Have been reviewing some of the topics on the Mellish site and comments from Stan The Jockey have me confused. On June 10 2020 he says he was quick on his toes and never got hit, whilst on November 11 2016 he says he was on the School Playing Fields and was hit on the chest every 15 seconds over a period of 10 minutes!

New photo of Harry and Megans sprog. Wonder who Harry sends his Fathers Day Cards to ?

Had a vision of one of those Ginger Beer cultures of years ago, which you could divide and give away,

The reason I mentioned hygiene was that many years ago there was a Hot Dog Seller pitched outside of Boltons Burnden Park, with a permanent "dewdrop" hanging from his nose. Never saw him again after a gang of Chelsea fans pushed his cart over. Perhaps they thought they were performing a public service?, Not!..

When you talk about Hand Washing Beekay, are you alluding to your own personal hygiene or that of the vendors?

Thanks Beekay, I don`t know what the technical term is, but the cartoon morphs into a selection of other cartoons which do have sound.

Thanks Brew, a minor irritation for what appears to be a Musical------there is no sound!

Thanks LizzieM, will do any thing to be rid of the pain.

Hi Beekay I do remember the Sparky song. Was it not sung in an early days Electronic Voice?
