Hi Everyone. Sorry to sound stupid but could you please tell me how you use the slideshows? so much wonderful information added to these pages but I don't seem to be able to access the slideshows. Is this because I have to make my own? please help this technophobe :]
Hi, I'm English through and through. My family were all cockneys. Not me though, I was born in Camebridge because my family were running a pub/resturant there.
Just so you know.. a tenner is actually £10...(the clue is in the question) as in a fiver is £5. BTW we don't say twentyer :D
other monetry terms are a pony... £25 a monkey... £500 dough dosh smackers bread and honey bangers and mash penny pincher...tight with their money.
oh and spend a penny ??.... nope! it's not that! ....it's to have a wee. I Love England... we're so weird lol... waves imaginary patriotic flag
Hi All, For all the UK Royal Family Lovers . You will know (and be very excited about if you're anything like me, any excuse for a party :D) that in June 2022 Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, Seventy Years of service. There are many great plans in the making for the celebrations. An extended bank holiday has been granted from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June. Communities all over the UK will have their celebratory juices over flowing during this time. One such age old tradition is the lighting of Beacons, which will illuminate the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories. For the first time, beacons will also be lit in each Capital City of the Commonwealth countries. What an amazing sight it will be. So I'm asking you all to share your ideas for THE MOST AMAZING time a care home can have, given all our limits with budget, you being the only events organizer in sight when something needs doing and all your usual go to entertainers are already booked out in other community events.( that isn't actually how it is yet but you get the idea) I want something Super Special. Share away Team GC'S xx
Than kyou so much for these. Every day after our exercises i read out of our Everyday happiness book and read the days page of On This Day In History. Everyone looks forward to hearing about the past and great conversations arise from this. Thank Goodness for Golden Carers. xx
Hi, We had a go at this crossword, not realizing until after i had printed it that it was Australian related. Anyway we did our best, and actually got on quite well. Only one thing, isn't the spiny animal an ACHIDNA ? I think it's spelt wrong on the crossword. I hate picking faults. Sorry, don't want to offend the person that made the crossword.
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
