Jeff,
Are there no local Tea-boys in Leek that could do the job? Good luck with the interview ...... I'm sure you'll wow them with your Union Jack carpet slippers.

What part of Wales are you off to Jeffers?
Don't get down in the valleys, lots of interbreeding gone one for years, not just the older generation but also the miners.
Flags are all displayed and I'm getting plentry of stick.
Yesterday, the top team in the Western Cape, The Stormers had their annual golf day here; said flags of St George and the Union Jack were festooned all over our house. This team have the most Springboks playing in Oz. so the message got through.
On Sat one of our top restaurants is having a Brits day with large screen tv for the match.
I'm wearing dog knob red trousers [sorry Goldie] and a white shirt plus my normal England Rugby cap and will be Paarls answer to the barmy army, albeit a little bit older than the norm!!
TIM..one way ticket I'm afraid...
Have bets with half of SA on the outcome, will cost a fortune if the unthinkable happens!!

Zoooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - THUD
Socco flashes in and bounces off his armchair. Bring on the tea barman I've a thirst you could float the QEII on.
Sorry if I did a GD but I've been on a secret mission to check out activity on an airport in the South East. I must admit to being cream-crackered so if I fall asleep just give me a nudge.
It's great to be back and see so many familiar faces, also some new ones to get to know.

stockbunny: you are very welcome in the Tea Rooms. Only membership requirements is a sense of humour and a strong sense of the ridiculous! You've already made friends by sharing your carrot cake! Don't worry about the talking dog wearing a pinny over there. He's the Patron.
There is a freshly-opened bottle of champagne in the bar fridge if you would like to join me.
Glad you made it back Socks! See, we did miss you while you were doing a Wiggie!

All this activity on a Friday afternoon, must be P.O.E.T.S. day.
Welcome bunny.
LW well done for keeping up the tradition of lager louts on holiday!
Socs, good to have you back

A wiggy? Who mentioned a wiggy? OK, I own up, it was Manston, jolly nice cafe they have there. They do a really wicked Cumberland Sausage in onion gravy. Missed you all terribly but I was forcibly removed from any contact with anything that looked remotely like a computer.
If you ever get to that part of the world I can thoroughly recommend the Captain Digby pub at Kingsgate, only one person of my foursome managed to eat all their meal despite it being judged as better than excellent. Modesty forbids I should say who the successful diner was.
Do you think carrot cake would make a good sherry trifle?

You certainly know how to live, a week in Ramsgate was it? You can buy a ten bed hotel there for about 130k

Had to step out for a while, carrot double-parked, but thanks vasey for the welcome and Hi Jeff.
Socs. can't see why you can't use carrot cake as a trifle base if you want, may be a bit soggy though....maderia cake works better.
See its been a totally eventful day on the exchanges today - NOT! - oh well ((Raises glass)) here's to a great weekend doing whatever you want and here's to an upwardly mobile exchange next week!!!!!

Welcome Bunny.
If leek was in Wales we wouldn't let him in LW.
Milwall fans have been barred from crossing the border for sometime, we are also trying to deport Cardiff fans too.
Your not wrong about the breeding LW, we have a couple of villages around here
where the people all look the same.

Jeffers
Oddly enough I did look at house prices whilst I was in Thanet. They have gone up significantly since my last sojourn. You are right about the ten bedroom hotel for 130,000. At least, that is if the rooms are very small and the guests all bark! There are a few very dowdy places right under the Manston flight path that are cheap. The area I looked at was Birchington, the posh end of Cliftonville and the West Cliff area of Ramsgate. Can I have a loan from your bank?

Evening All, I think it'll be a real cornish pasty with trifle at the pudding end and a steaming mug of Jeffs builders tea please; if you can stand the spoon in it you've got the strength right.
Where's the mutt, under the bar I expect with his snout up his wotsit [wish I could do that-give him a biscuit and he might let you].Old ones still being the best, eh Socs.
Socs..we looked seriously at the North Foreland area and Broadstairs, it all seemed Charlie Dickens and lots of ex-Cardiff folk, weird or what?
Presume you read about Jeffers impending move away from 'the smoke',I just wondered if he's off because he can make a better cup out of Tetleys?
After the pasty I'd better get some kicking practise in and a bit of a go on the old punchbag [Don't even think it Jeff..lol]!!!

Leek - is that one of those motorway 'refreshment' areas? Take care up there they think that everything south of Watford is bandit country, like Liverpool. When they discover you are Jaspanese they will assume you are an assylum seeker and they can pay you 3 an hour and make you work as well!
