So so sorry to hear of your mobility issues Marianna but keep pushing on I am sure you will. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knee last year I was sent [surprisingly to me] on a 2 day x 6 week exercise class at a Gym centered on people , like myself, who have these debilitating issues ...

As an aside did anyone have mobile shop vans in their area at one time. I remember then with great fondness , they sold everything and you could of course get sweets when the shops were closed , I think Supermarkets or perhaps regulations were their death knell.

I'm just back from a mini break in Whitby can recommend a trip there and Staithes but avoid Scarborough well the front didn't help that the Funicular was out of order so walk down and up was a tad torturous but it simply was not worth it [we were at the North Beach] didn't venture to South Beach...

So Mr Blue no intention of following Speedo Mick's example any time soon . :)

I was in Staithes on Wednesday and walked through a Thunderstorm with a hail accompaniment back up the hill for the bus to Whitby by the time I got there Whitby was bathed in sunshine . Whilst in Staithes I met a group doing the Cleveland Way who set off on the leg to Whitby . I saw them later...

Memory lane for me Ferret when I was working we had a conference in a large hotel in Pott Shrigley effectively a jolly up and I have an abiding memory of about an hour after they opened the free bar and one of the most senior managers being carried out absolutely plastered after downing red...

In one of John Lewis's cafe's on Thursday last week I bought a slice of Xmas cake to keep me cool wasn't really effective but tasted nice.

I assumed Leroy is Granville's son, there is an episode where Paula Wilcox [her of Man About the House ] turns up playing Leroy's mum and it is implied that Granville is his dad but apologies in advance if I got that wrong.

Only wee on the tree no pump on the stump :eek:Oh Matron!

My biggest issue with it is Mrs Featherstone romantically chasing Granville when in OAH nothing could be father from that scenario . It didn't warrant a remake becomes very predictable as the series progress and lacks the quality OAH had in the writing. I think personally they should have left...

Any fans of Oh Doctor Beeching ? It is being shown on That's TV today should anyone want to watch and/or record I have set a series link on my TIVO box.

Watched Sting at Isle of Wight last weekend on Sky Arts he can still sing , reinvented some of his hits but to be fare the crowd seemed ambivalent most of the set, didn't seem to identify with him at all even Edith Bowman seemed to struggle to enthuse in that gushing manner you associate with...

Not a years supply of Cornish Pasties ? :08:

Watched like you on TV recall Quo and Rockin all over the world , it elevated Queen to cult status it not only offered great entertainment but raised awareness at a time of great suffering , did it change the world , yes for a while but sadly the same issues and more remain.

Mention of church bells can't help but make me remember the Time on my Hands episode when the paratrooper is caught on the church clock and Mainwairing's , Jones and Fraser's hat are used to silence the bell to their detriment.

I was in Saltburn last year and will be next week as staying in Whitby and will use the ol' bus pass to travel up on a day trip . Sadly the Funicular was still being repaired last year but I believe it is back in service and is a must to travel on for the sheer admiration of the engineering ...
