CTRL P and the rise of the cash till ... Thursday 17th Oct

Is summer back? I wish. Although as I walk down to the library this morning with the sun on my back, I can dream. All my IT queries in the library at the moment seem to relate to printing. Mrs P suggested I do an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sheet. But as I said, it is only one question 90% of the time, and the answer is usually, “Press CTRL P.” That or turn it off and turn it on again.

I spend the afternoon doing the housework. So being a House Husband in other words. Then getting the eldest’s tea ready early, as she was off out to do her dance show. Then getting tea ready for Mrs P the youngest and me. Followed by cleaning up afterwards. So what you might imagine a House Husband should be doing.

In the evening Mrs P and I take an evening perambulation, needing to pass the cash till at the local HSBC. We are somewhat surprised to see the front of the bank is boarded up. That is until we remember seeing in the local paper that there was an unsuccessful attempt to liberate the ATM last weekend. Bit of a pain though as it’s the cash till we prefer to use. Not that there aren’t options. Within 100m there are four other cash tills, in either mini/super-markets, or post offices, or petrol stations. Somebody must be making money from them. Funny thing about cash, if I have it I spend it, but if I don’t have any I can get by fine. I can't help wondering though where all these cash tills are coming from.

Yours counting the cash tills.
