Myself and 3 <BR/>more neighbours..and my Dad, made 4 trips with a trailer to the hall to fill <BR/>and deliver the bags only to receive verbal from a couple of people for <BR/>looking after ourselves... these narrow minded people only had to ask what <BR/>we were doing and they could have had help too... Thanks again Paul BuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
