  1. Check out this window. Measure twice cut once springs to mind. Took this on the way home in a GREGGS services, all services oop North are a Greggs services it seems. I looked right as I walked back to the car. Check out the zoomed version
  2. The missing road had mostly reappeared by day 2.
  3. I'd have just said 'This MP died here, people were a bit sad'. But whoever wrote this was paid by the word it seems.
  4. As you may recall I started the journey with a slight case of the trots, so I lived in fear for the first day and a half. Regular visits to the pubs allowed me to take safety farts in the toilets so as not to require the walk of shame back to the rented house for a kecks change. FIRST CLASS CARRIAGE, Third class afterwards. You get a roof in first class but have to provide your own cushion by the look of it.
  5. Went to York for the weekend with some friends. They've had a bit of rain it seems, we had a bit of trouble getting close to the city due to whole roads shut by massive floods. Second picture down (if it doesn't do its usual trick of changing the order) shows a line of bollards where the road usually is. The opposite bank's road has disappeared altogether.
  6. I spotted two young boys standing in the street with no shoes on. I also now understand the comment made in Steptoe and Son when Albert is bemoaning the lack of father's name on his birth certificate and suggesting it may have been the Muffin Man who called round a lot because his mum cried when he died. Harold says that his Dad does have a very flat top to his head. https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/03/01/charles-spurgeons-londoners-o/
  7. There are two old songs that got better for me when used in opening titles. This one and the one below:-
  8. You've got to look out for each other in this weather. I just checked on my 88 year old neighbour to see if she needed anything from the shops. It turned out that she did ...so I gave her my shopping list as well. No point in us both going out in this.
  9. It's true he let me sit on his pride and joy. I had to be lifted on it and then lifted off again afterwards, it was too high for me to manage on my own. This heartening anecdote has been brought to you by Carry On Ltd
  10. You're not catching me out twice. I typed all this a few weeks ago and it disappeared.
  11. This would definitely void his warranty. https://videos.dailymail.co.uk/video/mol/2022/02/15/8466404119318672604/1024x576_MP4_8466404119318672604.mp4
  12. I was just going to say this reminds me of the Puffnstuff film, then I googled it and found out why.
  13. I saw a Pete. Where? There On the stair! Where on the stair? Right there...... A little Pete with clogs on, well I declare, going clip clippity clop on the stairs. Right there.
  14. It's better now that waterproof technology has come on leaps and bounds.
  15. No idea where to start even I suppose,
  16. My mum found out she had a secret sibling somewhere in the UK. She told me she remembers her mum going away on a long holiday at the end of the war, so probably an American soldier was involved. She also found out she had a Greek step brother in Cyprus when her parents wills were sorted out after they died out there a few years ago.
