Maybe I just don't remember it that well, but I wouldn't have said that Butterflies was really a comedy. Even though Geoffrey Palmer did give one of the best lines ever uttered in one episode, "Oh God, I can see hope running towards the horizon with its arse on fire". Must be a good line, I...

Glad to hear there's no danger. Like I said, I was just afraid that I'd verified a working email address to some spambot. I didn't follow my own rule of thumb - always check the sender's address to see if it's a legitimate email before clicking on any links.

Greetings all, Terry has reinstated me as a member after suffering from server problems for quite a while, and after being re-established, I got a strange message, which other members may also have experience with. This morning (Aug. 26th) I got an email from "Summer Wine Net" (actually sent...

I HAVE IT!!!!!! YOOHOO!!!!!! Ordered First of the Summer Wine Season 2 last week and it arrived today. I'm a happy camper. (I also ordered what I think will be an interesting program - Britain's Best Drives, with Richard Wilson)

My sympathies too, George. I hope you're back up and about soon.

Thanks Chuffer. I'm also interested in other people's suggestions, as I'm planning another trip up to God's Own Country myself this summer. Maybe I'll try a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway this time. I think that would be wonderful.

I can recommend Haworth, I really enjoyed my visit there last year. The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is a lot of fun, and there's a bakery on the main shopping street with the biggest, best eccles cakes I've ever tasted. I think Marsden and Standedge might also be worthwhile. A 20 minute...

Pauline is having some difficulties getting onto the forum, so she asked me to post this message for her. (BTW, has anyone else had problems logging on recently?) I was watching the episode "It's Never Ten Years" this morning on GOLD recordings and i know a lot of people say that it's...

Eyup lass, glad you could rejoin us in the LOTSW world. :)

'Eyup Kenlad, and welcome to our little bit of Holmfirth on the Net.

Greetings Steve. I can't answer your question, but welcome to the forum anyway.

But is it something on the wall over Cleggy's left shoulder?

Greetings Hector. Welcome to our little virtual corner of Holmfirth!

Is it something in the window? A person standing outside?

Hmmm... I'd never really given Edie much thought, but she actually is quite an interesting psychological study. I could imagine her in real life. I'd say she was disappointed with life. I don't think much was ever said about her youth, but I expect she was a "common" child, who grew up with...

Duuhh! Of course, you're right Unc. WEST Yorkshire. Sorry, it was late and I was tired. That is indeed interesting about Butterley. Thanks for the info. Actually, I suspected that some of these reservoirs might have been built to feed canals as well. About generating hydro, I wondered if they...

Say, as I've been virtually roaming over the Summer Wine Country, with Claye and Terry's help, I've noticed the large number of reservoirs dotting the landscape of east Yorkshire (Deer Hill Reservoir, Blackmoorfoot, Butterley, Wessenden, etc.) I was just curious what these are all for. Do they...

John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards...

Thanks for posting the link there Scruffy. I'd actually intended to put it up myself, but while I was looking for it in the bookmarks, I got sidetracked with something else and then forgot about it and hey look it's raining and... ummm... what was I saying...?

Cool. What Holmfirth webcam are you watching? The one at virtualhuddersfield.com?
