  1. Teignmouth to Luton takes about 15 mins.
  2. Calm down dear. It's not as bad as this amazing Facebook post a few days ago.
  3. There was this one. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1583778/Satnav-takes-Earls-daughter-to-wrong-Stamford-Bridge.html
  4. Howay man, do you need a rub down with the Radio Times as well?
  5. In the latter part of the 1800's (IIRC) several members of my genealogical clan departed Enfield for Erith. I have always wondered what the attraction was. Did a big employment opportunity open up there?
  6. 2 mix-ups I had as an SR guard were the squaddie that needed to be back in Sleaford barracks and was enroute to Lewes to change for Seaford. The other was a a foreign student who flew into Gatwick and needed to get to Goring but was sold a ticket to Goring by Sea.
  7. Reminded me of the old, "I say Dai could you tell me the way to Llantrisant?" "How do you know my name is Dai?" " I guessed" "Well guess your way to Llantrisant." Better being born in bed in Bedworth than being born in ............
  8. And some of the quotes come with a timing. In a months time will the price of the door and it's fitting really have gone north so substantially that the quote has to be given a sell by date like dodgy ham.
  9. Thanks for that bhoyo. An image I won't forget. Seaweed cider anyone? Untouched by humans, only by the cloven toes of lovely Welsh maidens. And now for something completely different. Seaweed haggis.
  10. representing mo'fo's everywhere
  11. The trouble with this notion is sometimes the service provider is the only one in the area. Probably not in Tony's case, but in a more rural area. We had a milkman that couldn't be ar**d to open the gate, he just left it "available". He was the only milkman in our area.
  12. I got a quote. Over the phone. He didn't do a site visit. I didn't use him. I did think of asking him for an electric roller door. Our electric supply is 80 metres away.
  13. The Thames Eyot featured on a house buying tv prog some years ago.
  14. Rain threatens here in sunny Teignmouth. Spent most of yesterday investigating a curious link I found by chance in my genealogy. Whilst investigating that I got hooked by the London pub site which lead me laterally into more research on a different family. Good to see you back Gavin, hope you had a good break.
  15. It's similar here in Teignmouth, I can't find a fish frikadellen anywhere.
  16. Been doing it wrong all these years apparently. Curry, rice, Naan & poppadums, sometimes replacing Naan for stuffed paratha. If visiting an Indian restaurant I also have to eat all the lime pickle in the little dish.
  17. Bugritt, Lumpitt & Sawdorf
  18. Wales should have seaweed cider. I can visualise women in tall black hats treading it down barefooted and producing a lovely green brew
  19. defending criminals everywhere
  20. Can anyone explain the science please. Using a metal nyleska/pot scourer to clean oven shelves that are undamaged, how do the loops of the scourer get entangled onto the shelving? If you pull it does not come free without breaking the nyleska loops. It only becomes free by exerting force. It's sunny in sunny Teignmouth today and the heating is off indoors. Key Lime Pie cooked for dessert later and oven cleaned.
  21. As is the pc need these days what would "transitioning" & "gender neutral" be? Just in case I need to refer to one.
