Re: [lace-chat] Chip and PIN
Hi, Jean - I read in the paper, when Chip and PIN was very new, about a tiny village shop in a tiny Highland village (goodness knows why they had the device, but maybe it was a trial run). They put the key pad on a shelf on the wall behind the counter, and the customers had to call out their PIN to the shop lady, who was a bit hard of hearing, while she keyed the number in. VBG I know you can't believe everything you read, and this may well be an urban myth, but it amused me. BFN, Margery.

[lace-chat] Copyright
For sometime my DH and I have been tracing letters that are in many universities in the UK, such as Edinburgh, Oxford and Cambridge, these are just a few. Now these letters, some were written by DH great grandfather or written to him by famous people. So far we have not been allowed to see these letters, we do have a copy of an interview he gave to the press in 1861. We have to now make an appointment at the National History Museum. We have to take documentation showing that my DH is the great grandson, then we have to go into discussion. What are we trying to do, put together documentation of a man who led a very interesting life, whose great great great grandson has asked us to find out more about his life. Even though some of these letters were written by a family member we have no automatic right to even see the letters.

Dear Secret Pal in Australia, So sorry for the delay in sending my thanks but your parcel came while I was away and had to pick it up from the sorting office. Thanks once again for the lovely goodies that you sent, they certainly helped to relieve some of the jetlag !! I have not heard of the fish but the magnet is great and has joined my collection on the fridge door !! I love the bobbins and will get them spangled and onto my pillow soon. Thank you also for the toiletries they always come in useful . The fish gift tag will be very handy as it is my sisters birthday on Tuesday and I can use it on her pressie. Thanks once again, Anne Nicholas Hanworth, Middx.

[lace-chat] Well done USA women's soccer team
Congratulations to the USA women's soccer team for winning the gold medal in the Olympics - bet you didn't know you even had a women's soccer team. It was a very good game of football. The UK doesn't enter a team for either the women's or men's soccer because we don't have a Great Britain team for either - we have separate ones for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for all tournaments worldwide, and it would be impossible to get together teams with members from the four countries just for the Olympics.

Re: [lace-chat] Weather report

One local Council has been forced to close two lanes of the swimming pool. Duh? They'll still have water in. I wish I could send you some of the rain from England, and Manchester in particular. Part of the motorway ring road round Manchester was closed due to being flooded two feet deep on Tuesday. It has rained heavily for a long time every day for the past 10 days. I'm starting to get cabin fever from not being able to go for my usual daily 10 mile bike ride. Today was the first day it wasn't raining in the morning, so I went for a ride on the way to work. No rain, but I got thoroughly soaked riding along roads that were still flooded. -- A friend: someone who likes you even after they know you Steph Peters, Manchester, England [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scanned by WinProxy http://www.Ositis.com/ To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
