Been in UK a few weeks now and trying to catch up,, All I'm seeing is so many obituaries. God rest their souls. Never seen so many in all these years.

Wow, Lilli, who has gone. I knew only of Marta French - who else. i haven't seen the paper, but it does make one realise the next obituary could be one's own. scary. Unfortunatley message 2, not everyone DOES get old. Ilost my best friend at the age of 27 with a brain tumour, but the one certainty from birth is that we will die. Maybe the message is to LIVE each day as if it is your last.

An aging ex-pat population. One can't expect any thing else.

But I'm still hanging in there !

Marion;



Obviously you've stopped reading CT in the shops but does this mean you're still not buying?



Tsk tsk, I'll have to stop buying wherever you are now, is it the Star?
