[answer to Can't say the food was up to much. ...but the floor show...!] A Customer in "Who's Looking after the Cafe Then".

Just been watching "Here We Go into the Wild Blue Yonder" and could not place the location where the trio are at the beginning of the programme and Compo is reminiscing about rolling Eileen Watkins down the hill. The trio are in a country place, but looking across the way from where they are...

Public toilets are getting shut all over Scotland too. One old toilet building near where I live has been turned into a pizza joint. Never tried them, would rather buy from Tesco!

I haven't had any splitting (yet), but find that they don't stay folded very well.

Just watching this episode yesterday and I recognised New Mill but not the toilets. Turns out the local council in their "wisdom" ended up getting rid of them - found this online from 2013 when it was still at the planning stage...

Ironic that Jonathan lost his part after such an admirable achievement. You would think the role could have been adapted somehow to take in his new appearance.

Thanks Marianna for the heads-up - had actually just been thinking about looking online to see if the calendars were ready. Last year I'd bought one in August from the Wrinkled Stocking tea room, but was in Holmfirth too early in the summer this year to expect them to be on sale. Maybe the...

Agreed!

Fantastic opportunity for a LOTSW enthusiast with a talent for cooking.

The Changing Face of Rural Blamire - great story & acting - Blamire's expression when he finally sees his face in the mirror is priceless. Such a relief that it just washes off - in real life Blamire would probably have ended up in A&E! Who's That Dancing with Nora Batty - such a warm-hearted...

Lovely idea with the fridge magnet, Louise!

Yes Rick, the UK does do that daylight saving thing. We can't be very far now from "fall-back" when at least one gets an extra hour in the day. I used to hate both leaving for work and getting home in the dark, having to take my shoes off on the doorstep as never quite sure what I might have...

I would choose "Of Funerals and Fish" and "Hail Smiling Morn or Thereabouts" (although it's hard to pick really as they are all of such a high standard). Blamire was such a good character, so very sad when Michael Bates had to leave the show. I like the pilot because - well, it just introduces...

That's a very attractive style of window that I have not seen so much of where I live. Truly's House has windows like that too :) Another thing I don't see where I live is that style of front door where you can open the top part separately from the bottom, like Clegg's, and Nora's house had...

Sorry to hear your trip was marred by these issues, Terry. Did you mention them to the owners? Sounds like they need to make it possible for visitors to control the heating themselves, and also make those windows easier to open.

Oh, Howard! Oh, to heck with a handshake!

I'd never heard of a Tin Roof Sundae but having looked it up, it sounds absolutely delicious.

What an interesting thread, good find Barrychuckle. Dream Acres is lovely but would probably cost a fortune to heat! For me it would have to be Cleggy's Hill Street house.

Thank you Peri - and Captain - (and apologies to "Moss Rise" :)) I am always grateful to find out details like that really being the name of the wee lane at the far end of Hill Street.

Oh yes, now I can see Compo when it's been pointed out to me, but still not sure about the others. Is that in front of the very end house in Hill Street, the one beyond Hobbo's? I always wondered why there was a sign on the wall at that end of the street saying "Moss Rise" as I could not find...
