One that blocks the lavatory pan.

This is no reflection on your friend, but I find it surprising that a pathologist should turn to general practice. My experience in the NHS was that medics who disliked contact with patients became anaesthetists. Those who really disliked it were pathologists.

An image of a railway between two 'houses' sought
Welchester replied to a topic in UK Prototype Questions
It was quite a well known story, but, as you suggest, probably urban myth. Sadly. -
I knew an elderly Welsh clergyman (from Mummersher, where they only spoke English) who went out for a drive one day to find this place called Gwasanaethau that he'd seen the signs for.

Welchester replied to Harlequin's topic in GWR Rolling Stock: model and prototype
I came across this earlier this afternnon while browsing the Site of Sites. Many thanks. -
And they say the screams from Berkeley could be heard in Gloucester.

My old spaniel, Bertie (1995-2005) not only caught rabbits, but once managed to catch a bird in flight. He lived only ten years because he broke his spine in a chase.

Those Barry McKenzie films were misleading.
-
And I remain convinced (from my own eperience) that 'Father Ted' was a documentary too.

I've never flown from La Rochelle, but often been there to collect or deliver passengers. It's a lovely airport, but the temptation is always to miss the exit from the dual carriageway and head straight for the Île de Ré.

Left hand, surely?

No visit to Trentham is complete without a call to Pieminister. There used to be a good food shop ('Green & Brown', I think it was). Now closed, sadly.

Some friends of mine in Deux-Sèvres found the remains of a fireplace in their ancient barn. This proved that it had once been used as a dwelling, and so the Mairie were quite happy to grant consent for it to be converted to a residence.

He has one? I am astounded.

I thought they were two novelists: father and son Kingsley and Martin.

A friend lives in Folkingham, which the locals pronounce Fockingum.

I think you may be right. A friend of mine got chatting to him at an SVR gala (he seemed to attend every one) and had a long conversation about investments, about which Jed seemed well informed.

Also applicable to Darlaston in the West Midlands (Darlo-on-Cut).

Including (according to one account) the heart of the Sun King.

The original saying, I believe, was a reference to LG's generosity with peerages.

Nice station on the right. I used to enjoy seeing the 2884 when crossing that footbridge.
-
Yes. Cheltenham Lansdown (the Midland station), as distinct from Malvern Road or St James GWR Stations. By the time we moved to Cheltenham in 1966 only Lansdown Station was left.
-
That's Lansdown Station, so presumably off down the Tiddly Dyke.

From the time I worked at UCCA during the university vacation, the minimum offer was usually two 'E' grades at A level. This qualified you for an automatic local authority grant. Anything less was discretionary, and in the early Eighties the teeth of Thatch were beginning to bite.

Of course. I should have been more precise. Your point is valid, and my memories go back as far as Nixon.
