Blimey - just like Pot Noodle - add boiling water , stir , throw away contents and eat container !!!

Never had the nerve to try the Risotto - I think the Chow Mein belonged to a friend !!

Hear hear for Gritish Bass - I been with their contract for the life of the boiler - 22 years now - they even sent a "lady" engineer out on Boxing Day one year `cos Jo was on her own in the house ( me working ! ).They say as long as the parts are available - they will fix it - it`s a Baxi and built like a tank.

Good luck with the new one TT - I`ve sent Cyril with a barrel of brandy round his neck - should be there by Spring !

Tony

Nice to be part of the comp regardless of entries or results - many thanks for the judging and the comments - well done Aliengrove and JudithAnn and Glynn.

PS loved the "stick story"

Tony

Ah - JPS - the livery I had my Lotus 7 Mk III done out in - happy days !!

When we were married in Torquay , the company said they didn`t want a married relief hotel manager - bye bye ! So we stayed with my sister-inlaw in Richmond for a few months,then Wembley and finally got the job of Chef manager & wife at the Pigeons.
It was owned by Ken Micah who also had the Albright Hussey at Bomere Heath.We had a very happy 2 1/2 years there before he "tested the market" !! and sold it for 4 times what he paid 2 years previously as sitting tenant - bye bye !!
Those were the days - power strikes/cuts - decimalisation - £25 per week joint salary and a bonus of £5 in hand if we had a good trading week ( cinema for 2 and two meals at the Berni Inn AND change ).No mains drains,street lighting or refuse collections,next door to a pig farm and 1 (empty) fire extinguisher ( pre 1974 regs ).
Oswestry market on a Saturday afternoon buying "duff" fruit for the fruit salad and the best cheeses I have ever tasted !!

Lovely place,lovely people,lovely memories ( especially Kynaston`s cave and potting pigeon for the menu with my BSA Airsporter ! )

Went back about 4 years ago - bit off the beaten track now - nice pate and strange to see the modernisation - we used to have Kevin Keegan and Robert Hardy and Percy Thrower as customers !

Memory lane eh ??

Tony

Hi TT and robbie - we never had much snow when we were in Nesscliffe back in 1972/3/4 at the Old Three Pigeons.

The mascots are my little lad/lady Cyril/Cyrille the Wirral squirrel who taps on the window daily for a hand feeding of peanuts in their shells.....we now have three "offspring" who are smaller chubbier and possibly males who have learned about the "open window feeding" trick !!

I will endeavour to produce some recent shots ASAP.

robbie see this thread p 319 for the "mascot" latest shot ! p309 for a couple more.
