    Did Compo's flat come with extended storage?

    Wasn't that the storage space supposedly behind Percy's (Dirk's) shop? I believe I recall Terry saying that the storage space was actually on Norridge Bottom.

    Did Compo's flat come with extended storage?

    Wasn't that storage space described in another episode as a washhouse? Those houses, with their odd over/under arrangements, must be a nightmare to insure! I've seen advice on the Holmfirth Community Facebook group that it's wisest to go to a local insurance agent. That's been after a buyer has...

    Yorkshire 25

    Since I was 40 years old before my first sight of the ocean, I still find visiting any seaside venue thrilling, and Robin Hoods Bay lived up to expectations.

    Car Prices in 1963

    In 1963 I was in my first year at university and paying for it with a stingy academic scholarship, so realistically, whichever one was priced the lowest. If I'd had my 'druthers, I'd have had the MG Midget, if you please.

    Can you name the episode

    Didn't Nora and Ivy meet Nora's house guest from Australia (Truly's adolescent crush) at Huddersfield station? While they waited, they talked about the posters that used to decorate the rail carriages back in the day.

    The Tank Museum / Tankfest

    I've visited that region, too briefly, and here's what I recommend. The nearest rail station is Wool. The Tank Museum and Monkey World aren't very far apart. Check TripAdvisor for accommodations and Traveline for bus timetables/stops. I'd choose to lodge near a relevant bus stop and not too far...

    All I can say is.... WOW!

    In this area, Janis Joplin's cover of that song got all the air play. I didn't even know about Kris Kristofferson until my sister bought several of his records. Then I listened repeatedly to several of his early songs.

    All I can say is.... WOW!

    Happy for you! That technology has improved a lot in the last 14 years. Since mine is almost entirely nerve deafness, I'm considering cochlear implants. Waiting, though, until I have nothing left to lose (which makes Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee" run through my head), because the year or...

    Too Many Antiques shows on TV

    Nor have I. Been immersed in reading mysteries, instead. The loss of interest seems to date from the 8 weeks in a nursing home with a heavy dose of IV antibiotic twice daily. The antibiotic turned out to be ototoxic, and my hearing gradually failed over those 8 weeks. That, combined with the...

    Gentle Comedies

    Sent me straight off to Wikipedia because I thought I recognized the twisted spire, but couldn't place it. Sounds like a good gentle comedy reminiscent of some of Barbara Pym's novels. I'll need to take a look.

    Eye Update with Photo

    I'll bet that those who've see the nearly immediate post-op photo can't unsee it!

    Can you spot it

    Or did he regard these ideas as "evergreen"?

    Eye Update with Photo

    Please post a photo after all of the bruising and swelling goes away! Your current look is really not too bad, given the nature of the surgery, but it would be interesting to see an after-after photo.

    Tattooed?

    I've wondered what all the tats we see on young people will look like by the time they're in they're 80s. Nurses in their 30s, in particular seem to be so heavily tattooed that there's hardly any natural skin showing.
