Are they on all the time (or can you tell in the daylight)? Are they like white Christmas tree lights? Or are they solar powered so they fade during the night? If so, that's almost poetic, isn't...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Lit??? With what kind of lights? Come to think of it, seems to me there were some solar lantern-like things on graves in the cemetery in Southampton when we went for BIL's funeral. Because it was...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Seems to me I heard there's to be legislation soon against such memorials - at least here in Tennessee. Claims have been made about the danger of distraction (as you pointed out). I never could...

Re: Pet Peeves?

A further peeve: Most of the people who complain about the "blandness" of British food have never tasted the real stuff! The ones who've actually tasted British foods have usually eaten in a posh...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Glad your "re-do" was successful. Your US guests may have been a little leery of English cuisine and likely pleasantly surprised that it was tastier than English fare is usually touted over here....

Ohhhh, that's a relief! Not that they had the misfortune of the car/mobile phone catastrophe, but that there was a legitimate reason for their seemingly crass behaviour. I'm so glad all is...

I just came back from the grocery store where I bought 3 - 1/2 gallons of milk along with several other "heavy" products. Like a good girl, I took my own reusable bags (from Sainsbury's & competing...

Oh, yes they do! We passed 2 cars on the interstate the other day, each of whom had their fog lights on, even though it was cloudy but clear. That one fog light on the back nearly blinds the driver...
