In 410 AD Emperor Constantine III withdrew the whole of the Roman army to fend off the Barbarians who had recently invaded the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, the Anglo Saxons who succeeded them lacked the skills or the motivation to maintain the civilisation that they had inherited and it fell into disrepair. So, the question should really be “what did we do with the things that the Romans gave us”. I leave you to make up your own mind on this. Alf Bennett Just be careful because people are going crazy from being in lock down! Actually I've just been talking about this with the microwave and toaster while drinking coffee and we all agreed that things are getting bad. I didn't mention anything to the washing machine as she puts a different spin on everything. Certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant. In the end the iron straightened me out as she said everything will be ne, no situation is too pressing. The vacuum was very unsympathetic... told me to just suck it up, but the fan was more optimistic and hoped it would all soon blow over! The toilet looked a bit ushed when I asked its opinion and didn’t say anything but the door knob told me to get a grip. The front door said I was unhinged and so the curtains told me to ...yes, you guessed it ...pull myself together. Take care and stay safe folks...

This was their response: ‘We have had many charities nominated this year and we are delighted to say that we are able to support LIVErNORTH with a donation of £5,000.’
Woo Hoo - well done Marian and many thanks to the North Group P&I Club. We will be writing to you to say thank you formally. Thank you so much for your support in these difcult times. LIVErNEWS Issue 74 ~
