..... and then there’s the disposal of the box. I usually set fire to these in the back orchard on our bonfire site but you might draw attention to yourselves if you do that in your close!

A man went for a hearing test with a banana stuck in one ear and a sponge cake stuck in the other. They said he was a trifle deaf.

You know full well what that means!

The first one I've never heard in these parts. The second one is still in common use.

I’ve got a decent Nikon camera with built in zoom which I bought some years ago. I’m sure it’s now been superseded by a later model. I used it once on a trip to Scotland but it’s been sitting in a cupboard ever since. The problem with ‘proper’ cameras is that you have to lug them around whereas the ‘phone ones are always in your pocket and are now of a very high standard. A proper modern camera is still much better and more versatile however. Seeing those pictures has prompted me to charge mine up and photograph the abundant wildlife around here.

Yes, this was Tom Robinson’s nursery. They had a couple of floristry shops in Nottingham. I think one was just over Trent Bridge. Robinson used to live in Thurgarton.

Maybe even B**** Balled

Closer to B****burn

No.

What do they call that seaside place in Lancashire with the annual illuminations now?

Couldn’t put the golly on the jar now though. How times have changed!

I've seen Eric Pollard in Waitrose as well! He's moved from Norwell now.

The last time I saw him he was running a wine bar in Trinity Square. He ultimately had a printing and box making company in the old Bairns Wear factory.

I think most people live in a barn in Norwell. It's that sort of place! Eric Pollard from Emmerdale used to live there and you may remember Jeremy Gisborne, Margie, from Arno Vale school days, who resides there.

I'll look that up Margie. Our daughter lives in a barn conversion in Norwell. A very beautiful village in a conservation area.

Nearby but not on the route. Straight up the A1 through Cromwell once I've passed through Kelham and Muskham. I know Laxton well. They still have the open field farming system. I always feel a bit 'iffy' when I see the sign 'Welcome to the Holocaust Centre'.

I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else despite the hardships and sacrifices of rural living. I look out of the bedroom window across our green meadow to the Trent Hills in the distant. No sign of human life. I’ve driven to places as far apart as Bingham and Tuxford today. I’m going to Norwell tomorrow; if anyone knows where that is.

Netherfield isn’t particularly agricultural. More chance of catching those diseases out here!

I’ve only got a moderately sore arm after walking out of the surgery without waiting for 15 minutes. Heaven knows what germs I might have picked up by sitting shoulder to shoulder with the good people of Netherfield!

It’s been discontinued like so many products that used to be effective. Perhaps now we’re out of Europe it may return. You can now buy pork chops with a kidney in. They were banned under EEC regs for mixing meat with offal.

I had a chat with him once in the newsagents at Heathrow airport. He was wearing a hugh fluffy teddy bear fur coat.

I’m talking distances of over ten miles offered to me. Only reachable by car or a three mile walk to a ‘bus stop and then make my own way from Nottingham. Trains infrequently stop here during the day.

Much further away than you expected I would guess. The system is not 'user friendly.

I left immediately after the jab because the chairs in both the waiting and recovery areas were closely packed together; far closer than the recommended social distance. People were sitting shoulder to shoulder. I thought it was disgraceful for a medical establishment.

I’ve just had mine at a swish new medical centre in Netherfield. It looks out of place surrounded by the rows of terraced houses. Nowhere to park on site of course. I had to wait 45 minutes beyond my allotted time and then they told me I had to sit down for 15 minutes. ‘No way’, I said and cleared off. I was given Pfizer again like my previous two doses. They told me it was the most effective. I didn’t argue. The booster arrangements are a shambles compared with the efficient appointments I attended previously. I now find, on the grapevine, that they are doing jabs at Brackenhurst College, abo
