(Greybull), who bought it for a quid a couple of years ago and went to Govt. for a loan only last week because they were skint, but managed to invest £40million in a French steel company. Funny old world. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greybull_Capital Have a track record of this sort of behaviour..400m investment.. boll**ks. Certainly makes me think who are their shareholders! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,532 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just got home this afto from a fantastic girlie week in Corfu, we’ve had so much fun, good food, sunshine, bit of shopping and a just a few alcoholic beverages. Two of us had decided to go and visit a friend who’s lived in Corfu for the past 50 years after marrying a Greek, who sadly passed away a few years ago. She was at the airport to meet us with an ”Ayup” and away we went, a laugh a minute and so much banter. An English friend of hers joined us one night for dinner and she didn’t know what had hit her, this woman sat mesmerised listening to us lot, she thinks she’s posh cos she originates from Guildford!! I then went to vote and was told I was the 500th person to vote in our ward today. Doesn’t sound like a very good turnout does it, this was at about 8pm. I didn’t get a prize but did get told off by one of the ‘workers’ in the Polling Station as I happened to just mention to my husband that he only needed to vote for ONE person as he followed me into the booth. Right, think I’d better get myself a drink now, don’t want to get withdrawal symptoms after this past week! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,246 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Rog, after your pictures of the narrowboat I've finally got round to trying to picture mine. Due to the length of the shell I can't get it all on one shot so just done the cabin. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,246 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 The biggest problem was painting the tiny flowers on the can etc. The helmsman looks like he should be in Village People ! It can be radio controlled with the relevant bits, but I'm afraid I'm not that clever. B. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,299 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Had a lovely walk/scramble on the bank of the River Dove today. Just checking out what work needs doing for the fishing club. There were swarms of Mayfly and fish rising to take them. There was an abundance of large insects flying around, Damsel Flies,Crane Flies, Butterflies and even a moth that looked like a Jersey Moth - first I've seen hereabouts. Sunny day by the river - who needs a fishing rod? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,109 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Back last night from a gorgeous sunny and interesting holiday in France, and found it amazing that NOBODY on the coach ever mentioned B****t, and not one French person we encountered ever mentioned it either. As usual, we were all made to feel most welcome. Yes, I appreciate that they like our spending power, but it was good to be in a different environment for a few days. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,534 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Are they actually bricks on the car ? The patterning on the surface is unusual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,253 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I think it's a sort of brick 'frog' to hold the mortar and stop the bricks from sliding until set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
