Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

So that's where the ring of feathers was all the time, all around me hat. Remember when the ladies all wore wax fruit in their hats? Pears, apples, grapes, oranges, even bananas, some of them at the races had huge fruity hats and looked like Moore Street Fruit Market.
The brother took a large bite out of an apple on the Granny's hat one sunday morning, she left it down on the table as she went to fix her hair, he was only six and thought it was real, they did look very realistic, he got a clatter across the ear for his trouble.

Reading up on how satellite TV works and I’ve just discovered that my satellite dish is parabolic and has a feed horn on it, I’m thrilled to know that, one is forever learning, and for all the good it’ll do me now.
I wonder would my feed horn eat peanuts? I got a huge bag of them from the coal man who’s sister works in a peanut factory, better not try it, they might give the feed horn a parabolic fit, I had an Uncle who had a parabolic fit once, not a pleasant sight at all.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Any idea of the date of that paper clipping Sweetie? It must be pre 1922 as we were no longer part of Great Britain after that year.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

....so there I was,busily engaged in driving a gritter/plough for my local council [I was asked if I'd help out as their staff couldn't get in...kind of ironic,but c'est la vie] when this chap tapped on the window & asked if I could possibly pull his car out of a ditch....weeeell...it'd be rude to refuse...
