  1. Really good news nonna................. BUT it does NOT mean you don't have to take things easy!............. Chill out, you know it makes sense..
  2. Perhaps if you researched the actual risks involved with a nuclear power plant you would be surprised to learn just how small they. It's a fact, for an instance, that more radioactivity is emitted from Ratcliffes chimney than any leakage from a nuclear plant.
  3. You must have more money than sense RR! Do people really lash out 300 quid?... and there's a minimum spend limit... No wonder Mellors is a rich man..
  4. Just looked on Google and saw the 25% gradient sign, bet it's a bugger in Winter...
  5. They are good Col, tip: take your time! Don't try using it the same as a vacuum cleaner, go S L O W and give it time to work. Be prepared to be amazed at the amount of muck it gets out.
  6. Put it down to old age and stupidity when a wrote North in stead of South... I did say South later in the post, does that count?
  7. If you go to Google Earth and find Bobbers Mill Cafe you can still see where the crossing was before the bridge went up. There is a pedestrian bridge crossing there now.
  8. Don't believe all the hype about solar panels. The maximum output they quote is for a clear blue sky and only for about four hours. Your roof must face true North (not magnetic North 'ala your compass) to get the best performance. They are a good idea and many post about how good they are but in truth they are not as good as the salesmen claim. The payback period is open to argument depending on the deal they offer. The original Feed In Tariff was 41p per kWH for 25 years, the money coming from the 10% surcharge on everyone's energy bill. As of April this year the
  9. I quite agree Ben. I have never had much interest in football but out of curiosity watched the US v France game. I enjoyed it. No girly stuff, just good football. Accurate passes, no rolling around on the floor for ten minutes and NO spitting which made a nice change. I think the lack of male ego possibly makes for a better team game. I strongly suspect they would crucify any of our local teams.
  10. Not free but subsidised cavity wall and the loft I paid for. A point I'd like to make, insist on an AM appointment. They did mine late on and said there was ' just about' enough material to do my house. I had access to an infra red camera at work, used it as a scanner and the house looked like a Dalmatian! They were wrong. there was not enough in the hopper. Much huffing and puffing and it never was done properly.
  11. Not thought of filters on the inlet pipe nonna?
  12. It might be they didn't want Grandma seeing them making fools of themselves and earning your disapproval.
  13. What no more morning coffee at 'spoons? dear me, how the world is changing
  14. An unfortunate turn of phrase given the subject don't you think?
  15. Pleased to see you here again Ben and hope things start to settle down a bit. Seems a few of us have been in the wars of late, hopefully there will be no more for awhile and we get on...
  16. I lived in one and yes it's still in existence and yes the window is still bricked up.. Quite why the door was also bricked up and creating a secret room no one knows
  17. So did I but it seems it's universally ignored or the profits they make far exceed the fines they get. I'm always surprised at how easily these people lie. I challenged one recently and he quite blatantly said there is no check on your statement so a white lie can make me a thousand pounds and if I don't claim it the other party will. Being the good soul he is he would rather I as the innocent party had it and not the other guy.
  18. I've cracked that, I'm taking travellers cheques...
  19. Brew

    Why?

    Several things continue to grow as we age although turning 40 was a big disappointment. My waist line is trying it's best to make up for it.
  20. Brew

    Why?

    Apart from keeping hairdressers in luxury lifestyles why do we have any hair at all...
  21. Congrats and many more of them...
  22. Sounds daft but my ears. especially the left one itch quite a lot and have done for a good few years now - very irritating..
  23. I did one, said nowt idea about me age but definitely mental...
  24. Speak fer yer sen young Sparrrow, in me 'ead I'm only 20 so there!
  25. I hope all goes well for nonna and Margie's dearly beloved, it all sound quite confusing. My brother (56) has pains in his feet and right side of his head. At my insistence he went to the docs who immediately ordered him to hospital for MRI and whatever else they needed to do. It's a good job there was nothing more serious than a trapped nerve, he and his partner sat there for 19 hours! before they decided to keep him in for observation. To say he was a little grumpy is something of an understatement.
