Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
My happy is someone else's loss: I went to park my trolley at Sainsbury's and there was a trolley not docked that still had a quid in the slot.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
My local Tesco was handing out Happy Mother's Day potted plants FREE.Obviously they were unable to sell them all in time. Very nice gesture all the same.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Good employers keep their valuable employees. Those that treat them as a disposable commodity have a high turnover of staff.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Yup - old mantra
Look after your staff
They'll look after your customers
Happy customers spend more and/or tell their friends

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Made bread today. Been rather lazy recently and buying it. Now there's a limited selection I thought I'd make my own multi-seeded loaf again. Good thing I keep a stock of the items to make this.
A cheering smell, fresh baked bread, in these dark times.

So you did not have much problem getting yeast then heero as we cannot get it for love or money.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I have an almost full tin of dried yeast in the fridge. None to be had in the supermarket today though.
