Waterside Drive to your right, Henhurst bridge in front.
Is there 'owt i'theer, Mick?

Another good one Mick, a favourite subject of mine.

Always a good sign when your boxers are not flying at half mast.

Who need a flag when you can fly your
‘smalls’…

Another belter Mick, you have an eye for beauty.

Peter, have you tried Specsavers?

Comment by: DTease on 16th November 2024 at 13:26

Helen, if you’re that keen on washing you can come and watch mine blowing in the wind any time you like. You can even peg ‘em out if you like and if you’re into ironing I can assure you that no one will get in your way if you feel like giving a demonstration. Just say the word Helen.

Oooh you’ve cheered me up Dtease! ;0))

I hope the wind doesn’t blow um off t’line. Imagine dredging the underpants out of the canal if he’s only got a couple of pairs.

With China flooding every market , it’s cheaper to buy throwaways at a quid for twenty . Why spend it on Leci ?
The thing is we want cashmere toilet paper these days!

I must admit , I arrived at the same conclusion as yourself quite a while back actually Mark .

With the price of goods imported from third world countries being as low as they are , it’s become far less costly these days to purchase foundation garments online , wear them for a week or so … ( or in my case a couple of months or so … give or take ) … then chuck them on the AGA and get your investment returned instantly by way of radiant heat .
Far more economic than using my grandma’s old Hoover twin tub I’m obliged to concede .

Now with regard to cashmere bog roll … can it be obtained at Home Bargains ?

The reason I ask is because pages torn from the Wiggin Observer are currently playing havoc with my Chalfonts .

I’m unable to determine whether or not it’s the cheap ink they use these days … or what .

Ozy, if you turn your undercrackers inside out after the first month you can make them last twice as long. There may be a slight problem with a malodorous smell towards the end of the second month, but I find that this acts as an early warning of gangrene infection setting in and should not be ignored. A light coating of Germolene should take care of that. Mind you, the Germolene smells worse than the bloody infection, but you can’t have everything.
Regarding the Observer, it’s the Web-offset printing that causes the trouble.Them Web-Offsets will play havoc with anyones Chalfonts.

You learn something every day I didn’t know what the ‘ Chalfonts’ were. I must have had a very sheltered upbringing in Scholes!!!
What I discovered was the Chalfonts are 4 villages on the edge of the Chilterns and also a connection with John Milton fleeing the plague. I suppose the plague is the direct connection. I’m assuming haemorrhoids are a plague.

Rhyming slang Veebs .
Chalfont St. Giles ….
…. Work it out .

Comment by: Veronica on 17th November 2024 at 12:40

I’ve been to quite a few countries and many places up and down the British Isles but St Giles never heard of him…well I come from Scholes so that’s my excuse Ozy. Make sure you don’t sit on cold surfaces that’s not good for St Giles either.

The Farmers are protesting again.

Comment by: DTease on 17th November 2024 at 18:20

The farmers are always down to their last Range Rover Bruce.
Over the years they have had more taxpayer’s money than the Railway Companies.
