  1. A racing bike. All that was required was to re-inflate the tyres and oil the chain.
  2. Those fields are great for sledging when it snows. And there's a tree there that always has a rope swing on. Walk you dog there by all means. But please, please be responsible and remove the poo! Many kids play football/cricket there.
  3. Didn't the Athena Sauna shut down a couple of years ago? Isn't it a dress shop now?
  4. I'm sure Mr Kites opened before 1980. Somebody must know.
  5. If you approach Gib from the Spanish mainland, take a good map and keep your eyes peeled. From what I remember, the Spanish (peevishly) don't put Gibraltar on their signposts. Unless they call it something else altogether.
  6. There's a great place in Hope. I think it's called the Old Hall. It's opposite the church on the main road, at the corner with the road to Edale. I have very good memories of this place.
  7. They're convenient and quick-ish to prepare but when they come out of the over they're so dry they almost make me choke. Without deep-frying them, is there a way to oven-cook them so that they are not like eating hot twigs?
  8. Fish and chips at Steele's or Ernie Beckett's is a must. It make the hour's journey worthwhile. The charity shops are always worth a browse and for those in need of more retail therapy there's always Lakeside (Yorkshire Outlet?) on the way home.
  9. The Arthur Strong show is an invention of absolute genius. It's about time it was moved over to BBC TV. It's one of those rare radio programmes that actually makes me laugh out loud.
  10. I have one of these trollies in the garage. Big wheels at the back (fixed), smaller wheels at the front, fastened to a plank that you move with your feet. Piece of string connected to front plank to help steer and to pull trolly up hill. No brakes. Against the rules. What are old shoes for anyway? Only one problem. From what I remember, one of the rear wheels is liable to part company with its axel, which can pose a bit of a problem. I'm sure the problem can be easily fixed.
  11. I can see where you're coming from CraigS18, but I think the time has come and gone to play the blame-game. I'm not sure that name-calling will help move this matter on, either. What's needed is for those in authority to grasp the nettle and sort the problem out. Put it right. ASAP.
  12. I know it's good to talk, but the last thing road users in the Chesterfield Road/Abbey Lane area of Woodseats need is more time-consuming discussion and inevitable delays. What's needed is a bit of action from the powers that be! For me, it's pull-your-finger-out time. Get-a-move-on time. Time for talking is over, let's get this terrible road/junction sorted out. The cones have been there so ages, so it seems, and the new lights for the bus lane remain stubbornly covered. Will they ever be switched on? Will the bus lane ever be used as it was originally intended? Inertia has set in big time, and I can only assume that somebody in authority has made a big ****-up. Please tell me if I'm wrong. I'm not bothered who it is. It's not important. What is important is to get the road sorted. And soon. It's not that I'm against meetings and keeping people informed etc, it's just that the situation regarding Woodseats appears to have drifted and drifted. It's time those in charge of our roads sorted this mess out instead of sitting on their hands.
  13. Have you considered Bose Acoustimass? Little cube speakers that can go anywhere plus a bass unit you can hide away. Sounds fantastic.
  14. A friend who is well-placed in the electrical retail business recently gave me two tips. Firstly, if you're in the market for a new TV, make sure it's set up to receive HD. Secondly, don't buy plasma.
