Are you the forum monitor, or summat?

What did you think I said? Found out for what, exactly?

Why is it always Range Rovers?

It's almost like the government are complicit in some kind of modern slavery. Letting in vast numbers of unqualified, unskilled cheap labour to do the jobs that no one else wants to. Companies like Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber, etc, etc wouldn't survive without the flow of disposable, less than...

'66 for me. My Mum told me about it.

Reported!

Back off liberal, not necessary to take everything so literally! Compared to decades ago, manufacturing in UK by wholly British owned companies is a shadow of it's former self. Is that clearer for you? I think the majority understood what I was getting at.

A cab?

Jeez! Typical! Do you liberals have absolutely no concept of humour at all?? :LOL::LOL:

You're right, but every now and then I am surprised to discover a British success story. Bought a Henry vac the other day and was pleasantly surprised to read in the manual that it was made down the road from me in Somerset. Although this is a successful company that exports all different models...

Was he your Esso blea dooler? (You have to be quite ancient to get this one.)

Surprisingly not a single doctor or engineer??

This one from the Fab 4 is quite special.

Yes, called post mix because it's mixed to make the drink afterwards with the necessary ingredients. The Coke syrup comes in a big bag in a box, bit like a wine box.

Yes, can vouch for that. Night on the Bass and you wouldn't need to set the alarm clock in the morning. :oops: A situation known as Bass a$$. Bass and a vindaloo - now that was living dangerously! Still a nice pint, but not the same drink these days.

You're right. Though the bloke who was fly tipping wasn't one of the usual stabby groomy types - so I took a chance. Obviously he didn't like being told, but didn't get aggressive. I do realise it's a losing battle and UK is being overwhelmed.

We had two in this small suburb of Bristol. One closed long ago, other closed recently, but has reopened again under different ownership. The long closed one used to have a paraffin pump inside and the smell of paraffin always takes me back to that shop. Not sure you would get away with that...

When we were kids we used to drink gallons of the stuff which probably explained why I had a good few fillings. Every now and again I get a hankering for a coke and usually give in. Usually if been out for a few beers and having a meal after I don't want any more beer, so will have a coke with...

Ferkin cleaned me out. Other day I bought 2 cans for the drain blokes who were excavating my drains by hand on a scorching hot day. For 2 cans of the original, full fat version - £3.20!!!!!

Back in the spring I was walking across a large open grass covered square to an area at one side where a small hall that belongs to the church next door had recently been demolished. Because it was a building site occasionally some people fly tipped a bit of rubbish outside the gates. Anyway, a...
