Beekay

Come to think of it, I only suggested MrsB a while ago as a possibility. But she seems to have taken to it like the proverbial duck to water. I look forward to making your acquaintence Mrs Butterfly.

Too right sunshine ! Trouble is, when I get up there, all the bloody fruit will be gone. I shall have to call in Morrisons or Aldi in Nottingham, on my way and buy my pears there. Still, it's the thought that counts int it Ian.

And I wish you all the very best to you both Lets. We celebrated our Golden back in 2015 up at Thoresby hall when we planted a pear tree and go back to see it every year. So you were virtually childhood sweethearts, and long may it last. You'll have to PM me the date, so I can send you an anniversary card. B.

Did you marry a child bride then Lets ?

Spent quite bit of my secondary school years at Cottesmore. Radford blvd., used part of it as extra classrooms. Not only that but that was also where we went for school dinners. At one time my mum got a job as a kitchen assistant, when I stayed for dinners, my mum would come out into the dining area and shout 'Barrie do ya want some more taters, veg, or custard eg'. I would look for corner to hide in. ( She was the same if she got on my bus, then tell everbody "That's my son drivin' "! ! )

Where do I send my begging letter Col? It will help get out of Angola.

Just to add my two pennorth. I have just signed the pensioner petition too. Must admit though, I knew bugger all about it.

You ought to approach him Phil, and say.." Your'e the man from the mirror and I claim my £5.00 ".

My shed was called...'La casa del Perro'.

I remember seeing a truck called 'The Lincolnshire Poacher', can't remember the firms name but their trucks were ALL Lincolnshire somethings.

I was curious with that one as well Oz.??

An' I wonder where you got that from? Have yuz finished it yet.

Whoopee , summat different. How come the magneto won't get damp in your shed? Have you done something to damproof it? A comfy mancave.

Leave it out Loppy. I'm owd enough to be your big brother.

Tis a bit quiet on yer. Unless your'e into politics.

@MRS B, Yes'm, all being well I'll be coming up on the 11th, so I don't have to rush to the meet up. Only sorry I cannot get to the March meet up. Could've visited a cousin Iv'e never met before, but all being hopeful, will make time to see her in Dec.

@MRS B, Right oh Mrs. Lady. I'll make sure to bring me own knife, fork n spoon, with me own plate, ( all suitably labelled with me name). Assuming 'er indoors lets me come that is). By the way, I'll be going up to Thoresby the day after.

I have Rog. Have booked my annual pilgrimage to Thoresby Hall for December 13th. So all being well, I should be able to attend the meet up on the 12th, if that gets finalised.

@IAN FINN, Nah, mate, my scar goes across the terrain, Port to Starboard and not Aft to Stern. It's what happens when you bite too hard !

Now we know where Al Capone got his nickname.

As Brew kindly brought up the subject of scars, Iv'e got one on me wrist too, where I smashed a 'flu tube and a piece shot in the air and trying to protect my head, I raised my arms and the piece caught on my wrist..8 stitches, thank you doctor. But me best scar is right across my tongue, where I bit it in half. Result...7 stitches !

Could have been worse Kath. Could have been 'Stinkin Bishop'.

@mary1947, your'e doing well if you can remember events occuring in the year you were born. I can't remember what I did last Thursday

Don't shatter the poor man illusions Phil. Rather like the sound of a fridge named after me. Iv'e got a Bekay electric cooker, ( but not used since getting me air fryers ).

Not to worry Cherub. I'll send you a rain check so you can use it another time. Enjoy today petal.x
