Hi all

connection dodgy tonight.
I could not get on this morning too.

A car thief stole a car then knocked down a 70 year old lady and killed her yesterday. Two people were arrested running away from the scene.

They had just reopened the road when a gang jumped a 14 year old schoolboy and beat him up in the street yesterday right outside the shop.

Quite an upsetting day.

One of the biggest advantages of living up a mountain in a tiny village is

No crime of any sort - can walk about on my own any time of the night in perfect safety -

Got kicked off again.
It does not help my concentration or my blood pressure.

The gangs are a bit of a problem. They hang outside the shop and try to intimidate us.

They blatently deal but the police do not seem to do do anything.

Hi Sylvia,

Just tea & Toast for me thanks.
Late afternoonn tea for me



Just backing up a bit to Ginnys question about noisy fridges.

I asked my HID an ex-navy electrician, and my understanding of what he said was...

Fridges have a compressor which turn gas into liquid - to cool food in the fridge the liquid absorbs heat which will cause the liquid to turn back into a gas, which then goes through the compressor and is turned back into a liquid, and so the cycle continues.

This all happens in all those tubes at the back of your fridge.

As you all know the compressor is not continually running, but only as needed to keep the set temperature.

So, when the compressor stops, the gas to liquid exchange stops and they settle in the tubs and your fridge gives a big sigh, burp, rattle........or whatever you would like to call it.

Some fridges are noisier than others ... and like any other noise it seems louder at night.

I rather liked the bird chirping that the old fridge did :)))

Julcoe Report 25 Sep 2010 07:38

Our fridge is of the "big sigh" variety ... and some days I know just how it feels.

SylviaInCanada Report 25 Sep 2010 07:40

lol!!


It was when we had to give the old fridge big thumps on the side to get it to stop making other stranger noises that we decided a new one might be in order ............. it had given us about 36 years service


The delivery men who brought the new one were also to take away the old one ..... they looked at it in wonder, and kept saying "I've never seen a fridge like that" lol!

That's the 'young' of today.
If anything is more than 10 years old it's ancient!

My parents stopped going to country museums because they were full of things that mum & dad used as they were growing up !!
They didn't feel that they were THAT old.

About 20-25 years ago we went to a country general store museum near here

...... and OH was devastated when he saw a Rolls Razor (which had a built in strop) like the one his father had given him as 21st birthday present in 1959!

Now considered a museum piece!

I was busy being intrigued by the cans of foodstuffs, sweets etc, like the ones that I remembered from the Uk in the 40s and 50s


we'd already had the horror of seeing horse-hair stuffed dining chairs in a museum in the 1970s which were very similar (if not identical) to the ones his parents had thrown out in the late 1940s ................. and you should have seen the price they wanted for one of them that was on sale

oh my!!


OH well remembered sitting on the chairs when they were in his grandfather's house ........ he said there was nothing like the torment that a little boy in shorts got from the horse hairs sticking out through the leather!



night night, I'm off to bed


OH is already snoring away there

I am sure all the sleepy heads will enjoy your breakfast when they can drag themselves from bed and onto their computers.

Scrambled eggs, mushrooms and toms with toast....wipes drips from mouth and slurps tea......ta Sylv

Julcoe.....thanks for the explanation of why my fridge makes strange noises. Now, would you mind asking you clever OH...why does it sometimes think it's a freezer and FREEZE everything!

I have to turn it off every so often, which is not ideal....must buy a new one but what with facing the poor house that may have to wait ;)
