Well done WHL

I went to a basic secondary modern school,failed my eleven plus ( my dad went mad ) failed every other exam i sat.I struggled with maths,reading,science you name it. I left school and served a six year apprentiship as a joiner.A couple of years after that i started my own business,worked every hour ...

How the world has changed in my life time,ah well.

Devil I said my wife was born in February 1947,i,m a we bit older.Mmmmm,if my maths are correct you must be 89/90,,i raise my hat to you.Whats your secret if i may ask.

Sitting with my wife in vegas waiting to see a Celin Dion concert, I had a tap on my back, guy says to me are you so and so by any chance . It was an old class mate of mine, i hadnt seen for fifty years. Wow WHL that is a coincidence.Recognising you after fifty years you must not have aged that muc...

We,ve had the opportunity to travel extensively during our lives and we have met up with fellow Brits in the most unlikely of places. Examples.....

If say you had an antique or similar in your home that had been handed down to you through generations,you know which country it had come originaly from but had been purchased legally at the time by an ancester,would you willingly give it back

Oh dear,it gets worse.ATM machines will not now accept my bank card for withdrawing money....So off i go to the bank again.

Bingo!,,thanks to all who have advised.I have checked my humble account with my online banking this morning ( could not wait ) and they have credited me with the 200 euros that the ATM machine refused to dispence last Friday

Thanks galexinda,i am waiting with baited breath until as you say next week.

As suggested i rang the number on the ATM machine and actually spoke to a human being who could make a decision ( yes i know,unusual these days ) he said i had to contact my bank. I phoned my bank a zillion times and they told me each time they where to busy to take my call. I was by then a little c...

About 20 minutes ago i went to draw 200 euros from the ATM machine which is outside the Express supermarket Tremithousa.It did not pay me the cash but notified me on my mobile that i HAD withdrawn the cash.Any suuggestions what i do next
