So how would he, or you, turn the watter off if you needed to, frinstance, change your stop cock? Barmy!

Off out soon to pick up the apple juice we forgot to get yessdi. Very misty and a bit cooler today, we are I think in the cloud base.:):):)

No, the man couldn't install the meter indoors due to lack of space and he couldn't find the stop tap outside so he abandoned the idea.

Is you on a shared water main then? :eek:

According to the Frog fire brigade at least 80 % more like 90% have a human cause either deliberate, or accidental like chucking a lighted cigarette out of a car window. They are trying to say that things like lightning strikes do not commonly...

Oh dear, and I thought they were Frau and Fraulien. Today I have the sisters Knee-ertz as well as their mother Frau Thumertz. Still we keep battling on, don't we?!:)

Love it! I had quite a few with musical themes. One they particularly like showed a pair of slightly blurred hands playing a keyboard. After I had been disciplined for something I didn't do, I got rather angry and my wife bought me one of those...

On shelves next to the kipper-like ties!

Steady on, my Dad was a philanderer. ;)

Which is worse, female rugby team doo or a female hen doo!!

We can all do our bit to rid ourselves of them. I’ve started a protest group ‘People against the Freelanderer’

I hadn't realised this was a Poofta thread. :oops: I feel all violated and durty now.

As you have a irrigation system do you grow commercially or just for home use

Probably. Remember it being on the telly when eye were a nippa. But that were years ago.

Didn't watch it the first time round then ?

A lot of fires start naturally, bottles , dewdrops lighting, silly law that just a get out clause

Morning All. :D Poor sleep last night awake 3..6. :( Those French ladies are here... Madam Backertz and Madam Knee-ertz. :( Shopping later. :( Have a good day. :D

I was a "novelty tie" person, the zanier the better. :) From Marc Chagall looking silk colour kaleidoscopes to ones with a mouse in the middle of a grid pattern. :D

We is on 13 million views on me fred. Proof everybody likes Freelanders.

Fell er sheep last nite watching Minder on itv player fing. Its got them all eye fink. Eye likes Minder.

It has actually been raining here, but it is as if the clouds are on work to rule, as the drops are so slow.

If you have clothes you haven't really worn you must have been a bit of a dandy in the past. I have to admit to having worn all of mine regularly, though my red weskit with the shiny back got a few looks askance when I wore it around school! The...

Living in the Montagne Noire, so called because the mountain sides are covered in Oak trees, or pines, more recently. We do worry a bit about fires. In all the time we have holidayed here and since then lived here 6 months of the year, there have...

Yes it is so easy with tap water, not sure those with it, most people, realise the mindset you develop when its in short supply. Your deliveries don't sound too bad, we get less water than you for more - 10m3 for €160 and that's last years price...

I know exactly what you mean. The jackets fit really well, but the trews are a bit "higher-octave-tight". But I live in hope of the resurrection of my former self. ;) One of the jackets is a lovely dark (almost towards brown) green and it is so...

So as it isn't too hot I have been out with the big weedwhacker/mulcher. Running better since its service. Did one tank, came in, about to go out again. I think I must be the only person for miles around cutting grass/weeds as they have all...
