There were and still are a few caravan parks in Cleveleys, all referred to as Cleveleys. As I remembered them they were similar to those at Skeggy and Cleethorpes. A bit like the refugee camp at Calais but without the ambience and hope.

I don't remember the incident you mention at Staithes, but I seem to recall one at nearby Runswick Bay. If you go to Staithes on a super low tide you can walk around the headland to Port Mulgrave. There are some very good fossils inlaid in the rocky sea bed. Never had a problem with meals in that area and we visited regularly for well over 20 years from the late 80s. The most consistent meals were at the Fox and Hounds at Dalehouse. I never knew Lancastrians were particular about their food. Cow's heels, pig's trotters and tripe aren't really a Yorkshire thing. You'd have to bring them w

Get thissen down to Staithes and Runswick Bay. You can collect your own.

I thought Sunderland folk went to Beamish to see the future ?

Yes, so have I. But this new method of fishing a 60g lead and 2" hook link for tench and crucians isn't for me. To quote H.T. Sherringham; "A float tip is pleasing in its appearance and is even more pleasing in its disappearance."
-
Agreed! I could not bring myself to ledger for tench. It's just not right.
-
Lovely! Can't beat a spot of tenching. Unfortunately I can't find any locally.

Keep blinking H. It will work its way out.

Not as good as this chap...... Guernsey aquarium thief used fish to win competition WWW.BBC.COM A man who stole a fish from an aquarium in Guernsey and used it to win a fishing competition gets 100 hours of community work.

Have you heard the one about the bloke who has to keep inventing new identities and always gets found out within 24 hours? Greb, the man of a thousand identities and every one the same, a clueless tw@t.

Wrong again. Clueless as ever. Never issued a speeding ticket or one for littering. Too busy catching car thieves and burglars.

I didn't realise they had rent boys down the pits.

He lived just outside Worsbrough, a bungalow in the corner of a field. We had a partridge drive that ended with the guns lined up across the middle of the field about 200 yards away from his house. Some of the birds that had been shot well in front would turn and end up in his back garden. The wrought iron gate was always locked, but my spaniel could rotate sideways and squeeze her chest through the gap. She would nip into his garden, retrieve the runner then go back if there were any more.

The miners I knew partially blamed Scargill for the closures. He lived on our shoot and him and his wife were constantly haranguing us about shooting. They got told to feck off by the men he had represented. One day Anne was giving them some gip about spending their time driving birds towards guns, hadn't they got better things to do, blah, blah...... One of them replied to the extent that if her husband hadn't made such a balls up of the negotiations they wouldn't have to walk the fields to earn £15 a day. They'd be in the pub spending their wages.

Times change. Back then it was loose talk in a pub. Now its discussed on Twitter or fb.

Did they have 9" wood chippers back then?

Do you want to know my day rate?

The serial killers seem to focus on vulnerable people who wouldn't be accountable or who's absence doesn't raise concerns. So providing the abduction or murder is done discreetly all that could lead investigators to the killer is dna, fingerprints, evidence associated with the bodies, etc. Flesh disintigrates, bones don't so it is easier to permenantly dispose of flesh through fire rather than burial to avoid animals dragging it to the surface. That goes for clothing, etc too. Metal objects like mobile phones, buckles, jewellery can be retrieved from the ashes and disposed of in remote hedgero

People disappear all the time. It is only when bodies are found that the real investigations start. Master the disposal of bodies and you would remain unsuspected. So, in reality we will never know how many serial killers are out there because they could have mastered the body disposal bit. After all, many of these killers only come to light after accidental discoveries of corpses.

He used to say that he'd get his head down in the pack hole or "pack oil" as he called it. It was the same on nights in the police stations. A lot of the older bobbies would sleep in the canteen or even empty cells back in the late 1980's. Regularly I would be the only one out of foot patrol ironically walking around the village featured in Brassed Off while all the older bobbies were fast on in the nick. By the time I finished in 2011 you had barely enough time for a shit in a 10 hour shift let alone a kip or a meal.

Like my old mate used to say; he'd go back to the pit if only to catch up on his sleep.

If I was in that position I'd waste a politician then hand myself in and ask for a south facing room with Sky footy and a coffee maker.

Where I am from all the big industries; coal, steel, paper, all had very active social sections. Collieries like Maltby and Grimethorpe had their own football pitches with terraces, proper dug outs and changing rooms. Same in Sheffield with the steel works. Every weekend special trains were laid on to take the fishing club members off for matches on the Trent, Witham and Welland. Pigeon racing was also a top sport along with greyhound and whippet racing. A lot of the lads would do rabbitting and run long dogs. They had the money and the company of like minded mates. Once these massive emp
