Ray, twice a week, where down to once every a month. Bread & marge, Mon - Sat & cake crumbs on Sundays. I can smell the Hovis from here.
Ah!, those were the good old days.

My new plan is to move & change phone numbers, without giving the new address to the BOY wonder at UNI. I'm tired of being his BANKER pal.

Good one.

Its when you know your parents don't love you anymore "You come home from school, they moved leaving no forwarding address."

After living in California, they were probably trying to avoid you. That long haired hippy gear will do it.

I moved to a town 200 miles away and my parents didn't know for 2 years. When I left the UK I didn't tell them either for a while. When I was at an event my uncle was hosting he introduced me as his niece who left the country and never told anyone. Nice.

Wow, my Banks are in a mess and giving me lousy interest rates, has turned into
"Dear Marge - frustrated Poplar", for those who remember such things.
