  1. As this from NHS states in 2019 there were 4800 cases at A & E just from DIYer's using drills, possibly a good call https://www.england.nhs.uk/2019/04/nhs-on-hand-this-bank-holiday-as-diy-injuries-increase/
  2. Anchor moorings from Google maps street view. And the bank of trees behind Anchor street right where the Maltings used to be
  3. This one was in the shadow of the Flyover over the New cut and the Reedham- Lowestoft line The only other one near there is The Bell at St Olaves
  4. Yes right by the side of the New cut
  5. Pity the pubs feel the exact opposite Eh
  6. Yeah must have shut nearly 60 years ago now. Just after the flyover went over the new cut. 1962 according to lost pubs

  9. Try telling that to my nine year old self. Out on my bike delivering newspapers!
  10. I was in Homebase about a month ago. And a guy was wandering around the wood section muttering about decking. So as I was leaving i collared one of the assistants. Said to him the bloke over there wants decking. How was I to know he was from East London. It took just one punch!
  11. Think about it in years gone by : If you walked into a bank wearing a mask Would you have been greeted with a cheery HELLO ?
  12. I have a Nephew who lives with his partner in Tenerife. Both work in the supermarket business, He works until 11pm some nights two and a half miles away. For her safety she takes the family car. Finishes work at 7pm , She cannot go and pick him up from work as they are enforcing One per car law. So he has to walk from the next town home. So far this past week he has been stopped and asked for his papers and why he is out, 4 times. She put up a message on FB My Darling we live together. We sleep together. But, I'm sorry I cannot pick you up in the car!
  13. Most of them will be out licking the willow bark
  14. Nor does MM I believe He keeps it all onboard Inside Himself
  15. For us 8 months of planning just went pear shaped yesterday. My local amateur radio club of which I am on the committee had the task of postponing the South Easts, Largest Radio and Electronics rally. This was due to go ahead in 16 days time. But due to pressure from traders and the public. Usually panic stricken Facebook warriors spreading posts everywhere. Saying people should boycott if it goes ahead. We decided to pull the plug last night, this has caused us a small club to lose a lot of money.
  16. Lots of the silent calls are from number farmers. Soon as you lift the receiver,, the computer logs that it is a live number. These numbers are then sold to the dreaded Indian call scammers. No one is needed at the end of the call to answer you. It's just a computer auto dialing numbers, hoping for someone to pick up. With Voip and A Vpn. costs nothing and untraceable.
  17. And I reckon that it is worth a pretty penny too! To someone known as T, as it spells out FFS IT'S T
  18. Ive got a little Otter You can buy them lots of shops have them Their called travel kettles Sorry couldn't resist
  19. Yeah we do that one too we also do LOTA, ROTA, COTA, SOTA and POTA. and this year we hope to get a special event call sign for Dover D80DUN for the 80th anniversary of th Dunkirk evacuation, as Dover was the main Imbarkation at the western docks station which i now the cruise terminal we are in negotiations to transmit from there
  20. Now for the good Today is Brownies Thinking Day. One of the things we do, (you may not know but I'm an Amateur radio licence holder) as the local radio club is in the same building. Is try to contact other Brownie groups across the world. So they can have a chat about todays Thinking Day with other brownie groups. It's called TDOTA Thinking Day On The Air. Try as we may we could not make contact with any other group on an any wavelength. So we scrolled up the waves and found a group of people having a chat. Waited for a pause and keyed up, gave our call sign and asked if anyone would be willing to have a chat. with individual Brownies to gain their badge. One guy said yes and broke away from the chat, to a different frequency. Then spent the next half an hour chatting to five to 10 year olds about their day and what they had been doing. That is a good thing about a certain type of social media. One that has been round for over a hundred years.
  21. Such sad news Nice guy to talk to, very knowledgeable too Condolences to his family Here's hoping the database continues, as it it such a useful commodity.
  22. Don't know about a Templar Knight More of a Barron Knight
  23. Well it can't be Beer, as no Yorkshireman would ever have waste on summat e'd paid for.
