I signed up for horse riding  noooo:

Never again  noooo:

When I was 13/14 Southampton Town (as it then was) Council decided they wanted a Zoo. The Chipperfield (Circus) Family offered to help with funding and sure enough Southampton Zoo came into being and was used to house the circus animals during the winter season. Lions, Tigers and the like. There was a selection of other animals housed there throughout the year. The zoo was built at the bottom end of Southampton Common. A young lady, daughter of the then Landlord of the Cowherds Inn, was horse mad and soon made friends with Mary Chipperfield who, at the time, was actually the one in tights who rode the circus horses, doing handstands on their backs etc. I'm sure you have all seen such circus acts. Anywhoo the publican's daughter got to ride the Chipperfield horses on the common to exercise them when they weren't out touring and she taught me to ride a horse ......... as well  eyes:

The Southampton Zoo closed some years ago now and I have long lost contact with the girl in question but I have happy memories of galloping across the Common sans saddle  whistle:

Sorry ~ Completely off topic but ...... well you know how something triggers one's memory.

What's she done anyway? confused:

Been bloody rude.

Her stepmother and her Father live about three miles from her , stepmother is loaded and money has no real meaning. She (stepmother)is a local magistrate, Scout leader and School governor at the private scoool their son my ex and she begat. Believe you me it matters in that family, continue the family name and all that. evil:

It was recently daughter number 3's Birthday and she was bemoaning the fact that the flat that step mother had facilitated had no microwave.

I have a very limited income, less that £800 per month but asked her if she would like a microwave as an early Christmas pressie and she could either upgrade or have something else for her Birthday.  Anyhoo 2 separate things were dispatched and not a thank you or acknowledgement. She did publicly thank her family for taking her out for a 'champagne meal'. That's what you do in Suffolk dahlihg mwah mwah.

I am cross with myself for giving a shite and cross with her because that is not how she was bought up. In her Fathers absence she did  'thank you' letters.  evil:
