Surely everybody knows, it's in Cornwall, just passed Lostwithiel. !! (Where the pasties grow).

Sorry CF but I'm no wiser. Don't know what FB means or to 'inbox' me. Told you I was a bit dim. I've noticed in my short time on here that a number of contributors use initials, but to me it's almost shorthand. B.

What's the point in putting lol ?? No-one can see if your laughing or not. It would be easier to answer with something like, " laugh, I nearly wet myself !!" That way readers will know you enjoyed something. But maybe I'm being a bit naïve. B.

What does LOL mean anyway? Told you I was missing something Ben. B.

Am I missing something here or is it just a slanging match? It's certainly not a mutual admiration society. But then again, what do I know !!

My only experience of H.H. was getting off the 56/60 bus on wigman road and climbing over the gate then walking round the top to the gate next to bilborough bus depot. Especially when on an early shift. That was back in 1962-66 when I was a conductor then driver.

Once broke down and the RAC man tried to charge me the earth for a tow, but I got my monies worth, "Kept my handbrake full on, all the way !!"

When driving, always remember, " The driver to watch out for is the one behind the one in front and the one in front of the one behind".

On the subject of why, I wonder if the people of Gloccamorra ever wonder how things are with us?

One thing I was told about defensive driving is " when driving down a lane for example, would you like to meet yourself coming the other way??" If your speeding, do you want to meet a speeder coming towards you, don't think so. B.

Told ya Ben ! And thanks Brew, now I know my second cousins are in reality are once removed cousins. You learn something every day. Never liked 'em anyway.

Ben, it would be your second cousin, twice removed. B

It's nearly all lanes where I live and I don't mind cyclists at all except, when they are riding four abreast and you dare'nt risk trying to pass them. A lot of our roads are double lined and the bikes stretch out to the middle. You can guarantee the first time you attempt to pass, you meet some nutcase coming the opposite way who thinks he's immortal. Nuff said.

Passed my test on a double decker bus so got a full licence. It was about five years before I ever touched a car, I was very cautious at first and my missus used to say to me, " what you waiting for ? You can get a bus through that gap". I was used to inching my way through lines of parked vehicles when on the bus and it sort of stuck ! Never realised the freedom. But I never made the mistake of thinking the opposite, I.e getting a bus through a narrow gap. For the record, I loved Fleet lines.

You can fail a test by not observing the speed limit. I was once told by an examiner whilst on advanced course that is referred to as " Failure to progress". Incidentally, I passed. !

I'll second that Col !!

Don't worry Eileen, a duff clutch can happen to anyone. It happened to me once when I drove for A 2 B taxis. Just happened to have Leslie Crowther in the car to take him back to Perry Barr, from Central TV. , Beekay

So you were the one who made me late dried up meal and no microwave.

How did you manage to get a big space like that Carnie ?? You must have a very big laptop.

If that's your car Nonna, its got my initials on it. Thou can keep thee snow though. B.

Thought it always snowed in Utopia. Bathing in sunshine here in Sussex. B.

Some blokes have all the luck !!

You can always scan it and print of a new copy. Put it in a frame and no-one will ever know the difference. Or send copies to me and I'll print up for you. Beekay.

There you go !! Just remember, Carni, "you don't get any fat on thoroughbreds"
