I once went out to buy a cheap car and went home with a pair of binoculars from Anderson's pawn shop.

Why do you reckon they do it Pianoman? Is it a herd instinct or are folks just desperate to get a wardrobe, along with meatballs and spaghetti.

Welcome Jomino, there's quite a few folks on here who will no doubt answer your queries. I don't know if you've visited the Nottingham transport museum, but it's somewhere I would love to visit, ( being an ex NCT bus driver). Once this CV19 nightmare is over, it will be on my to do list when I visit Nottingham. Hope this will start your search off.

I must be getting really stir crazy. I've just finished painting and decorating a baked bean tin ! My next project is going to be one of the Fray Bentos flat steak and kidney pie tins. Sad or what? Still, should make a halfway decent plant pot tray.

Not all us people are that bad, little sis. Daft maybe, but not bad.

It would appear that some people cannot cope without their shopping fix. It's been on our local news down here as well. It must be the modern trend. And another thing, what's with all this kneeling and fists in the air when on demonstrations? It's seen on tv from America and all the Lemmings follow suit. Just as contagious as CV19.

And to that Margie, you can add a friend in darkest Sussex. PP, who is going to incubate the egg, or have already had it on toast.

We've seen, on different occasions, Howard Keel, Robert Goulet (spelling?) and pretty sure that's where we saw Norman Wisdom, in the show, "Roar of the Greasepaint and smell of the crowd". Also I believe, Des O'connor, Freddie and the dreamers. Had chicken in a basket too!

Thinking of you Nonna. Hope all goes well for you and family.

" Alexa, bloody shut up ! and let me get back to sleep".

Don't let PP hear about chicken salt, it might put him on guard. Maybe you make it like ordinary salt, by boiling down a load of chickens until all the water evaporates, then spread out the residue in the sun and Voila.

You can still do that Nonna. It would probably be better if you did it by pm. I look forward to seeing. Would I have your permission to recreate it, or do you have an objection. Some folks take exception. Regards, B.

Failing that SG., put a plastic model of a peregrine falcon on the table.

I believe it's all to do with the fact that George Formby made a film there, ( Isle of Man) many years ago, called " No Limit". He was supposed to be a motorcycle racer, there for the TT races. His bike was his own build, " the Shuttleworth Snap". This statue is in Douglas, not far from the little steam train station. (Just a bit of useless information).

And another KatyJ...

But do you drag your knuckles on the ground when walking Jill? ( tongue in cheek)

On the subject of statues, which we weren't...

Morning Pianoman, nice motor, but I'd a thought you would have cleared the weeds and grass out of the cracks before photographing your pride and joy. (tongue in cheek).

An' I'll bring the fridge magnets. Although magnets don't adhere very well to wood. Niet Tavarich!

Go the whole hog mate and install a watchtower with a Gatling gun emplacement.

Thank you Lizzie. Did you see the post above with Nonna's view from her gates? That's both sides done now, so be looking for something else. Unless of course, I nip up and give Affergorrit's beach hut a coat of Acrylic.

I had a Ford pop., LL., A 1954 EEB 512. I always thought it were 8hp, if going up Ilkeston road when raining, the wipers used come to a stop. Don't know what that equates to in cc.

Cheers Carni.and CT.and Margie

The other side of Nonnas planter. My sister in law's gaff. In Nottingham.

Or maybe it were right first time.....Big Ender.
