A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

Lovely.

 

There was a real one (6412) in action on the SDR yesterday, too.

Thomas, a couple of months ago. A conspicuous lack of gricers, and lots of wrinklies, crumblies and dusties, with children and grandchildren.

Thankfully I have a few years yet before I join that club but what's the age criteria for being a crumbly/dusty then Dudders ?

Well Dudders was there and I don't think he was one of the children or grandchildren, so draw your own conclusion.

The original definitions of those descriptive terms came from the Sloane Ranger Handbook about 40 years ago. Sadly I lent my copy and it never returned. I think wrinklies were parents, crumblies grandparents and dusties - well, you work it out! I've probably passed the crossover from wrinkly to crumbly, being 70, so as Morty (rot his socks) suggests, I fitted in quite well.

I reckon, based on the two small censored areas, this is either 4063 Daily Star or 4064 Star Bird.

Good to see you keeping abreast of the situation Colin.

According to the lead article in “Good Housekeeping “ this month, J.A. still enjoys an active sex life.

Good on her, although somehow "Good Housekeeping" and "active sex life" don't seem to belong in the same sentence.

I'm not complaining either as I'm having very active sex at 55...…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, this causes problems as I live at number 45.....

Hmm. Not so sure. Presumably if the lady is a good housekeeper and provides a nice environment for her man, she may be rewarded with his ongoing attentions?

 

Still active at 70. I didn't remarry just for Sherry's cooking skills!
