Having just spent a lovely day with my grandchildren, part of it fending or circumventing difficult questions about Santa-lol, I'm wondering just when is the best age to tell a child that Santa is - now I'm sorry for any of those...

scarlet54 Thank you all for responding to my discussion. I thought it would prove an interesting one and provide a variety of opinions. I think I agree that there is never a best age as such but the child will make the right time clear. When the questions become too...

scarlet54 Yes that's a good one. I've noticed that a lot of people tend to go for something to do with their children. I suppose if they don't have children, they would use pets names. In fact, I expect we will get people saying that. That's if I get any more replies...

Very sad to note that Ray Gravell died on Friday in Spain. He was so young, 56, my age in fact. He was one of the best, in all walks of life and especially as a rugby player. He played for the Scarlets (Llanelli Rugby Club) and...

scarlet54 Were You There? What a beautiful funeral, if funerals can be called beautiful. The sun shone fit to burst and lit up the whole of Stradey. Although dignified it was not solemn all the time, with the likes of Dafydd Iwan Thomas and Gerald Davies telling...

scarlet54 I believe that Ray was a kind of 'Prince' for Wales. He's being lauded like Welsh royalty and quite rightly so. For those who knew him, you'd know how much he was loved and respected. He had a kind word for everyone. Come hell or high water, I hope to be at...

scarlet54 Hello onedollar, A lot of people think it's a secret society of the 'roll your trouser leg up' variety, others think it is only for men but in reality it's neither. It's an organisation made up of business men and women who want to use their business acumen...

scarlet54 Hi killahclaire, Thanks for your reply. Would that be the Rotary Club of Glasgow that meets in your Sports Club? We usually meet once a week for lunch in a local hotel. Perhaps they can only meet in the evenings? People often do not realise how much...

scarlet54 Hi nishdan01, Thank you for your reply. Your son, if it is he in your photo, looks a little young to be doing competitions. They do have competitions for children but usually for crayoning in a picture or doing a puzzle. He looks a lovely little boy and I...

scarlet54 Hi Arrgophil, There are several magazines in the UK devoted to comping, I subscribe to two 'Winner's Friend' and 'Simply Prizes'. I usually put a selection on my website on the Hobbies and Interests page but I'm afraid they are mostly for the UK. I have...

scarlet54 Hi lifeoriley, Great to talk to you. Yes I know what you mean about people thinking you're mad event trying because 'nobody ever wins these things'! I used to say they won't if they don't try. Like you, as soon as I started winning they all wanted to have a...
