#years

I received a letter from the #UK #government Department of Work & Pensions (#dwp) recently. It was sent to my old address and had arrived thanks to the forwarding service of #RoyalMail. They told me I couldn't do it online due to one of the answers I gave, so I made a phone call. After 30 minutes of repeatedly being told they knew I was #waiting it was great to speak to a human with a thoroughly #English accent. I could understand her and enjoy a little chit chat. Since my #teenage #years I've been known by my middle name. That's common in Ireland, I was told. She confessed to having Irish relatives in her family. But to the point of this toot! I really should have told her that #Google reckons the number I rang belongs to a company called "Funerals on a Budget". After the call a dialogue appeared asking me if I could confirm they had the correct information. I was so busy #laughing I managed to close the #dialogue before answering.

@mlanger@mastodon.world Until a couple of weeks ago I hadn't eaten at a #Chinese #Restaurant in about 40 #years. Diana and I went to one a couple of weeks ago while staying in #Cheshire for a few days. We went to the "Chinese Delight" in Frodsham and had their "#Banquet for Two" as we weren't sure what to order. I failed to take any photos of the soup course and only started as I was half way through the next one, but these are some of the images I sent on our family WhatsApp Group. We hadn't realise quite how much we had ordered, when looking at the menu. These days we usually feel quite full on those lunchtime "#SeniorCitizen Discount Deals". If you're feeling hungry, we'd recommend the place. https://www.chinesedelightfrodsham.co.uk/
