I had crocodile many moons ago at Old Orleans in Bolton, by the Reebok.

It was very tasty, but it got me back with a vengeance the next day, let’s say I needed Imodium….

I've just finished reading a book called 'Fear of Sunlight'...

by Gladys Knight.
 

I saw a deal on eBay. “Television for Sale – £1- Volume Stuck On Max”.

I thought:

“There’s no way I can turn that down”

I just bumped into Phil Spector's brother Crispin.  
 

He's head of quality control at Walkers.

My new girlfriend works down the abattoir.
 

She's a stunner.

"Women are terrible with directions, aren't they?" I said to my wife.

"I don't really know where you're going with this." she replied.

Saturday, busiest, especially in the morning.

 

Sunday you will have less options for general shopping with her (Sunday trading hours). My guess would be try Monday, possibly the quietest of the three days for us (But very weather dependent) and shops in the City likely to be open for their normal trading hours despite the bank holiday. 

 

Hope this helps. Pre-paid tickets are on line via our website.

Thanks John

Looking for some advice, which day is generally the busiest day of the York show?
wifey has her 60th the following week, so trying to nudge her for a shopping day in York

** Beware **
I ordered Chinese locally (won't name them) went to pick it up and as I was driving back home, heard the bags rustling and moving!!!
I thought what on earth is that? Has something gotten into the bag? I thought I could see a little pair of eyes peering out.

I was driving at the time so I pulled over, I leaned forward, picked up the bag, put it on the passenger seat and there it was again, more rustling and little eyes looking out behind the ginger beef!

I thought its got to be a rat or a mouse or something, so I carefully pulled the bag down ...

And there it was ...

... A Peeking Duck!!!

In one!!

Breaking News. 
A Russian oligarch named Rolf was ejected from the buffet car on a train last night. He had become loud and abusive over the quality and the choice of the beers on offer. British Transport Police have confirmed the incident stating, "It appears that rude Rolf the red knows train beer."
 

Just taken a six foot roll of bubble wrap to a charity shop. The bloke on the till said to pop it in the corner. 

Took seven hours.
