Brew

What you need PF is a half pint mug of good strong Yorkshire tea, milk and one sugar. Guaranteed to make a corpse smile, put hair on your chest and cures every ailment known to man, honest it's true! If i don't have a cuppa first thing the day is ruined. Storms gather, the sun won't shine, dogs growl at me, mothers hide their daughters and nothing will go righ't Have to agree with KJ though, most of the holiday resorts around the Med use Liptons and it's %$$%%&%$ Ooer look what you made me do, spot the feral apostrophe.

Nectar of the gods sir, nectar of the gods.

I've always had a sneaking suspicion that the war of 1776 was not because America wanted independance, or because they call King George a mad fat chump, nor was it their refusal to pay more tax without representation, No sir,no no no, it was because they dumped all our tea in the bloody harbour! Asking for trouble that was...

It seems the full initials are LGBTQIA so by failing to aknowledge them and omiting them you're likely to have upset the gentle souls who class themselves as Q: queer/questioning. I: intersex and the As': asexual/agender/aromantic. I have no idea what an aromantic is or does.

I liked that...

Oh dear PF how sad it is when one realises that a hero has feet of clay.

denshaw the things you have to delete have nothing to with this discussion and as the owner and moderator of a forum in another place I know the sort of things you mean though I'm probably more tolerant. Suffice it to say I don't like censorship. I'll shut up now, sit in my corner, drink my tea and only think politically correct thoughts for the rest of the evening.

Reading the posts again I see nothing insulting, or even close, just people giving their opinion on the topics subject. 'Things that pee you off'

PF Northern Foods was the parent company of Pork Farms, don't know if it still is.

I remeber the trio Compo and the clock, beautiful piece.

Considering Loppys quote: "In a world full of lies, to speak the truth is to be a radical." and Clff tons implied threat , The next post will be on a completely different subject, makes me uncomfortable. Is it me?

Apparently it's true. Just checked real time pollution site (24/10@15:00) and: Sheffield 21 Stoke 22 Birmingham 21 Leicester 15 NOTTINGHAM 34 Strangly some of the highest pollution is in coastal areas, Southamtopn for instance. Only Norwich, London and Plymouth come anywhere near. I wonder where it's all coming from? http://aqicn.org/map/united-kingdom/nottingham-centre/#@g/48.0705/-22.6538/5z

Some don't like..... gasp... TEA?!... good god it's the end of civilisation as we know it...

Plantfit I think you have a pepper mill. Can't find the exact image but this is ver similar: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=perfex+cast+iron+pepper+mill&client=firefox-b&dcr=0&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiOiZvKyonXAhVGL1AKHZmxA8oQsAQIWw&biw=1512&bih=927#imgrc=kaeunjkd9gDxJM:

Is it less salt? or do they process the milk/cream to within an inch of its life and take out the 'good bits'.

That's why I've never rented to students, too many horror stories from other landlords I know. I'm not the sort to take kindly to having my property abused.

We lived there as newlweds. Yes living in the countryside was good but we quickly learned that running out of essentials was a disaster, the nearest shops were a six mile round trip and public transport did not exist out there. Not a bad walk with the pushchair in summer but winter was an altogether different story.

PF you're reading my mind! I've said exactly the same thing since the damn trams were first mooted. Another upside to modern trolley busses is they cost less than half and don't cause chaos for years whilst they rip up roads to install rails.

Yes FLY it's the same family. I lived in the second house after the railway bridge going north. The first house was Bartons managing director. My son was born there and called his wife aunty Barti, nice people to us but no idea what they were like to work for. Next is Big Tythe farm and the next house after that was also was a Barton (Karl I think). Grand old man Barton lived in the grounds of Newstead Abbey.

We were talking about butter the other day, as you do (best butter me mam called it) , and there seemed to be a consensus that the taste of modern butter is not the same as when we were young. Is it just a nostalgia amplified memory or was it really different?

From a fiscal point of view probably an asset. From a social point of view a lot of them are a PITA.

I hope you have declared that as a P11D benefit Mr Mayfield!

Living only a mile or so from Langley Mill I've never heard it. I presumed it was tongue in cheek the way some of us call our wives 'she who must be obeyed'. I've heard women refer to their husband 'my mester' and my Grandma called Grandad 'father'... unless he was in trouble and then was named.

Still use Fluxite and tin/lead solder. Tin the tip by a dip in the Fluxite and then a quick pass down my jeans. Drives her barmy. I used to have a little sponge on the iron holder but lost it long ago.

I'm afraid Catfan that being 'built to last ' is partly the reason for the decline of so many British companies. Too many like Leyland, Foden, Norton, Herbert Morris, Raleigh etc. sat on their laurels and thought 'johnny foreigner' never made things that would last. Meanwhile the competition were catching up and rapidly passing them. I drove Atkinson Borderers with Gardner engines. They were slow, noisy and had brutal suspension. At the end of the day I was kn****d.They gave me a Volvo F86 demonstrator and had to get me out of the cab with a crowbar before I would let them have it back, b
