OMG your delivering the exact twin of my duty.

You two are so judgemental - do you not realise how hard life is laying bed until luchtime, how the wrists and thumbs ache from having to incessantly play top of the range games on up to the minute games consoles...............honestly you two have it so easy tramping the streets in all weathers and being given gifts :whistle

My walk ain't much better, I don't know how people can still be in bed at 1pm. Latest I've ever managed is 11.54am - unsurprisingly, that's a record set recently.

I give the alcohol to my driver.
It means I usually get my drop bags when I need them and where I need them.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I got £5 last year. Now I'm back on my "usual" round over Christmas, which I did for about 5 months last year, I'm back up to £5 again!

Nice old lady, friendly smile off her everyday and now a Christmas tip, Britain isn't all so bad.

You would have to add 15 walks together in my office to get near that! I get around £150 but i'v been doing the walk over 8 years. The average is around £50 per walk. less than 10p per house :chuckle
