, we have a female one in Ely.

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
