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

Come on Rob........Pannier Parade.

P

 

Here's a Pannier Parade, although probably not what you had in mind, but it is in Devon:

 

 

 

1st Battalion The Rifles on parade in Barnstaple Pannier Market whilst exercising it's Freedom of the Town of Barnstaple in April 2012, presumably a "nod" to the former Devonshire and Dorset Regiment which was amalgamated into The Rifles some years earlier

 

I can't help thinking that the Pannier Market bears a passing resemblance to an early Brunelian Train Shed.

Sorry Spams but that is a Nodding Donkey (OK it has a pair of old baskets but that's cheating).

Arsenal!

 

Fresh trousers please.

Phil I think we are supposed to look past the Donkey-

 

Pannier -

1. 1.

   a basket, especially one of a pair carried by a beast of burden.

   • each of a pair of bags or boxes fitted on either side of the rear wheel of a bicycle or motorcycle.
2. 2.

   historical

   part of a skirt looped up round the hips.

   • a frame supporting a pannier of a skirt.

You're three weeks too late for any little donkey scene in the nativity play.

That's not a very lady-like way to sit...

[The Blue Streak]

Crikey the framework is like the Forth Bridge.

The things one see's when googling Pannier.

[gwrrob]

If you Google pannier, A Nod To Brent you get all sorts of rubbish....

"One can conceal several fun loving fellows under this outfit" was the USP strapline  for this advert. 

I have no idea how to shop for a photo so I'll make do with silly captions.....sorry.

The Marlow Donkey doesn't need any panniers. Thank goodness.

Andy "old", surely not?
