  1. I believe this to be genuine.
  2. There are plenty of Spurs fans in Essex ! Probably not as many as Man U fans though
  3. Such a patriot ! Here he is Bet there'll be a Covid 'spike' in Essex over the next few days....
  4. 'Wonky' strawberries at Morisons work out to be substantially more expensive per kilo than the rest . It's the same in Aldi. Clever marketing or sharp practice ? You decide.
  5. well, if thrNorfolk 'R' number goes up, we will know it'sthe visitors.
  6. Marshy, absolutely right !
  7. The 'best' French vintages, the Premier Grand Crus are now mostly bought up even before the vendage ( the grape harvest) by rich investors.
  8. Good post MM. I've said it before, and It seems worthy of repeating. When there is a thread which doesn't interest me I simply don't follow it. I find it works for me.
  9. Then there's this one. It does need a bit of work..... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1652866838188839/
  10. These statues need to be removed, as they are very offensive to many people.
  11. "Coffee farmers and their families are supposed to benefit from what are called partnership agreements between the EU and its member states’ former colonies. But every time you drink a cup of Nespresso coffeeyou are sending more money to Nespresso and Nestlé than to dirt-poor coffee farmers who rely on the crop. This is appalling. The “shared value” in coffee is symbolic of a 21st-century colonialism where the vast bulk of profits are kept in developed countries while most of the hard work, sacrifice and risks are heaped on coffee-producing nations. " Just sayin, you know. .
  12. He was great . Very effective at winding up one or two who appeared puffed up by visions of their own importance.
  13. Might appeal to some of our more 'far flung' members
  14. .... but don't have the room ? https://www.freeads.co.uk/uk/buy-sell/leisure-hobbies/boating-sailing-watersports/motor-boats/classic-motor-boats/36384889/9ft-24v-electric-slipper-launch-built-2011-for-sale-on-trailer-in/view
  15. I have had time to reflect on the issue. Rather than removing statues 'for safe keeping, perhaps they should remain, however front each one with a large,bold information board clearly detailing why the said individual was an a***hole . Surely nobody could reasonably object, could they ? Rhetorical question. Of course they would - even on here
  16. That won't be too difficult. However explaining why it took so long may be .
  17. https://yachtcharterdedrait.nl/en/blog/what-are-marrekrite-moorings/ In the province of Friesland, in the northern part of the Netherlands, there are many options to moor your boat. Many of these mooring places are called Marrekrite moorings. That is because they are marked and maintained by the “Marrekrite“: a partnership between the Frisian province and municipalities. If you value peace and quiet, it's a great system, almost as if they want to encourage visitors, unlike much of the UK.....
  18. And probably like MMR, given as a 'mixed' single shot.
