  2. True here I reckon. He’s got 4 nieces and nephews, only one ever visits him and that is about every 2 or 3 months. I hope he leaves it all to the local Cat Rescue!

  3. The Goose Fair mushy peas I remember were cooked in a wide pan on a wood fired brazier type of thing - a 10 (?) gallon oil drum with holes punched in the sides. Plenty of opportunity for smoke and bits of ash to get into the peas and which most likely added to the characteristic flavour. Note: they were nothing without the mint sauce.

  6. At last another election. Whoopee can’t wait. I was stopped in the street a couple of days ago by people canvassing for the Brexit party asking who I would vote for in an election. They obviously knew something we didn’t. Before you ask I said yes and signed his list, bless him he was like a dog with two tails and gave me their leaflet with a picture of Nigel on the front looking statesmenlike, possibly easy to do with the present (I was going to say rabble) lot.

  12. If he does find a will it will have to go to probate to prove the validity. He wouldn’t be able to claim it all for himself. You may even have a ‘mention’ for your kindnesses. If there is no will then the rules of intestacy will kick in to ensure an equitable distribution amongst the next of kin.

  15. Crikey, what a day it’s been so far and we’re only half way through it. For 15 years we’ve had an awkward, cantankerous, but well-educated, bachelor living opposite us. We’ve helped him out when necessary but have tended to keep him at arm’s length as we didn’t want him relying on us too much. In recent years he’s trusted me with his debit card to get cash from the ATM and do bits of shopping, with the rest of his food being delivered by The Cheese Shop in Flying Horse Arcade. This arrangement has suited me fine as I spent several years caring for my Dad and didn’t want or need to ta

  16. Was going to say its a Notts & Derby Traction A1 on its way back to Ripley but that was before we noticed it was a motor bus as well as a trolley. It seems to be an AEC with the usual Notts & Derby/Midland General badge in place of the AEC badge on radiator.

  17. As a kid 30th of October was "Mischievious Night" long before Halloween had any prominence. Who remembers "spirit knocking" by tieing cotton to someone's door knocker hiding nearby and using the cotton to knock on the door? Of course when they opened it there was no one there. Wait a while and do it again, then again and being given away by giggling and getting the usual response "If I catch you little boggers I'll bat yer tabs" Lighting bangers until they fizzed and then dropping them in the sewer hoping they would find a pocket of methane and lift all the manhole covers in the

  20. Re the activities in the surrounding neighbourhood, I live on a main road, with lots of traffic. It's irritating at times when I'm waiting to get out of my drive, and there's constant police / ambulance sirens passing, but that's life. I like to hear people getting on with their everyday activities. Yes, even the neighbours kids playing in the garden. Its nice early in the morning, or late at night, just to hear the world going about its business. The day I can't hear anything, is most likely because I'm in my box !

  23. Do you live in South Africa ? as this is how they used to collect the rubbish over there. Each black was taken out o a large bin, tied then the were left for the tractor and trailer to be picked up, with the help of a young boy, whilst the tractor was moving the boy had to lift the black bag on to his shoulder then throw it onto the trailer, if any boy fell down the tractor would not stop. It just kept moving on.

  24. Good to see the Magpies are currently in the last of the play off spots after a thumping 4 - 0 away win at Woking who were above them in the ladder. Their current goal difference could be a decider at the end of the season.
