This is an excursion train which is a summer attraction that closes down for the off season. It is a scenic tour, which offers dining and sometimes features a Who Dunnit performance with audience participation. Like all excursions, you get off the train where you get on it, you can't hop off...

Dr. Proctor's Fiery Chest Pastilles :08:

So there really was a Doctor Beeching? I didn't know. I thought it was just a plot of the lovely sitcom that bears his name. I didn't know it was based in reality. I did a bit of Wikipedia research and read up on the "Beeching Axe". I will never be able to look at the sitcom quite the same...

I probably would have also loved it! My Mother's bread pudding served warm with either maple syrup or whip cream had the same effect on me!

Captain Clutterbuck, Thank you for making me aware of the Donkey Jacket. Wikipedia provides a description 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_jacket' and history. It originated in the UK. I never have seen one in the US, so I had no idea. I remember in the days of disco (late 70s), there...

I noticed that Gastric and Entwistle both wore the same jacket, black fabric with fake plastic leather shoulders and upper back. This jacket was out of style when Entwistle wore it in Summerwine and really out of style when Gastric wore it in SOAH. I also notice that the jacket was big on...

Commitment Phobia. In 'Some Enchanted Evening', Compo was in hot pursuit of Nora who was reciprocating nicely, until he found out Wally wasn't returning and realized that Nora was actually pursuing him for real (gulp!). He quickly went into the run-Forrest-run mode and relapsed into his former...

Wow, they are 30 something in the US nowadays for funky, non-name brand cigarettes. I quit May 30, 1990:37: Back when I was underage buying smokes at Woolworths, they must have been really inexpensive because I didn't have a lot of money in my pocket, just what I could harvest from school lunch...

I agree with Roger. I found the nutritional data for the product. It has protein powder which makes it malt (and makes you fat if you don't exercise), some carbohydrates (probably soy or rice) to make it seem filling, some salt and a big slug of sugar. Based on the quoted fat content, whole...

So did it work? If so, where can I get some???? :37:

I don't know about candy, but Woolworths was the one emporium where underage youth could freely purchase tobacco products, as long as there was no horseplay and you were discreet about it. No one I knew ever lit up in the store. I wonder if Arkwright would extend the same courtesy to his...

When I look at this ad, It makes me miss the local Woolworth's where I grew up. Even though I don't recognize most of the item names, I can figure out what most of the products are. We used to have both Colgate and Ultra Brite toothpastes. I still use Colgate, none of the designer flavors...

There was another episode where Howard, in attempt to deflect Pearl's attention, said he was giving directions for the fastest way to the B1429. Was it 'The Suit that Turned Left'? Another longshot.

This is a longshot. In 'The Most Powerful Eyeballs in Yorkshire', Foggy was reverse hypnotized into a protest march aimed at stopping the construction of a motorway. I don't remember whether the proposed motorway name was mentioned or not, but I do remember that Tony Simon snapped his fingers...

Sent!

Honorable Mentions: Chrissy Monk and Terry Cade for bicycle demolition derby When you get a good bite, Yorkshire tastes terrible.

Compo for waterskiing Compo and Barry for hang gliding Howard for the hundred yard Pearl dash (I always wondered if he had a double do the running for him) Seymour for power wheelbarrow jockey

Today, I was at the local US Post Office to buy a Penny Black stamp. The counter staff were speaking to another customer and said that the Amazing retailer does not have enough drivers, so an Amazing truck brings all of their packages from their logistics center to the US post office, for local...

I saw Geoffrey Whitehead tonight when Rhode Island PBS television aired the UPSTART CROW episode 'I Know Thee Not Old Man'. Whitehead played the role of Simon Hunt, a Jesuit Priest, during that period in English history when being a Jesuit Priest put your name high up on the endangered species...

I did notice a big change in Granville from OAH to SOAH. In OAH David Jason was a physical actor. His antics on the shop bike were so funny. The touches he put on the scripted scenes were amazing. When doing the dishes in the kitchen sink he suddenly became a U-Boat Commander. Using the dish...
