    [Misc] Varifocal glasses

    Had an eye test today and the opthalm..optol..octoph.. eye lady suggested that as I have to swap glasses to use the laptop or phone I should give varifocals a try. What do others think of them ?

    [Finance] National Insurance confusion

    Someone (most people probably) will know more than me.... Mrs H is a few months short of a full state pension on her NI record and she has been offered a part-time job which she hopes will fill the gap. I've looked online and I have found that she needs to earn over £123 per week to get a...

    [Music] Gig going world record

    from https://planetradio.co.uk/planet-rock/news/rock-news/rock-fan-guinness-world-record/ 86 gigs in a year doesn't seem that many to me; in my gig-going (and hearing destroying) years of 1980-1987ish, I went to dozens of gigs a year in Brighton and London.

    [Albion] What time did you get home from Wembley yesterday ?

    We eschewed the train, opting instead for a Seagull Travel coach from Eastbourne. Got there about 3 hours early. Coming back, the coach left at 20:00ish. Took us over an hour to get the five-odd miles to the M4. Then the coach broke down at the Newmarket but, fortunately, the company is based...

    [Albion] Have we ever relegated another club ?

    Our penultimate game is against Southampton and, given their current position they might need a result to have a chance of staying up. This led to wondering have we ever beaten (or drawn with) someone and thus ensured their relegation ?

    [Albion] Think of it less as a step closer to Wembley...

    ...and more as a step towards marital strife. 'Er indoors has us booked in for a big 60th birthday bash up country on cup-final day and I've been told my attendance is compulsory (I guess I would be as it's my birthday). I've told her we needn't have a to do about it as we aint there yet and...

    Has anyone had a "help to buy" mortgage that they've settled when moving to a new home ? If so, did your solicitor/conveyancer deal with, or give guidance on, getting an independent valuation ?
