You get strange ones where there is something like 'Somewhere Place',
a row of houses that sit on an existing road with the other houses
continuing normally either side of it.

Main road number 2, 4, 6 , 8 Something Place, 10, 12, 14 etc.

When you look back you find there was a building there that occupied
the same space as the 'Place' houses but accessed from a different
direction, hence why there wasn't a missing number from the Main Road
sequence.

In the same way they might put a block of flats where there was
previously a single house and that might become 'Grove house, 105 High
street' and each flat just numbered accordingly. An address then being
Flat 4, Grove House, 105 High Street' or Flat 4, 105 High Street' etc.

I wonder what the limits on adding a letter suffix when a house is
turned into sub dwellings, Like what was '23 The Road' now 21a and 21b
The Road? I mean, anyone ever seen it go past b?

Computerised address entry often can't cope with flat numbers which are
duplicated in a nearby block if they are the same postcode. And even if
they aren't letters can be misdelivered.

Then the recipient "helpfully" puts, "Not known at this address," and
the sender thinks you don't live at the stated address any more.

People who devise names for residential streets lack imagination. They
think of a name and append Road, Street, Avenue, Mews, Crescent, Close
&c. to it, regardless of the nature of the road.

(Avenue is basically from the French "Ã* venue" meaning the driveway
approaching a big house, often lined with trees both sides, which is
what it is /supposed/ to mean in street names.)

I have nothing against people eating what they want, as long as they
don't cause anyone to suffer whilst doing so. Given we are advised to
make most of our intake fruit and veg and minimise our meat intake and
cut out processed meats entirely, not eating animals seems a pretty
sensible thing for people to do.

Or one of your other intolerant rants.

See above, you are the one being intolerant (of other animals, not
me).

You are the sort of person who would likely be 'tolerant of slavery,
people trafficking or domestic abuse if you chose to do so
personally, without understanding that there are victims.

But you will learn, in time, even if it's not directly because of
anything I've said or done but you will have to change (it's already

[1] We took the dogs for a walk in a local forest and on the way back,
fancied a cup of tea from the 'biker' burger van. Before ordering I
asked if he had oat / soy milk and he (to my surprise) said 'yes,
both'. Now, the chances are he didn't just bring them along for us and
so 'other people' must also prefer it?

Similarly, yesterday daughter was in a (socially distanced) queue in a
park cafe, again, just wanting a take-away coffee. She was 'pleased'
to hear the two people in front of her ask for soy milk (she asked for
and got oat milk).

This covers it all very well ... bon appetite! ;-)

[1] But feeding 'pets' meat, or having pets at all is a contentious
issue, even amongst vegans.

1) We (our family group) agree we wouldn't / shouldn't have pets,
however, the only one we do have is a rescue dog. In an ideal world
there wouldn't be any pet dogs and that's why strays / rescue dogs are
typically neutered to stop the problem carrying on.

2) Many dogs can (and do) thrive on a vegan diet but you do really
need to know what your are doing.

https://www.bordercolliefanclub.com/...-to-189-years/

During our many thousand years living with and so domesticating dogs
(and feeding them on our scraps) their digestive systems have changed
(unlike wild dogs / wolves) to be able to process starch.

3) 'In the wild' they would be omnivores and mostly opportunist
scavenger / meat eaters 'anyway'.

4) We have only ever had 'rescue' dogs and we have done so to allow
them to live out their natural lives as the human companions (not to
eat or otherwise exploit them) they have evolved to be.

I'm not sure that Amazon can really be blamed. For some time I
have been in the fortunate position that if something small
appeals to me, after rigorously investigating the options, I can
buy it.

But then we don't smoke, the Mrs doesn't drink, we haven't been on

If it is too expensive for this solution, then it is out

Good logic.

I feel confident she will stay there. It is walking distance to everything

I sort of like covid for thanksgiving because I do not have to go to enforced dinners where they serve unpalatable food such as the ever disgusting turkey with gravy. and destroy sweet potatoes by drowning them in marshmallow. Now i have a real excuse

I hate Thanksgiving. But xmas is no picnic either. We had such a small family so it was no big deal, as we saw each other every day. so family get together during holidays was no different than any other day.

Our traditional Thanksgiving was usually pancakes, or something equally uncomplicated. Absolutely no one in our family ever liked turkey, so we told ma to stop knocking herself out making what no one would eat.

If you enjoy it more power to you. It just has not left me with any memories. At times when i was younger i wished we had more family to share these sorts of things with, but i am ok with it now.

Iinstead of feasting on turkey, I will be catching up on General Hospital. Last episode, they had a bombing and some charachters perished..

You could guess who, because all the soap digests told you which actors were moving on, Also, they have a new actor for Lucas who has returned from California because his ex boyfriend almost died while incarcerated.

We were living in a tough situation, but my mother managed; she juggled. Sometimes we'd pay the light bill, sometimes we paid the phone, sometimes the gas went off.

I wonder what the limits on adding a letter suffix when a house is
turned into sub dwellings, Like what was '23 The Road' now 21a and 21b
The Road? I mean, anyone ever seen it go past b?

There were some six-blocks that I used to look after and the flats were,
for instance, 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, 21e, 21f Bash Street, Roughtown.

People who devise names for residential streets lack imagination. They

Here in Chippenham (The Wiltshire one and not t'other) (England)
there are a large number of Meads and Closes which are named from
the historical fields and enclosures in which they are built.


To the north of Doncaster there is a long road called Jossey Lane, after
a recluse known as 'Old Jossie', who roamed it in the late nineteeth
century. Until approx 1900 it was called Bruisingholme Lane.
The continuation of Jossey Lane was called Middlegate until the 1940s,
when it was renamed Jossey Lane. The name Middlegate was then used for a
road on the new estate nearby, where I lived as a child.

All the vegans.

Cheers, T i m


I see from the newspapers that veganism causes weak bones a hip
fractures. It doesn't surprise me. Most of these weird experiments with
one's own body end disasterously.

Ahh! The truth is out! "You will HAVE to change."! Environmentalists are
fascists.

That's absolutely dreadful. You must have no idea of how much good a dog
can do.

And how many people (in round numbers) do you think I have influenced
(or tried to) with my comments above?

Hint: perhaps you will now stop posting Vegan crap - you have influenced
no-body. In fact you have probably done more damage to your cause as
most people on this group now consider all Vegans to be complete nutters.
