I hope you guys noticed the purple poppies. Jok.

Ken. I knew you would be impressed. Next year I’m planning something spectacular. I’m thinking about, on this occasion, GUESS HOW MANY POPPIES, with proceeds to Air Ambulance. Only I know the answer. Jok

Well I think this is as good as it gets. Jok.

On a more funny note. A member of USAF asked me to deliver a Rolls Royce to an establishment in the City. The car was a white convertible and worth a shilling or two. Nearing the destination which was an underground car park somewhere in Mayfair, a geezer crunched the back of the limo. Well, as you do, I got out and was greeted with, Good job it wasn’t an old un pal. London. Shove it. Jok.

On a positive note TBF I broke down on Westminster Bridge which, on the hottest day in July was not a welcome to the city. At the time I was in my Nissan Patrol which was a bit of a beast and caused almighty traffic problems. Probably exasperated by the fact that I just opened the door and hung my leisurely leg out. The locals were not impressed by the sound of car horns going off.. thing was, I could not do a thing about it. Stick the place. Never going there again. Jok.

I’m with Foxdropper. Keep that shit to the shirt hat lives there. When you’ve had a bad experience in that shit hole of a place you would NEVER want to return. Poxy rat ridden hole. Jok.

Being brutally honest. Have. Been in the game and for quite a few years. I dealt almost exclusively with a firm in Tamworth, THS standing for Tamworth Hardwood Specialists under the rule of one John Riley. He , quite rightly, realised that that the future was in UPVC. The moral of this is, move on. It will be a lot less expensive to have a bespoke UPVC frame made and fitted with virtually no maintenance. You only have to consider the weather which unfortunately expands and contracts the plastics which means a bit of adjustment. I fitted a 6 set of bifolders for a friend and for a little while

Incidentally. Have you seen the price of cider vinegar? All is not lost. Jok.

Interesting that. I have again opted for the fermentation barrels with an airlock. One or two have mentioned demijons but my pal advised against them. He is going to put it ‘ bag in a box’ for me when fermentation is complete. Time will tell but I reckon an Xmas pint is on the way. Jok

On the subject. During the COVID shutdown 5 of us sorted out a little retreat where we could watch a bit of sport. At that time my knowledge on horse racing was a complete zero. I was introduced to something called ‘Lucky 15’. Cost me £30 and won £4600 with change. Not bothered since. That by the way was Cheltenham year before last. Happy days. Jok.

My 50 litres of mixed apple cider are going pretty well. I’m not going to risk a comment just yet so sticking to wine whilst I wait. I will, however, put some pics up at the end of the month with a taste report. My local brewer reckons I’ve a fair chance of a good result. If any one is interested, Leatherbritches Brewery, Burton on Trent. I’m always welcome to a tasting thre which is nice. Jok

Glasshopper could do it. Jok.

Thinking back to when I was in the game, we used Sadolin a lot. Used on all hardwood frames. Good finish and kept its colour. Don’t know if it’s still used. Jok.

It does what it says on the tin. Ron seal. Jok.

To be fair I love the gangs of Lycra clad bikers because when you pass them close there is always one who gives you the middle finger. My brakelights and then me jumping out the motor for a nice quiet word really is quite amusing. The fckrs can’t then work out who is the leader of the pack. Fck em all. Jok.

Getting things back on track. Since I started this. Went to see an old friend at lunchtime, in the pub, of course. It was devoid of customers. This a town centre where normally there would be a good gaggle of customers. It seems that the trend is, without doubt, going downhill. The street was quiet. The butcher (a very good friend) faces an Xmas without birds. Beer is going up it seems weekly and the supermarket prices are going through the roof. When I asked the question starting this post, Iwas unaware of the totality of the predicament facing everyone. I am going to have a word with Mr Mus

Thing is. We (I) just forget all that lovely music from our era. It was and still is fantastic. They could sing and play in a way that mere mortals could understand. I flipping love it guys. Thank you again. Jok.
