Memory
Looking back, I feel my 50th year was a lot more memorable than my 60th..

A very large bunch of us, representing every angle of the TT, took over all of the upstairs of that posh Quayside restaurant, we had speeches and dedications, and congratulatory messages came for me from all over the world.....and I got a unique TT50 plaque which had been prepared in advance with my properly spelt name for all to see. (I still have it )

In my 60th year, I got a very nice tankard and a dinner with a few close friends so I think I will remember my 50th more than my 60th.

Now if I can get to 100 years then I might have another posh night out..

To answer your comment, my homestay have been great and have maintained sensible levels, after all I am B & B there, it is food and drink outside where I noticed the hikes.

The Hilton have looked after me for many years since I take people there for evening meals, and the costs have been sensible and the perks have been noteworthy. But go to a cafe or restaurant elsewhere and prices compared with the steady rises we encounter did not stick to a constant and rose very steeply in 2007.

Here's to 2008 so I can compare !
