Oooh the horror of nasty things - paying the monthly credit card bill.
Is there any wonder that I'm confused. I spoke a few days ago about confusion over my Eon energy account. Eon responded to my poor review on Trust Pilot with a regular avalanche of e mails. Well maybe not an avalanche but at least one a day.
But those emails have come from four different people and I'm no nearer sorting out the situation but I am getting more and more confused.
And so to the next topic. When I do research into a history item, I learn other things on the way. Take the life story I'm writing for my friend Laurie. As part of the document I'm writing for him I have researched some of the people and places (yes that phrase again) that he mentioned in our chat.
That way I have learnt quite a lot about West Ham Football Club and the Exchange and Telegraph organisation. Sometimes when I'm doing that kind of thing it does feel as if I'm getting sidetracked but then I tell myself that I'm actually producing a well rounded picture.

And talking of pictures. I have related the story in the past of the luxury hotel built on land close to Weybourne Railway Station in Norfolk. I won't repeat myself other than to say that the railway station was originally built to serve the hotel which explains why it is a good mile from the village.
The luxury spa hotel never really took off and was eventually knocked down. Yesterday I was looking through various Facebook sites that I subscribe to and somebody had posted photographs of the hotel which I found absolutely fascinating.

Isn't it a faff keeping everything charged up? Interesting word faff.
Seems to sum up having a bag full of charging leads. I get confused about which lead is for my main character, which lead is for the compact, which for the mobile and on and on and on.
How do I get round this problem.

Yesterday I mentioned the closure and intended re opening of Hethersett King's Head and the whole issue was well summed up by regular reader and contributor AB who said "Time now to see whether the people of Hethersett can sustain two pubs in the village" and that really is the essence of the situation.
It would be fair to say that over the past 10 years the King's has had a checkered history. And it's something that seems to be going on and on. It's been going on for far too long. We need the pub to be run by somebody that has a handle on what a community pub should be. This is something that has been lacking for some considerable time.
It certainly is time for a change in attitude. Watch this space.
