    I can't help thinking that Trump, Farage and friends would have to invent immigrants if they didn't already exist. Who else would we blame for all our problems?

      Being an island not far from Europe there has always been immigration and also emigration of all sorts forced and unforced.
      As to who Farage and co would blame if they're were no immigrants; well anybody different from themselves so Protestants or Roman Catholics or Jews or probably in the case of Farage and co poor people.

            I haven't read all of these posts but i respect what you all say. In 1979 i had my one and only child. When he was 4 he was still in nappies, i hadn't got a clue how to potty train him, I bought a potty that played a tune when he performed and it worked. I had to get him out of nappies before he could go to pre school for a few months before he went to the infants, i did it but he had a accident with soiling his pants. I spoke to one of the parents and she said, he's very young and it's expected. My auntie started putting her son on the potty just to get him used to it when he was a few months old.

                I would love to have an Ocado delivery @Tidemark , Christmas or anytime! Before we moved to our current address, we had Ocado deliveries every fortnight - even had the same slot booked automatically. Now, we are just a couple of hundred yards outside their delivery zone and I MISS THEM!!

                  Cor; next you'll be saying you have guests and visitors over Christmas.
                  I'm reminded that I need to get some combination of rabbit, pheasant, wild boar or venison for a game casserole at Saturnalia.

                      See very little road kill these days; ages since I've seen anything other than a very flat pheasant.

                        It used to be mostly hedgehogs but they have almost died out around here.

                        Mostly squirrels and pigeon around here.

                        We don't see much road kill as well, even a few days ago there was a free range bullock walking the road without any human presence, so thought may be some one would come around the blind bend a hit it then i could have some free steak

                          Saw a roadkill infant child other day. The rooks were having a good feast.

                          Horses for courses. As they say.
