Well, I've gone right off Mrs BB. Certainly seems a flighty, and mercenary, piece. But just remember "I did not say she was old!". It was Mr B, and he certainly implied it (I'm the last one to cause trouble!!!!)

Must have been a right p##s up then: 'lets stick one o' these buses on a wagon with a diesel motor-thingy slung underneath and see how far it'll go before it claps out'

I bet they were surprised that it lasted more than 20 years and kept the branchlines going! - No slating intended :mrgreen:

Sir

Our client has retired (far be it from us to suggest about time too) and is sharpening her fangs behind the wainscotting.

We are asked to bring to your attention the fact that our client was Miss Pork Scratching 1897. You have been warned.

Good grief. I donate you just one decent Turkish Delight recipe and you all go wild. What extras have you added to your version?

Not that pointy leaf stuff that grows in tinfoil lined rooms I hope.

And there is no point in bothering with Scunthorpe if you are from Yorkshire. It is crossing the county border that brings on the shakes. A day trip to Goole should hit the spot.

I know little of the north Lincs wallet, but it seems to provide little competition to the south Lincs one, so I may have to leave you to it and flounce off in the direction of Guthram Gowt.

We put Milk Stout in it in Yorkshire.

Maybe I should stop.....

BB, you're surely not advocating putting Milk Stout in the wallet, are you? That aggressive personality further fuelled by alcohol is a recipe for disaster.

No, we put it in the Turkish Delight. I did try rubbing the Wallet with single malt.

It were 'orrible! :shock: :shock: :shock:
