That's what kid's think of us now, several year's age we took our grandson to Beamish, doing a walk round a house he said look at the funny oven people used in the old day's, when I told him that's the oven my mam had when I was his age, wow grandad you really are old living in history. 

I've only been to Beamish once, about 30 years ago, I couldn't get away with it.

If I went back now I think I would appreciate it more.

Over the weekend we visited a museum in Basingstoke called Milestones - it's a living history museum. At the counter going in I bought my granddaughter a "ration card" so she could buy sweets from the old fashioned sweet shop.

She was amazed at the choice of sweets and how they were weighed out on some old balance scales to get the correct weight.

She was NOT impressed that a week's sweets during rationing was 2oz!! .

Oh - the good old days.

Did she not ask what an Oz was???

They were much easier!  There's me showing my age again.

No, she just said "Is that it for a week" !!!!!!!!

Thanks Steve but i am only a part timer now, moving on.

Eddie you are still part of the forum and will always be welcome.

Ulls, it's my 2nd Cancer Support Group of the week today.  This time in Cramlington.  I'm not allowed to promote it, or I will break the rules (Who? Me?)!!!

I hope I can mention it anyway.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers Steve,I will pop in when i can, things change.

The Cancer Support Group went ok.  I was the only man there.  They're supposed to be trying to start a men's group.  Suppose I'd be on my own!

I told them about this forum being voted the best Prostate Cancer forum.
