What's the monkey called? I'll give it a shout in the morning.<br />Don't knock retailers we need them and they are dying out quick sticks. It's their money. Ours as well but only if you use them. I like John Lewis and Waterstones. They keep the doors shut.

Two years ago, I organized a "behind the scenes" tour at the mall (which was really very interesting) for my local XING group. Our guide told us that they have compared the amount of energy consumed for the heating and the doors opening and closing all the time with the amount of energy needed for the stream of hot air blowing like a curtain between the mall and the world outside. Apparently, the hot air curtain takes less than heating + automatic doors combined.<br /><br />Private jets: they need them for their ego, for nothing else, I guess.<br />Your army helicopters circling the hills are our police copters circling the town centre everytime someone is reported missing. I hear and see them so often I really must wonder about the sanity of my fellow Ludwigsburghians. How can they keep getting lost all the time?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-69078064052919096972013-06-29T14:46:29.689+01:002013-06-29T14:46:29.689+01:00I think you're only scratching the surface the...I think you're only scratching the surface there, Frances!
