Grudge match

I HAVE four granddaughters. One always gives thanks whereas the other three all have mobile phones and never think to call and say thank you.

When the eldest was 16, I sent a special gift but never received any gratitude.

I do grudge giving them gifts now – I think their parents are failing to teach them good manners!

If cunning cats are coming in under cover of darkness, they can buy automatic PIRactivated water guns from £20 upwards.

FOR the reader struggling with cats in their garden, I bought two solar-powered cat repellers from primrose.co.uk

That was more than three weeks ago and so far so good – no more cat mess. put her hanging flower baskets higher up the wall of her cafe – or remove them.

What a classic example of an underemployed jobsworth at the council.

If forced to remove the flowers there will be a negative impact upon the attractiveness of the area and, quite possibly, upon the business of the cafe.

end of the day, what do they actually do?
