Ask the Person Below You a Question: Thread Four! Countdown to C********! ?

Until all the oomph! has gone out of them. They are not cheap to buy.

Is there a date when you turn central heating on for the Autumn?I nearly did this morning.

No. I turn it on when an extra jumper doesn't make me any warmer.

How often do you go shopping?

I do all my shopping online because of mobility issues. I shop for groceries once a week.

Do you have a burglar alarm/security system on your house?

I have a full system with panic alarms in every room and cctv all around.

We have a burger alarm but no cctv, fancy video doorbells etc.

Are you an owl or a lark ?

Your ‘burger’ alarm made me smile Notagran.
Definitely an Lark.

Have you been on a cablecar? If so where?

Many. Think one in Austria was my most memorable.

How many meals do you have in a day? I only ever snack unless socialising with friends.

Three - breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Have you ever had to clear someone’s house?

Yes ,following the death of my parents. Hence my thread today!

What do you like to do on a rainy day ?

Lol Tilly it should be fish alarm as there are never any burgers here.

I always feel more happy and calm when it’s dark and raining. I love it. It’s just about to tip it down here

Tell me about the pictures on the walls in your house please

If it’s just the walls, and just picture, I have an aerial photograph of my beautiful first house, a picture of Jesus in the entrance hall wall, a large collage of my 6 grandchildren, an etching of the lighthouse, a feature of my birth seaside town, and 2 small ivory inlaid/painted pictures of 2 Indian kings which I brought back from India. I also have a large ornate mirror over the fireplace but that doesn’t count I suppose

Question : What are your plans for today? Anything exciting? Mine is a trip to Dunelm ?

I'm doing a supermarket click and collect. And I was meant to be visiting a friend in Torquay but I'm too tired so I postponed it until tomorrow.

At what age should we think about selling little treasures for fear of them being chucked into a skip when we die?

Oh good lord, I’m not getting involved with that, I’ve already hidden that thread!

Have you inherited any nice things from relatives?

A very good quality mirror. The edging didn’t fit in with our colour scheme so it has been “silver-side”. Probably a word I made up.

What is your favourite flavour in crisps?

Cheese and onion or salt and vinegar!

What pub /bar drink did you favour as a young woman?

When I was in my 20s it was brandy and babycham! I also liked Black Russian

I should probably re-phrase that to take account of any males/transgender/nonbinery etc.

So what was your favorite bar drink?

Pina Colada

What's your least favourite house hold chore?

Gin and lime and it used to give me heartburn. Now I drink Gin and Tonic and no heartburn

Do/did you prefer Coke or Pepsi

Oops too slow
Ironing so rarely do it

Do/did you prefer Coke or Pepsi

I've never really liked either.

What's your usual breakfast?

Either porridge or muesli.

Do you like autumn?

Yes really, but we have a great many trees in our garden and round about us so it’s leaf clearing time soon.

Do you do anything for Halloween?

Autumn is a beautiful season, but it makes me sad because of a sad time that I once experienced in Autumn. But, yes, overall, I like it. Have you been to Hong Kong?

No! I’ve hardly been anywhere!
Ireland, France, Greece and Goa, that’s it.
I did once work with a lovely lady who was from Hong Kong though, if that helps!

How did you / do you get on with your work colleagues?

Very well in the last job before retiring. There was just one, very pedantic, challenging man who told me I was the most unhelpful person he had ever met. ?

Do you/ did you enjoy Christmas parties with work colleagues?
