Chauvinists one and all. Funny how many of them leave the glorious north for the effete south and never go back ;). My family went the other way, two brothers, three cousins, and two nieces all moved north, and wouldn't move south again if you paid them.

Funny how many of them leave the glorious north for the effete south and never go back ;). My wife being one of them. No desire to go back after Rotherham changed the quarry into a Country Park and Sheffield turned the steel works into a shopping centre. She used to miss the weather, though. Apparen...

Congratulations. They look a very happy couple. I hope the parents were as happy and relaxed by the time the Big Day ended. Steve PS: You give 'em away but they keep coming back. The one I gave away 9 years ago is arriving in about an hour with husband, children and an end to a peaceful life ...

Very early 12 inch records were one sided and 80rpm. I wonder why the standard settled on 78 rpm? According to Yale University Library website "Earliest speeds of rotation varied widely, but by 1910 most records were recorded at about 78 to 80 rpm. In 1925, 78.26 rpm was chosen as a standard for mot...

Records, my 29 year old son has a collection of classic 33rpm LPs, but until recently no record player!:wink: Asked why he said that he'd get one eventually. He actually inherited a 1960s Hacker deck and seperate amp/speaker... ...the sound is fantastic and he's now enjoying the likes of Pink ...

Any suggestions for how to train a couple of hop plants in the garden? One of the children gave me a couple for Father's Day. Apparently they grow 30ft per year (cut back to ground level every year too, thank goodness). Got to do something permanent soon, I heeled them in at a temporary spot but the...

Tbh I would go to Lofoten instead of the North Cape - it is a bit of an expensive con imho, but I know it is on many people's bucket list. If you do head up that way make a diversion to Harlingen, and have a cuppa! (or a glass of the local brew :wink:) We are just back fro a few days wandering ...

The way the weather is now Provence looks like winning, but who knows what it will be in September? We'll see. Also thinking about selling the camper, before the bottom drops out of the market, but I am reluctant to let her go. Back in the UK again early October for a reunion in Abingdon. Luckily ...

We've just come back from Col collecting. After the Pyrenees we planned to head east to the Alps, via Mt Ventoux, but sadly that was a Col too far for poor Ruby the campervan. A hot (36C) busy Sunday was all too much for her. A warning light came on saying Engine Malfunction, and she lost power. Giv...

One garden centre here was in full Christmas mode after the kids went back to school in mid August! With the clocks going back this weekend I expect more Christmas stuff around, though we have to get through Sinterklaas first. The supermarkets and most shops concentrate on that before going in to...
