I wish this could apply to other shops... There is a little coffee shop, where two people arrive and approached the counter. “Five coffees ☕️please. Two for us and three hanging.” They paid, they took their two coffees and left. I asked the waiter. "What’s this about hanging coffees?" “Wait and you'll see." Some more people came in. Two girls asked for a coffee each, they paid & left. The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by three women - ‘three for them and four hanging coffees.’ I was left wondering...what is the meaning of the hanging coffees, they leave. Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looks like he might be homeless, arrives at the counter and asks sincerely... “Do you have a coffee hanging?" “Yes we do, sir.” They serve him a coffee.... I got my answer. People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can't afford a hot drink. This tradition started in Naples. Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world’s cities and towns. It’s also possible to order not only "hanging coffees" but also a sandwich or a full low cost meal. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all start doing this in the cities and towns where we live? Small kindnesses like this can impact so many lives, in ways we could never imagine. Maybe we should all try it.😊❤️🌹 -

To slice avocados for salads or guacamole, split them in half, remove the pit by whacking it with the heel of your knife and twisting it out, then slice it directly in the skin using the tip of a paring knife or chef's knife. When you then scoop it out with a spoon, you'll have slices ready to go, with less mess than trying to fiddle with slippery peeled avocado a cutting board. -

I saw this on Facebook and thought I’d share. DEAR ASDA, MORRISONS, SAINSBURYS, TESCO AND ALL OTHER STORES THAT HAVE SELF CHECKOUT! You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I was at Asda, the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone. I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store. You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. • I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you. • If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine. • Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities. YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING. YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU. Signed ......All of us Copied and pasted, because I agree 100%. -

Have you ever washed your bed pillows? I decided to and have been fighting with both of them to get them back into shape!!!!! They are Silent night ones and the instructions said "40 degrees wash and tumble dry on a cool setting to plump them up. All of which I did and after over half an hour I am exhausted! the blessed things still have lumps all over, I wouldn't let my dog sleep on them (if I had one). Has anyone else tried washing yours because even when they are wet your can't get the fluffy nice pillow back to it's original shape. -

In this intimate exploration of identity, trauma and power, a young woman seeks out her birth mother, inadvertently triggering a string of events which change both their lives. Starring Ann Skelly, Orla Brady and Aidan Gillen. This is a beautiful film that resonated with me as I was an adopted child who longed to know where I came from. I watched it on Prime Netflix tonight -

I had a call from a scammer the other day. Me: “Hello.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Hello. This is Bob Bobson from Microsoft Support. We are seeing a lot of virus activity from your device.” Me: “Oh no. My device? Are you sure?” NOT-Microsoft support: “Oh yes, we have many reports.” Me: “Oh jeez. How can I fix it?” NOT-Microsoft support: “It’s okay Sir. We can help you right now. Are you in front of your device Sir?” Me: “Yes. I was just about to use it. I’m glad you called.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes Sir, we are going to help you. Can you please push the Start button?” Me: “I think it’s already on.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Okay, Sir. Now you want to click on Control Panel.” Me: “I don’t see that.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Do you see a bunch of information above the Start button?” Me: “Yes.” NOT-Microsoft support: “That is your Control Panel.” Me: “Wow, I didn’t realise it had a name.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes Sir, now press on Internet Options.” Me: “Yeah, I definitely don’t see any Internet options. I don’t think I purchased that feature. This is just a cheap one.” NOT-Microsoft support: “They all have the Internet, Sir. Press the Start button again.” Me: “Okay, it’s the same as before.” NOT-Microsoft support: “That’s okay Sir. We are going to restart your device. Can you please turn it off?” Me: “Um … I don’t know how. I’ve never turned it off. Since I bought it, it just kind of stays on all the time.” NOT-Microsoft support: “There must be an off button on your device. How do you stop it when it’s running?” Me: “In those cases, I usually press the big button.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Okay sir. Please press that button.” Me: “Okay.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Is your device off?” Me: “No. The door popped open.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Door? Is there a disc inside the door?” Me: “No, there’s a burrito.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Why is there a burrito in your computer?” Me: “Computer? I thought you said this was microwave support.” -

A reader in my paper today.... In a speech before the 1983 General Election in Glamorgan, South Wales, the then Labour Leader Neil Kinnock said. "If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday. I warn you not to be ordinary, I warn you not to be young, I warn you not to fall ill, and I warn you not to grow old" Nothing changes, does it? -
