People complaining about the fog during the York vs Wigan game.

Nothing, and I mean *absolutely* nothing compares to our game against Sunderland in ‘96.

Game’s gone.

Thought I might watch the BBC televised FA Cup game after our postponement. Only when I tuned in did I discover that Non-league Alfreton Town's FA Cup second-round tie with League Two side Walsall was called off due to a frozen pitch just minutes before kick-off. I bet Walsall fans that travelled were happy.

Now what to do this afternoon?

Now what to do this afternoon?

Sort out your cupboards, that's what i've done!. Personal preference but too early to put the Christmas Decs & tree up, i leave that till the week before!.

A helpful suggestion Tony, but I'm giving cupboard sorting out a swerve during December.

Read somewhere (in El Periodico actuall),that the ideal winter heating was somehere betweeen 19 and 21 degrees.21 works for us.

21 c in Latvia works fine. it's the snow shovelling that's the problem. Piled head high already and still only early December, where is it all going to go!

Barclays Bank in Rayleigh is closing. Always busy - a few months ago they started closing on a Thursday but then reversed that decision and reverted to 5 weekdays, plus Saturday mornings.

Assuming Barclays see this closure through, that only leaves Southend with a full time Barclays branch. They obviously want to push on for on-line banking only. Shareholders and profit before customers once again.

People who shop and do everything online. moaning about their high street turning to cak..
People who moan (for example) that its X pence for a fuse in the local shop, when you can order 20 for the same price from amazon , then moan that their local hardware shop is now a (drug front )fast food, phone accessory , empty dump with people smoking weed outside it..
we all get the high streets we deserve.

On recent few occasion I have visited a bank half the staff were teaching elderly people how to use a banking app/cash machine.

In Rayleigh the Barclays branch is often busy dealing with Shop keepers depositing their takings. Those folk come from all the surrounding towns and villages. What are they supposed to do after closure.

I was there on a Saturday a few weeks ago. An absolute nonsense. No desks open just machines but obviously some staff in there. But half the machines are too confusing or didn't work. Staff then having to talk through the machines. Would be much better off just putting them behind the desk as usual.

Always makes me laugh a member of staff showing how to use machines knowing full well they'll be doing it again next time!
Don't get me started on supermarket self service!

Banks charge about 1.4% on each and every card transaction and that is where they make Billions.
And that is why the rich share holding knobs in power want a cash less society, it is a stealth tax lining the wealthier wallets.
Use cash.

Same as over here in Kent - go to the Post Office (can't imagine the length of queues we'll be seeing there.....) or designated (and solitary) regional branch. Where I live the plans are that there'll be no banks whatsoever in the high street - just the PO and Nationwide BS
