I think Top and KP have lost all interest in us and we're a burden to them. They should sell but who'd likely take us on?

Having a speech defect doesn't help.

Jeez. How many more times?

Agree with Muzzy and the decision as it would have become toxic and out of control. If you've been here for long enough you'll know how it goes.

I think it's more likely that "local shops for local people" (yes, I know the series) will become more combined general stores/post offices/parcel receipt/return points and in that way will serve the close community in which they have a presence. The local shop, in terms of an independent shopkeeper, will likely succumb to franchises such as Nisa, GoLocal, OneStop etc and your friendly neighbourhood grocer who knows you by name, will either have to become a franchisee or sell out to another who will.

And yet Desford has 2 Co-Ops. Go figure.

Rambling emotionally or for whatever reason, is why this topic exists and there's nothing wrong in doing that. I've rambled plenty of times here when I've been in difficult places and rambling and releasing emotions in whatever form, even posting online, or texts, or any format that allows one to release and is proven to be therapeutic even though we might not realise it. That is the point of your post. Expressing emotions even in a forum like this is a recognised therapeutic process. Any loss such as yours is bound to be a lifelong trauma, It's how one deals and lives with it that enables one to continue a semblance of normal existence whilst carrying that backpack of loss and sorrow forever but with a love that can only be expressed in the way that works best, expressing it on here is one of so many ways and a very minor way compared to the personal emotions and how you live with the memories of Elliot. One person's experience is unique to them but there are many others that can relate. I admire you for your fortitude and resilience.

A good 24 hrs, mindfulness-wise. Travelled to Derbyshire high peaks yesterday for a walk up and along Mam Tor followed a visit to the Buxton Crescent hotel making use of their (impressive) spa facilities after which we had a great Tapas meal at a nearby Spanish place then back to the Hotel for a single malt nightcap before a good sleep in a very comfortable bed. For now at least, I feel refreshed and relaxed having been able to switch off and put the worries and anxieties that have been bothering me more and more recently, aside for a while. @HighPeakFox If that's the area you live in, your blessed with such surroundings.

I know... And your response explains exactly what sufferers of full depression will feel in an emotional response to his "joke". I'm not having a go at you.

It's not "great" though. That's too glib and simplistic. It might be mildly funny but it's a world away from true depression.

Just your house? You must've offended someone.

Wow, Amazon deliver to your bedroom? Do you pay extra for that?

Nothing wrong with the Bonzo's

That might be his girlfriend...

My post wasn't aimed at you personally, just a generalisation that most people will believe their own view is more correct than someone else's.

Nothing he says in that clip makes any sense, regardless of the empty seats.

Relevant?

What? Where has this "unearned wealth" come from? Who are the pensioners that are "literally the wealthiest generation to ever live"? Completely unsubstantiated rhetoric. I don't disagree that there are some that don't need the WFA, particularly those that live abroad, however they are BY FAR in the minority. I've responded to these post previously, but for some reason they got deleted.

Linesman, linesman VAR.

Depends where you set your benchmark

What's wrong with you .

Have to say, like them or not, RVN has got Man U playing much better.

To add to their other 5 keepers.

Yeah it was. Sanchez hand catches the foot.
