  1. Thinking of you Nonna. Hope all goes well for you and family.
  2. " Alexa, bloody shut up ! and let me get back to sleep".
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Failing that SG., put a plastic model of a peregrine falcon on the table.
  6. 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).
  7. But do you drag your knuckles on the ground when walking Jill? ( tongue in cheek)
  8. 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).
  9. An' I'll bring the fridge magnets. Although magnets don't adhere very well to wood. Niet Tavarich!
  10. Go the whole hog mate and install a watchtower with a Gatling gun emplacement.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. The other side of Nonnas planter. My sister in law's gaff. In Nottingham.
  14. Or maybe it were right first time.....Big Ender.
  15. Talking of horse power, I used to have a little Seagull 4hp outboard engine for my day boat. It were donkeys years old.
  16. Hope that don't include me TG ยก
  17. Good news MD., glad to hear things are moving, albeit slowly. Here's hoping you get the Visa ok and you'll soon be reunited. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed. Good luck mate, B 'n T.
  18. Not really bothered Phil. Matters not to me whether it's a Rover or a Ford Popular. Who makes/made Sunbeam, I wouldn't know. Last thing I want is to get into a disagreement over a car. Just passing on what I'd read. Cheers Phil. Edit...Just had another look and your right= " Unknown Rover, black, 1947." Maybe I could have a wrong digit in by mistake. My sincere apologies to you sir.
  19. I looked up the reg no., on mr. Google and said Sunbeam, black, 1951. Unless I read it wrong.
  20. Worra baht Bakersfield? Will that become workpersonsfield?
  21. Is there anything we can do nowadays? Without offending some bugger !!
  22. Wonder how long it will be before 'Allo, Allo bites the dust?
