We've got one at E-mids as well and someone bumped into me at Greggs and knocked my pies and sausage rolls all over the floor Just goes to show you shouldn't put all your Greggs all in one basket 🙃 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Peterson Posted May 25, 2023 #46163 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Anyone else happen to have bought a life membership to Saga some considerable time ago when they were offering them? The welcome letter (rather a long time ago) included this sentence: "Your new membership card entitles you to receive twelve copies of Saga per year for life" They're now sending out letters to life members telling them that if they want to continue to receive the Saga magazine they'll have to pay £29.95 a year for it - despite having already bought a lifetime subscription to it. Basically, they've got themselves into a financial hole through mismanagement, and they're expecting their members to pay twice over to help them out! Anyone else in this position, and gearing up for a challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshirephil Posted May 26, 2023 #46172 Share Posted May 26, 2023 We are currently in Aomori which is a small town on the East coast. We had a good trip to a museum where they mainly show the very impressive floats made from Bamboo and rice paper. This was followed by another temple where they have a twenty one metre statue of Buddha, we had a teaceremony and Mrs yp was invited to play a harp like instrument. Overall a great informative tour. One more port and then we tootle across to Alaska. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted May 26, 2023 #46173 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) It looks like another nice day. The birds kindly sounded thier alarm at 3:15 this morning so I have been awake since then so only 4 hours sleep. The upside to the early morning is that the washing is already out on the line to dry. Today is our sisters monthly lunch, we are going to a place that I haven't been to for almost 5 years but it used to be very good so I am hopeful. The last time I went there was the last time that I saw one of my friends who sadly passed away 2 weeks later so I have mixed feelings about going. Have a great day whether on land or at sea.

Not doing themselves any favours.They put my car insurance up 200 quid this year despite 15 years no claims.Goodbye Saga,got it 150 cheaper elsewhere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
