[
I can’t clear my mind of this recent incident,
when I instantly became highly suspicious of
someone without any justifiable cause. Such
is the power of the media, which lurks in our
thoughts waiting to spring out with a
judgement. This is what happened. I had
arranged for my car to have its first ever service with the dealer who
supplied it. I asked for the car to be collected and returned,
accepting that this would incur a charge. The day before the service
and on the morning of the service, I had 2 more calls from the
service department and the arrangements were confirmed. The car
would be collected, serviced, given a valetting clean and returned
and the driver was on his way.
In due course a guy knocked on the door. He was decidedly taciturn
and hadn’t done the customer care training, but he did have a
magenta slip folder with two pieces of paper clearly emanating from
the service department of the dealership with my name and
address, the car registration and the processes I had requested. I
was asked to sign both pieces. I read what I was signing about and
duly signed. The car was inspected for damage and I signed
another piece of paper. I gave him the key and this decidedly
uncommunicative man drove off in my car. I didn’t have copies of
any of these papers. So far so good.
At least 2 hours later another man knocked on the door and said he
had come to collect my car and where was it?. I said it had already
been collected. This man who had papers with my name, address
and details of the car and the dealership, but which bore no
resemblance to those I had signed, phoned his boss at the
workshop. They did not have the car.

A heart stopping moment! My instant conclusion was, my car had
been stolen and I had been scammed by a con man. It was obvious
that the taciturn uncommunicative guy had acquired my details and
made off with my beautiful car. I am standing dazed with these
thoughts racing through my mind and wondering what I should do
next. The second man was busy making phone calls to no avail.
When he next spoke to me, he said his boss in Grays confirmed my
car definitely was not there. I realised then that I had dealt with the
Enfield branch. A phone call to Enfield confirmed they had my car.
It seems the confusion was down to the call centre booking system.
I eventually got the car back and was not charged for the collection
service and clean as recompense for the trouble and distress. But I
am left with this very uncomfortable guilty feeling about how quickly
and completely I damned the first guy in my mind. Too much TV!

GROUP NEWS
Phil Joiner writes: It’s amazing how quickly the
summer has gone by and the BOULES group
will be playing for the last time this year on
October 2nd. We have averaged about 15
people per session and we enjoy great
‘camaraderie’ and it was ‘beaucoup de plaisir
pour tout le monde.’ Although it is very
competitive, with certificates given to the winners each month, most of
the time it is sheer luck, apart from our ‘professional’, Gordon Brown,
who plays every week on the same pitch and instructs us how to
‘bomb drop’ and take out the boules of the opponent, rather than our
more delicate attempts to get near the ‘Cochonnet’.(or ‘Jack’ to most
of us). We will continue our ‘Petanque’ efforts again next April.

Rhonda Anderson writes: SEW CRAFTY group are
planning to make a quilt for charity. Members are
working on their own various projects and it will be a
challenge to see how we can make a group quilt come
together in a relatively short period of time. The quilt
shown here was designed by Janet Goddard and I made it with her
over 3 Saturday workshops, spread out over several months and this
quilt languished around in pieces for about 10 years. Finally after
many ups and downs, the Marsh Quilters' exhibition in June this year
was the deadline that pushed me to complete it. It feels like a big
achievement to have completed it and I am not giving this one away!!

The subject of the ENJOYING OPERA meeting in
October is Puccini’s opera Tosca. In November it is
planned to have a DVD. If you are interested in joining
contact Keith Brame on 020 8505 1426. We meet in the
morning on the 3rd and in the afternoon on the 4th

Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to your rice to keep it fluffy.
After boiling pasta or rice keep the water for your plants.
Check how fresh your eggs are by placing in 4” of cold water. If
they float they are past their fresh stage.
Wine is the answer. What is the question?
IDEAS FOR NEW GROUPS
BEGINNERS DUTCH
One of our members would like to learn Dutch,
as a member of his family lives in the
Netherlands. If you would be interested in
learning, or have the expertise to share your
knowledge with others, please contact Val
Brame, Groups Coordinator 1, details on page 1.

CYCLING
We have a keen cyclist in our midst who
would be willing to convene a cycling
group. He tells me that initially the
outings would be 10 miles and then
dependent on the ability of the group
members it could become more
adventurous. Contact Val Brame for more details.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
Editor writes: My wife and I visited the
recording of the Antiques Road Show on
31st August at The Town Hall, Walthamstow.
The picture shows the huge number of
people who attended to have their items
valued. The queues stretched a long way,
even at 9.00 a.m. although we arrived at the
‘valuation’ table within an hour. We had brought along a reception
invitation to celebrate the conquering of Everest in 1953, signed by
all the expedition members, including Sir Edmund Hilary. We were
thrilled to be interviewed by expert Paul Atterbury for 20 minutes,
but alas, we were not filmed for the show. However, he gave us a
valuation of about £1,000 for our item. People behind us in the
queue were filmed with Fiona Bruce, so we now look forward to
seeing the show on TV, hopefully later this year.

OUR OWN SHIRLEY VALENTINE!
Our WWU3A member, Shirley Cirsch, (maiden
name Valentine!) was thrust into the limelight
by appearing on the TV programme ‘Got to
Dance’ on Sky HD on August 16th. She tells
us: ‘I saw an advert for the show and I thought
that if I don’t go for it now, I never will. Lots of
people make idiots of themselves on Britain’s Got Talent, but I’ve
never seen any fools on Got to Dance, so I thought, now’s my
chance. and I needed the exercise! I performed a dance inspired by
Isadora Duncan, well known for her penchant for performing with
scarves. I’ve had no professional dance training and there were
120 acts, all young enough to be my grandchildren. I knew I wasn’t
going to get through, but wanted to prove that just because we are
old, doesn’t mean we have lost our sense of enjoying ourselves.
Even the judges had a good laugh!
Some think that when you get to my age (not disclosed!) that’s it,
but it’s not. I play bridge, travel, collect miniature shoes and I’ve got
a parrot called Bastard and now I’ve been on the television. Life’s
too short to be boring, you’ve got to grab it with both hands.’
______________________________________________________
Sylvia Law has kindly volunteered to arrange not one, but two
theatre trips for next year. As with most shows, in order to get good
seats, tickets have to be ordered, and paid for well in advance.
The first show is the matinee of ‘The Lion King’
on Wednesday January 21st 2015 at the
Lyceum Theatre at 2.30 p.m. Top price tickets
are £65.50, but we only have to pay £33.50. The
story line is not just for children and the
costumes are magnificent.
______________________________________________________
The second show will be a production of
‘Shakespeare in Love’ at 2.30 p.m. on
Wednesday April 22nd 2015 at the Noël
Coward Theatre with a ticket reduction from
£59.50 to £39.50.
You will be able to sign up for both of these shows with Sylvia at the
th
U3A Meeting on October 7 , or contact her on 0208 551 2739 or by
email at [email protected]. Tickets must be paid for in
advance. Cheques payable to Wanstead & Woodford U3A.

Bernice Butcher writes: Get ready for a
swinging time in Woodford when the
greater Woodford area will be host to
nine days of Festival events, in over 30
different locations, celebrating the
wealth of local talent. George Lane in
South Woodford will start things off, with a selection of the Festival
