CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Good morning all, a shattered Socco struggles in looking for a mug of tea. I was up at 4AM yesterday and on the motorway to Lancashire "hice-hunting". Had enough after 5 hours of looking and a quick dash back down the M6 and M5 and back on post by 15:30.

Bunny can you put something into the tea to give me a lift, brandy springs to mind!

Hi LW, can't remember if I congratulated you or not so "congratulations", what is it for by the way? Can I have a fresh doughnut please? If not I'll have a stale one and put it in the microwave for 15 seconds.

Socco nice strong cuppa for you!
OK whats a 'hice' ?

Morning everyone,

Stockbunny, you should know what a hice is, it's a house for mice.

It's a place you live in Bunny, all the royals have one. Some refer to them as houses.

More tea please Bunny, since yesterday I am about 6 cups behind and need to catch up.

Good morning Socrates, missed you yesterday.

Oh, thank you so much Bluelady, I am chuffed to NAAFI bricks that you should say so. You are well, I trust?

I am well Socrates. That's a new one on me but I guess that is your RAF talk. If you are thinking of moving to Lancashire you'll be 'close' to optomistic, ;0).

I've got your addy, thanks LW, and it's now in my little black book so you can take it down. Has that addy replaced the Telkomsa one?

I'll catch up with you over the next couple of weeks.

Btw, I've not received my commission yet for the oily penguin tip. Same goes for you Jeffie!

:o)

Ah I get it - a burrow! Why didn't you say that in the first place!
;>)

Yes Bunny, a burrow.

Bluelady, sorry I broke into the RAF vernacular. It's no good trying to put me off, I'm going to Lancashire despite Opto!
[:-)

Socrates, lol. If I remember correctly you wanted to be nearer family, hence the move.

Bluelady, quite right.

Morning all, thanks for the 'congratulations' Socs, I too am not sure what for so I'll return the compliment, 'Congratulations".
Now we're starting to sound like Cliff Richard.

By the by, if you're off to Lancs don't get involved in this 'war of the roses' thingy plus you'll need an in-depth natter to Jeffers about the merits of whippet racing or pigeons.
At all times try and remember your civilised status picked up in Chelt. and the marvellous job the local Ladies College do.
I do hope the local neatherdals whence you are going aren't too earthy for you.

Funny really, moving to be closer to family; I moved here to get away!!

Oily penguin tip doesn't ring any bells Minxy, think I know who you mean; but there's a case of '07 Sauvignon Blanc waiting in my wine cellar for you anyway.

Morning all, ah Socs, I don't think I deserve congratulations but thank you any way and I'd like to return the compliment so congratulations to you [We're starting to sound like Cliff Richard].

So you're leaving gentile Chelt for the Neatherdal wilds of Lancs eh? Don't get involved in 'this Roses thing, white v reds, could turn into a nasty business.
Suggest you contact Jessie for advice on the merits of whippet racing or pigeons both demand the 'flat cap'.

Funny how some of us need to be by the family; me I moved here to get away from 'em although that was my ex-wife's family.

What's the caffs tea like by air-mail?

Thanks LW. I might extend my sporting activities to pigeon-shooting. Do they do whippet shooting too? "Local neanderthals", that's a bit of an insult isn't it? To neanderthals I mean! LOL

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Good morning cafe! Tea on, toast toasting and some genuine Grimsby Kippers for them that wants them. Got some of those lovely Italian Croissants too.

Morning Socco - yes kippers please :>)

Unlucky jose you have been treated badly ...
