I visited Oswestry fortnightly for the last 10 years or so of my working life. It has the largest cheese packing operation in the country ! 60,000 tonnes a year back then, even more now.

Do they pack a variety of cheeses, or just a singular product?. Every day is a school day on cruise critic. I also seem to recall an ancient earth mound and a tea rooms. As I was 22, I didn't spend much time in the tea rooms, but went to see Edison lighthouse one evening. Interesting place that Oswestry. As my original post about my visit to Oswestry in my younger formative years seems to have been deleted...............🦃 Edited December 17, 2021 by zap99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted December 17, 2021 #28582 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hello all, I’m afraid my ability to ‘like’ people’s posts again has gone! I hope all unwell people are getting better. I’m dreading one of us testing positive and spoiling our family Christmas so I’m laying low too. They’ll be 7 of us including little grandson Christmas Day and that’s it. I returned to work yesterday, I tried Wednesday but was nervous my voice would hold out. My manager said to leave it another day as if I came back and then went off the next day it would count as two incidents of sickness! 🙄 Fingers crossed we all have a lovely Christmas 🎄 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted December 17, 2021 #28585 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I was having a Christmas meal last night in a local restaurant when suddenly the serviette on my lap burst into song ... "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like eskimos" Turns out it was Napkin Cole Just off to get my 🧥 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, Holland ?. Max got gifted a race win, but although it's quite a nice place, they haven't won much. I think there is a C&A in Amsterdam. A bit early for tulips, but you can get them in Amsterdam and you can get an Orange in a Turkey, but as Orange in the UK is now EE, their future ain't too bright after all.🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it to do with the colour of the local Cheese. Wowzz knows all about cheese ( and many other things) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardennais Posted December 17, 2021 #28589 Share Posted December 17, 2021 My husband had to go to Shrewsbury on Wednesday and remarked in the evening that it was distinctly orange there, and he doesn’t normally notice things like that! So not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't afford any wages for last week (works week in hand) this week or xmas. Nice xmas present. Fortunately we have some savings so will be ok hopefully. DH retires in 18 months. Thankfully we have no mortgage as paid off 5 years ago, but can you imagine if we were a young family with no savings and no money coming in over xmas. What rotten news. I hope that he can find something else to take him up to his retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted December 17, 2021 #28593 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I was planning a quiet relaxing day today after helping out at a different vaccine clinic than my usual one yesterday where we had 1100 customers and knowing that I will have long days tomorrow and Sunday and 8 to 4:30 on Christmas Eve at my usual clinic. It is not looking so good now. I just got back from the hairdressers and a stroll past the shops and my sister texted me that she will be calling round later with presents.

kalos Posted December 17, 2021 #28598 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Here we are and it's a "Mad Friday " and people can go out this year . Not for me though as it's 5.c and getting very foggy tonight but to be fair when the weather turns cold I'm happy staying in where it's warm and cosy Once as I was a child my Dad came home and found me in front of a nice roaring fire. That made my dad very mad, as we didn’t have a fireplace in that room . Keep warm and stay safe guys 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
