Feeling my age, I knew everyone of the names on the list and probably saw them all first time round! I used to frequent a place called the Camden Palace (every Friday night) and Soft Cell were regulars - as was Boy George and a lot of others from their era. They weren't playing - just being seen in the VIP area! Sounds like you enjoyed yourselves despite the outrageous prices. I've been watching the build up to Glastonbury and now I know I'm old - I mean where do you plug in your hairdryer!!! Have a good day. Jane xx Pauline and Sarah are going to see Rod Stewart and Culture club. I would have went but even though they have seats everyone will be standing and my arthritis prevents me standing after a short time. 18°C and sunny here with a high of 21°C expected this afternoon. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I whinge about being ripped off in the supermarkets here with some things seeming to have gone up every time we go regardless of world events, however after having visited Japan and Alaska and looking at the price of some everyday items there even the ship shops seemed cheap. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hubby has been working in Skipton today so isn’t home yet but it’s still warm so I suspect we will be eating outside too Michelle 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut006 Posted June 24, 2023 #47021 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok today. We have just arrived at our hotel in Jersey, brought my mum for a few days away. It is very hot at the moment, hope it cools down or we will be melting. We are staying at Hotel De France, seems a nice hotel, we might eat here tonight as we had an early start this morning and are a bit tired Michelle 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted June 24, 2023 #47022 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Afternoon all, we got home from our 4 night cruise this morning, self disembarked so were home about 10am.
