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.

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!

Is that East-end culture, Kray Brothers culture, Milwall supporters and thugs club culture, Japanese culture, lazing about at work culture or what?!!

The only culture I've seen today was on the cheese when I opened the Cafe fridge. What are you lot like? I go away on a mission and the place falls apart. Time to open the bubbly and then get things back on an even keel.
Jeffers move away from the smoke? I didn't see that, where's he off to? I hope it's not Cheltenham, we'll have to put the shutters up like we did when Hightone came for the races. We've only just taken up the last of the booby traps and the the land mines.

If you wanted to move to Thanet I could have shown you the best areas. There are some smashing places but you need some local knowledge or a good agent to show you where they are.

Morning all, big match day so started it off with the great British fry-up, not a regular thing and it will probably get the chlorestol flying.
Socs, the Thanet bit is history now, it was because we wanted to be close to ferry crossings for Europe, mainly for 'er indoors work contracts with SAP;
we decided on Aldeburgh, Suffolk instead which was definately a correct decision. However, we bought a house there, lived in it for six months and then decided that me having retired, it would make sense for mrs.lw to do the same.
Had traipsed around the capital cities in my lady's wake so we upped roots and headed here to the winelands in South Africa, again a very correct decision. We made 40% profit on the Aldeburgh gaff in those 6 months and made a lot of friends who are constantly in touch.
Now its feet up time, wine tasting, exploring this fantastic country, meeting new friends and tons of golf, braiis etc.

Good morning lw. I had thought about Aldeburgh for a retirement gaff but it's so flat around there. Also there seems to be an ever present risk of waking up one morning and finding that your house is now part of the north sea. There is no way I could ever leave England so I'm stuck with looking around for a suitable retirement abode.
Right now her-indoors is calling for me to get ready to go out, so I shall have to wash yet again this week and then go trolley racing around Tesco. Life is just one long adventure.
But, lw, you'll soon get fed up with life in SA and be hot-footing it back to the UK to do exciting things like bungee jumping, canoeing down rapids or investing in Wiggins. Of course it may be something more mundane that forces you back, like our local pure pork snorkers sizzling under the grill.
Incidentally, I have some long lost relatives out there somewhere. If you should come across them ask them to get in touch. They've been missing since 1934 and I've no idea what became of them.
