[Mind's Eye] Re: Machines Of Loving Grace

Daft old sods like us Allan have taken to meeting up in places like
Friends Meeting Houses. Coffee sucks and you can't get a bit of a
chill from the smoke. I spent some time at my grandson's school today
and concluded it was one horrible child-minding set up. Sue is out
there at the moment to see if there are any alternatives - I know
there aren't any. This is the type of stuff I'd like a vote on. The
economics of the politicians is that of a rich few and I'm bored with
it. My lad isn't stupid but is unusual.
