Still Thursday.

Ann has just got home. She and Brenda and Judy have travelled up to Diss (in Norfolk) today, using their Senior Citizens' 'bus passes. I used mine a great deal yesterday and the day before in London - it's a great scheme. Talking of Diss, some years ago daughter Ruth and I were walking through Diss when we saw a sign over a shop door that amused us. It called itself Diss Services !! We then came up with a word game that can be played in the car. It is called the Diss game. You describe what a company supplies to the public, and why it works (or doesn't), then the other players have to guess the name of the firm. Couple of examples :- A soft furnishing company in the Norfolk Town, it had lots of new ideas - Diss Coveries; The town football team which wasn't a bad team, but never quite got the idea of the team spirit - Diss United ; a head hunting firm whose recommended employees didn't always live up to expectations - Diss Appointments. You get the idea I'm sure. To be played by families on long car journeys. Better knock off now - choir practice this evening.
