Look somebody has to say something, after all they are quite important, toilet seats that is! Here at Talbenny Hall and Cottages we have a total of 10, together of course with lids. In Victorian days that could possibly be the equivalent to 3 family closets, or maybe 2, where the family would all be ensconced, happily chatting with each other whilst they went about their business! But I’m getting away from the point; toilet seats. Why is it that the seats on the loos in our house and which have had constant or may I say ‘regular’ use are still firmly secure on the porcelain, whereas many of those in the cottages are in persistent need of either re-fixing or even replacing. What’s going on? Is it a conspiracy by which someone is loosening the fixings by rote to provide themselves with the perverse pleasure of knowing that I will have my head stuck down the pan whilst trying to refix them? Can’t be as they would have the same unpleasant job in the first place. So why? The manufacturers’ poor quality product? Holiday guests change in diet when they get to Pembrokeshire? I don’t know and I wish I did as it’s a subject dear to my heart??? (anatomy is not my best subject!) Whatever the reason, I hope someone will help as the problem has far reaching implications, not least ‘the seat that won’t stay up’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies’ handbags
Could someone please tell me what women want with those great big (and not so big) handbags? What have they got that’s so important that they have to lug it around with them wherever they go, and it has to be buried at the bottom of their bag under the assortment of make-up, tissues, a change of clothing, every key they have ever owned, and things that I don’t want to know about! Perhaps that’s it, all those things are the essence of their lives, and they have to be with them at all times. Well OK but then there’s the wallet! 75mm (that’s 3inches to some of you) thick, full of what? yet more life sustaining junk; every receipt from Tescos since 2002, all their out of date credit cards, the spare photos not used for the last passport in 1999, maybe a £5.00 pound note? What’s it all about? Men have a slim wallet with a couple of cards, money, and not the slightest need for a kitchen sink when they are out and about. And men don’t keep leaving their wallets in restaurants, bars, and shops, and have to send their wives or partners to go and find them!
But thinking on I could get even more irritated by men with those ‘bum bags’
