Calming the (in)famous Yorkshire Wallet

[giner]

Careful with sheep farmers' remedies. They might involve certain rubberised footwear.

Ay up!

Bad news - for other road users! Fifi, my elderly car, has PASSED the MOT at the third time of asking. The Wallet has gone into hiding....

hey BB , mon porte-monnaie des pauvres

G'Day Gents

I've found the a swim twice a week in the local farmers sheep dip has worked wonders, haven't had a fly blown backside for ages.......................

Manna , I thought you only caught that driving 142's

Ay up. Mr B!

I reckon there are two things you can catch driving 142s - a cold (they always were draughty things) and a bruised backside on jointed track! I sure some of 'em did the occasional blackflip on the Penistone line's somewhat imperfect track....

You can also catch a hatred for old leyland buses - wait, everyone has that already

yeh BB , another match for the nodding dogs is the B cab of a dog box (153)

Ay up!

Its the fact that the sheep are used to the sound of zips that worries me.....

[giner]

Ewe are not kidding, BB. Zips and rubber boots? Sounds like one of those budget movies where the wardrobe department can afford only a mask and black socks for the leading man.

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

What a lovely day! Wall-to-wall sunshine, eggs frying on the pavement, full days' play at Trent Bridge.

Wallet sunbathing!

Does it get any better?

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

The Wallet is Not Happy. I sneaked three purchases past it at Penmorfa - a Lima class 47 (47401 in Large Logo blue), a lined maroon sub brake and a station kit plus a Driver Experience at the Welsh Highland Heritage.

Currently in the corner, growling.

I'm out of ideas. I tried stuffing 4 £10 notes in it and it bit me several times. I put it on the dashboard, hoping the views of the Welsh mountains would calm it. Not a chance. It was watching the petrol gauge needle swinging to the left and grumbling! Maybe an evening on Mrs BB's lap - nope, bit us both! The cats are scared of it now.

HELP!!!!!

[Blink Bonny]

Ay up!

The Wallet has been missing for a week - fret not, its now back in captivity (my inside pocket!) but it now has a camera.

Oh, and there have been stories of sheep being worried in North Yorkshire. Very worried.....

[Autocar Publicity]

You must have a true classic BB, for the petrol gauge to be visible from the dash.... or is Mrs. BB wearing shiny jewelry again?

You can't really blame the wallet for being ratty at the recent weather, I've been snarling at it lately. The forecast has generally been worthless, moor's the pity.

[strang steel]

And there is more of the wet and windy stuff to come, judging by the comments from the nice lady on the radio this morning.

I am just worried that the presenters seem to get rather excited at the prospect of horrible weather. Are they all sadists?

Send the wallet to the Met Office HQ, BB. The experience may calm it down.

[mr B]

aye' we all know what leathers like when its wet .....

Ay up!

My ol' Xantia has an inset instrument board so I popped it there to stop it sliding about, mainly because this started the Wallet growling again.

It's attacked the 47 I bought at Penmorfa!
