Very moving.

My Polish dentist is very happy to stay here in one of the most strongly leave-voting areas of the country. He fits in, he does a valued job, as part of the almost wholly white British local community. He does not seem to have allowed himself to be misinformed about "not being welcome".

#Melly - perhaps the decision of just one person doesn't make much difference in the greater scheme of things, but it is nonetheless unutterably sad that even that one person has felt that he isn't welcome in our country any longer. Someone or something has made him come to that decision. And that someone or something is symptomatic of what has been going wrong in our country in recent years.

It's just not right and anyone with attitudes that have put this poor optometrist off staying here are most certainly not doing so in my name.

#g.r.king  - I wonder then, exactly who or what is responsible for this optometrist feeling the way he does. Making a decision to move to another country is surely not something that anyone would take lightly. Good to hear that your dentist feels OK about continuing to live here, that is precisely how it should be.

I'm going to brave the garage tomorrow afternoon to spray some coaches and the Manor, far too hot to work on the layout.

Tiger rolls back the years.

Not sure if you're referring to the golf or the patrons....

Great golf and lots of knobbly knees!

75 years ago - brave men one and all.

I went to Stalag Luft 3 a few years ago.  The tunnel is marked a small inscribed with the names of the escapers.  Seeing it, you appreciate the length.  By the entrance, there's a mock-up of tunnel.  Its unpleasantly small.  Traversing 300+ feet 30 feet down must have been hellish.  Brave men indeed.

Would you have been more (or less) amazed if it hadn't been old and battered?  

Heute is Freitag.

Its all Greek to me....

Anyhow, AFAIC its POETS Day!

Dioch yn Fawr, psst you forgot Sant - as in Sant Dewi 

Ah yes, positive waves!

Crackin' Devon day ! It all helps eh ?

This afternoon, the "tan" would be more akin to rust....

Shorchio 18* here in 36E at 15.30 today.

Had to go in the pond.

Absolutely agree matey, crackin' day !

Enjoy !!!

John, this was Dartmoor mid morning, absolutely glorious !

Thanks John; I've already lost things I found yesterday!

Hope it arrives safely !

a parcel from France - is that a big French letter?

D/Sider

I'd expect nothing less !

Christmas isn't Christmas without Carols from Kings.

Love it !

How true John. Sadly, we can no longer record it here so I couldn't listen after we got up this morning. However, ABC Classic FM broadcast last year's service yesterday evening, so perhaps they will broadcast this year's in a twelvemonth. In the meantime, all the very best to you and yours.

A lovely start to Christmas.

And the excellent and atmospheric cinematography

Oh, dear, dear, darling Dickie!

Though its a dreadful pick-up line, "Let me help you with that smut in your eye"...

Where were you when Kennedy got shot?

At home in South East London, last year at school, was topic of conversation at the inter-school cross country run the following morning.

I was building a wall at the end of the garden from concrete hollow blocks retrieved from the air raid shelter in the garden that Dad had dug up.

Chaos is my middle name. You may all call me Captain Kernow, or just 'Captain', if you please.

Aye,aye Capt'n!

And to you good Sir.

and welcome!

"Good morning, Good mornin-ga," and cue cockerel, cat, dog, horse, etc.

Ummm, got to wait a couple of weeks for mine!
