MM, Bit up market Red for Grace I think, a cheap house red for her will surfice Iain.

Grendel, The Central belt dialect is in general much slower speeking than where I live. To be fair the Yorkies will be used to our accents I am sure. Iain.

Thank you MM for Timbo update Iain.

Welcome to the NBN Forum Dave. Iain.

Hi Geoff, The bus trip around Edinburgh starts on Waverley Bridge, just next to the Railway Station. When I took friends on it it was £10 then per person. Iain.

I am in the gulf stream also, my wife had to show her pupils how to make a snowman ONCE. Kids had never seen snow except on the mountains over on the Isle of Arran. I have left Prestwick flown to Bournemouth and all the rest of west of UK was white. As Speedtripple says, Dorset is a green belt, where snow is rare. Iain.

I hope your not meaning Ludham Bridge and the LBBY next to it Clive Iain

Any help required just mail me Geoff, will try n help you if I can. Iain

Well I have been to Leeds/Bradford Airport, must be the dearest for short term parking I have ever used! Been in the past to the Tetley Brewery Wharff place, which I believe has now closed down. Sadly the armoury was closed the day I was there. Been to several Test Matches, and enjoyed the banter with the Yorkshire locals etc... Been coming to Norfolk since the early 70's, always a joy, and delight. The Locals are very friendly, even to a Northerner like me! Basically what I am saying, is, everywhere has its good and bad points, just please don't marginalise, its not nice IMHO. Iain.

Coots forever! Iain.

That Geoff is the Scots version, sometimes with beef links in it also. It will probaly make Eric homesick Why waste all that expense with a stodgy pastry base? Iain.

You can keep yer Kidney, its all you can taste in the gravy....yuk! Now a guid Steak Pie wi a flakey pastry topping, now yer talking yummy! Iain,

I stayed at a ghostly pub in York once, the only fright I got, was the bill with my breakfast! Iain.

Just for you Clive ..... Iain

Thank you Geoff, It shortens the winter, all fun and a bit of light relief. Iain.

Ah, MM they aint daft, they have "Clocked" that EASTER is earlier this year Iain.

Geoff, If Robin is there that week, I am sure he will gladly give you lessons on Hot Dog tin opening. Iain.

A National Park? Only kidding JM Iain

Hi Alan, I see you have had a frustrating day so far. Get out into the garden and build a snowman/person type thingy. Release your stress levels! Its white all round us here, but as usual Troon is a green as grass! They are even out on the golf courses. I wont say they are mad, as I did it myself many years ago also. Stay warm all, remember our "HUGE" discounts we will be getting from our gas providers later!!!. Iain.

Hi Geoff, Never too late to read a open thread, and this is a very good one IMHO. I am sure the intrepid Robin will be back out on the rivers as fast as he can find time off work in the early spring. Robin? Iain.

Right young Gracie, may I remind you I have a position on this here forum,(I am still able to click the DELETE button! ) fact, I am over twenty one, fact I WAS Blonde many moons ago. So there. Errr what was the question again please? Old codger I aint....yet! Iain.
