I only ever wear T shirts (I know, it's a denial thing) but both my maids insist on putting them on hangers, rather than folded flat on the shelf.
How can I have the correct creasing in my Walmart Fruit Of The Loom 3-for-$10 T shirts if they are hanging up?????
And why are my maids over 45? Aren't maids mean to be young and pretty?

I've flown fighters off aircraft carriers, sailed the Pacific, done the Hobart race 7 times, raced up to F1, & still hold a Bathurst F2 lap record, ridden show jumpers, & eventers, raised a family, & lived & worked in some of the most beautiful places on earth
There was always something I couldn't wait to do. Now I can't think of a single thing I still really want to do, that this clapped out old body could handle, other than going for a run in one of the cars. Getting old is a bit#h.

A filling station in my village closed and the land sold to a developer. The proclamation was that an premium supermarket was going to be taking it over. Rumours abounded over months about waitrose, M&S, booths... Everyone getting very excited. Until yesterday it was announced that it would be Netto. Let's just say there are lots of unhappy NIMBYs and lower middle class people who think they deserve better. 'Up in arms' doesn't quite describe.

To make matters worse, Netto UK is owned by Sainsbury's!Celtic Dragon said:

Anyone else read this and think:"All these moments will be lost in time...like tears in the rain" - Roy Batty, 2019
The Telegraph article on it has some peachy lines as well:
Conservative councillor Sheila Woodyatt said:
"I am absolutely certain there are those who think Aldi and Lidl are wonderful stores - my daughter shops there - but I just hoped if we had to have a store it would be Waitrose or Booths.
"I know it makes me sound like a terrible snob,..."
"I went to a Lidl and Aldi once and filled my trolley, but at that time they did not accept cards and I had to leave the trolley and say 'sorry I can't pay for it.' I think it is very unfortunate. I would much preferred to see a higher profile store."
"I know it makes me sound like a terrible snob,..."

telegraph.... daily mail... WTF?! I had no idea this had made the national papers... worst bit is that it can only be a newspaper story in order to paint the villagers as the most middle england entitled snobby little Conservative councillor Sheila Woodyatt said:

s imaginable. Which they are. For some reason many people that live here have the misguided idea that it's posh because it's in cheshire. We've got a Warrington postcode, are less than 5 miles from a very deprived town and we are largely populated by toothless rural weirdos and permanent boat people (i.e. itinerant murderers). I feel quite literally ashamed. However i will admit i would have preferred a Booths!!

I'm genuinely excited by the fact that an aldi is being built about 2-3 miles from me. Conservative councillor Sheila Woodyatt said:

However on the subject of the above: aldi have taken debit cards for years. I conclude the cllr above was a penniless fool buying shopping on a credit card.
I tried to buy something for work once at aldi using my company credit card. They declined. However they do now accept credit cards.
