Hope you get better for the weekendOn the mend, very low appetite and lost all my strength. Saw you are back to wheeling about again
I am a little annoyed with my situation but it can't be helped.

Can't help but think of the Merkins wheeling.........
Like @Western Slope Rover does!!!
I'm sure MOL would rather be doing that.
Indeed I would!!Can't help but think of the Merkins wheeling.........

This also annoys me when it comes to all the councils that are closing and have closed green lanes so that those who have to "wheel" in a wheelchair can't "wheel" in a 4x4 to get to see all the lovely views.
W and I used to walk miles in the Yorkshire Dales and other places like the Montagne Noire in France, sadly she no longer can so it used to be nice to be able to take her to nice places on green lanes with the Disco.
Sadly often impossible now.
Grrrrrrr!!!
You must be just as annoyed about it I'd think!

OK, I'll bite and find you a link.
https://scholarworks.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4696&context=etd#:~:text=Comecon (the Council for Mutual,with the Eastern European nations.
Basically the eastern bloc's equivalent of the EEC. Or actually more correctly in many respects the EU, some say it went even further than the EU.
Your Bulgarian friends will remember it!
But i was joking that problems in the EEC would have been mirrored in the old days in Comecon.
(I'll get my gown and mortarboard!!!
It wasn’t a leading confused, I honestly have never heard of it.
I have read a few pages and will read the rest tomorrow, maybe even search abit more
.Thanks J
Ah, "eat", that makes sense now!I will eat a few extra and yous can share them out then all will be fine

It is nowhere as well known as the EU. Well in the "western bloc" anyway!It wasn’t a leading confused, I honestly have never heard of it.

I never knew about it until I started teaching European Studies.
Have fun finding out about it. Don't think it is hugely interesting. What is very interesting is a study of the Stasi and all the other secret police forces in the eastern bloc.
So sad that despite the wall having fallen things seem to have reverted back to where they were, largely,.in Russia. But also in Belarus. Totalitarian state, controlling all media so the "peasants" believe the propaganda. "Nazis under the beds". Recent research shows that although the young Russians don't believe Putin and his cronies' line, the older ones do.
The problem is that those with long memories remember when there really were Nazis in Ukraine as there were in all Eastern states and even in places like Holland and Belgium. See the SS regiments formed from them during the war. Hitler seemed like a way of holding the Commie hordes at bay. Or so it was portrayed. So Putin takes this and runs with it. As well as the younger neo-nazis, who do not help.
tis a horrible mess being exploited by that bald psycho.

There are many here who don’t wish to talk about “those times” even now

That I can totally understand. Peeps in Western Europe think they had it tough.There are many here who don’t wish to talk about “those times” even now

They have no flipping idea compared to those just west of the Russian border, from the Nazis, their own people and the Russians.
I have read and continue to read about the whole area of the war in Europe and I still find things that shock me, and I have been studying this for decades.
It is slowly trickling out. There have been a few documentaries recently to do with the holocaust showing that the numbers do not add up when it comes to the Einsatzgruppen. Simply there is no way that the numbers of German soldiery involved could possibly have rounded up and put to death the numbers of Jews who died as the Germans were pushing east. I have recently finished a biography of Canaris which tells the story very clearly. This must have happened where you are. Prolly best not to poke the wasps' nest!
Off to that there Lunnen to pick up our passports tomoz.
Tis a pain but what else can we do?
Sleep well folks!
