HAPPY NOW?! Jesus, it's almost as if you have something to hide if a five year-old boy staring at you makes you feel uncomfortable.
And another thing... It took me ages to find the image by trawling through literally thousands of photographs on this machine and when I was half way through, the photo storage just crashed. I had to begin all over again. The things I do to keep you all happy.
During that trawl I came upon this photo. You can immediately tell it was taken in the Pre-Covid era (B.C.) but if you were uncertain, the date 1910 can be seen beneath it.
The street where I live can be seen in it and - believe it or not - the crowds had gathered to see King George the Fifth and Queen Mary standing outside The Guildhall, presumably waving at them. I wondered whether or not you would get this sort of a turnout if today's royalty stood around in the street, then I remembered the funeral of Princess Diana. I bet the police are hoping our beloved monarch has the good grace to pop her clogs during the middle of the Covid crisis. Just think of the money they would save on crowd control and security.
I have already received a message from a devoted follower, complimenting me on my good sense in reverting to my old (and much-loved, it seems) header photo, and she also gives me clear and easy-to-follow instructions for making the blog mobile-friendly. I am now going to carry them out. If it doesn't work, blame Rachel.
Well that worked. Thanks Rachel. It would have taken me ages to understand that the three, tiny grey dots had anything to do with mobile settings options. I just wonder how really old people cope.
ReplyDeleteI thought I would lend hand as the mobile bit is important to me and you seemed to keep putting it off. You just have the clock to do. X
DeleteI like the idea of having no clock at all.
DeleteI find it useful to know what time of day you wrote the post.
DeleteThat's why I don't want a clock.
DeleteDid I say clock? I meant cock.
DeleteI did a double take and decided to leave it.
DeleteI bet you say that to all the boys.
DeleteAnd John - here is your moustache-wearing older member of the crew. He is the universal British uncle.
ReplyDeleteHello daddy!!!!!!
DeleteHello son. You are a big disappointment to us, but we still love you.
DeleteAnd everyone else - anything else I can do (apart from stop writing) to improve it?
ReplyDeleteRachel sorted my blog out too....
ReplyDeleteNice to see everything as it should be xx
You think this is normal?
DeleteYou can tell they had no television in the olden days. I would say to everyone using the new blog, just click on all those toggles and learn how to use them.
ReplyDeleteTom's blog problems of the past few days, Thelma, were nothing to do with new blogger. New blogger should not pose a problem for anyone, it just happens and works.
DeleteThank you for taking on that one. I am beginning to lose the will to speak. In a way I don't blame anyone. The thought of reading all John's comments makes me feel ill. Him too judging from his response rate.
DeleteI couldn't have stomached it either. I had to work quick.
DeleteThen breath into a paper bag.
DeleteNever thought of that Thelma - we are all too idle to go out to see then thesw days.
ReplyDeleteUnless they are dead.
DeleteWell that kept me entertained. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteUs 3 are an act.
DeleteThe date is clear, 1910..but even without that, you could date it to before the late 1940s, as everyone has a hat.
ReplyDeleteGood to see your problems sorted, and now we know who to request assistance from!
Yes, I don't know what happened to hats. I blame Teddy Boys.
DeleteWell you couldn't put a hat on thier sort of hair styles, could you!
DeletePolicemen used to say to Teddy Boys, "Do your feet come to the end of those shoes?" The answer was, "Does your head come to the end of that helmet?"
