Things are changing gradually as we did see a prettied up picture of Jane Austen appearing on a £5 note. That would have been disastrous for many like Elton John who Mitica green five-color jacquard hairy dumplings faux fur fabric would value their privacy.

I am going to miss some more of my favourite department stores, as they shut down one by one! Last year, House of Frasers announced that it was closing down some branches and this year it is Debenhams which says it will close down 19 stores. This does not bode well for the Debenham chain, which has new owners-cum-investors who are trying to see if the store could be made profitable by eliminating those sites that are not doing well. Often, the government can do this all by itself, thank you very much. The competition from online shoppers is becoming intense, leading to other stores such as John Lewis also announcing a dire future. For those of us who could spend many days in the various department stores and their lovely restaurants, this really comes as gloomy news.But to be fair, while we have no photographs of him at the super luxury resort, we must also point out that pictures were tweeted showing him travelling along with girlfriend Carrie Symonds to the resort, economy class.

And on the coin are engraved a handgun, a dagger, a bottle of poison and other deadly symbols culled from her very successful career. Knowing how smart people are these days, the list could have even been sold for profit. Obviously, as a literary country, it is widely accepted that changemakers often are writers — and so the new £2 coin will commemorate the centenary of Agatha Christie’s first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles.The closing down obviously means there are going to be job losses as well. The truth is that anyone curious enough to have opened the website would have got access to all the addresses. And let’s not forget that among the oldest recipients was a 99-year-old war veteran, Wilf Oldham, who had witnessed the Second World War and survived.It looks as though Prime Minister Boris Johnson is out finally to enjoy himself! While US-Iran tensions escalate, he is on holiday on the gorgeous island of Mustique — perhaps just as well, as we do not want another war, and it will be good if the PM remains incommunicado.But importantly the Honours List had a very interesting mix of the famous and the not so well known.Hurrah! Thus far it has always been the Presidents, Prime Ministers and eminent personalities who get their portraits printed on currency.And there is no doubt that Carrie is genuinely thrifty! After Boris was banned, due to security reasons, from riding his bike (as foreign secretary and as Prime Minister), he must have missed his dose of exercise. I am still of the old school, and I love to see and touch the products that I buy. But now he has been given a second-hand motorcycle by Symonds and all are guessing where he could possibly ride it?
