I'm not. Couldn't sleep.

about the last time i saw it too.. luckily the missus isn't in to soaps so don't "have" to watch them

Lived with a lass who was addicted to the early evening soaps.

I'd go to the pub, hopefully before the signature tune kicked in.

I got sick of doing that so moved out.

I believe Dirty Den has just told Ange to get out of the Vic.

IIRC, Arfur stole the christmas money to pay for 'Shell's wedding to Lofty. Where she promptly said "I don't", and Lofty spent all week promoting/listening to "Every Loser Wins" by Nick Berry.

I think that was the last time I watched 'Enders. Is Dr Leg still in it? How about Willy?

I reckon they're all mardy as they hadn't told their wives, and now they know.

Silly buggers.

When I was 16 (and skinny)

You should give up those iron men. At 10,000 calories of exercise a time its so easy to put on weight....

Sounds like a state pension.

I've never really understood while people ever invest in these sorts of schemes. I guess they are so broke that the small margins make it worth the risk but, even so, why would you hand over 10 quid a week to the landlord of your local pub to pay into a Christmas Club?

This is exactly what the villagers of Shrewton have been doing over the past 12 months only to find that now it's time to pay up , landlord of the Royal Oak for the last 10 years, Malcolm Levesconte, has done a runner with the proceeds. All £20k to be precise.

Sounds like a state pension.

When I was 16 (and skinny) I used to work in woolies up north. They had 'High Street' vouchers that they would put into all year for christmas. They were interest free

So is it just a discipline thing?

Assuming paying £10 a week for full 52 weeks of the year, for a total of £520, how much was the scheme supposed to then pay back?

Whatever they get back will be more than what Standard Life would give back.
