A big hello all. Old Socks is back and full of beans, not literally! I got time off for good behaviour, incarcerated in darkest Kendal for a few days. If anyone needs or wants to go there I can recommend a superb guest house.
That said, special on 7 Up behind the bar two for one. You remember 7 Up, lovely fizzy drink. Recommended by Snow White I believe.

KENDAL MINT CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I know you can get it in many places these days and no doubt it's
made in deepest darkest Milton Keynes or something but I remember that
stuff from years ago - school trip circa. 1974 (duh..I think??) anyway
bought my first bar of the stuff whilst in the lake district
on said school week long trip.
Scenary was beautiful, youth hostel was un-memorable, as were the rest
of form 4 whatever at the time....But the mint cake..ahh..worth remembering!!

My first visit to the LD was in 1955, I also stayed at a Youth Hostel, food was not up to the Cafe standards and I recall I lived on half a dozen 6d bars of chocolate a day. Mint Cake I enjoyed but I preferred what was strictly school contraband at the time, Rum Butter. It's a wonder I was not either pickled or horribly sick but I loved it.

What's the betting it was the same youth hostel, from what I
remember it was less than bang-up-to-date when I went there!
Is the region still as beautiful and unspoilt now the years have
moved on? It's a place I want to re-visit at some point.
Poochy - Only my opinion but if she's married she's not worth
even thinking about - other ladies are out there for you with
less 'baggage' and potential fireworks attached!!!

It's not a Hoover you need, more like a spade. Shall we have some tea, just you and me, nudge nudge, wink!
There could be some fun on the old shares game soon. Serious chance of PTG coming to life so old Jeffmack could be in the money

Vasey,
How lovely, where have you been? I was beginning to think I would be on my own here all day. I thought about you when I was in Kendal. In the guest house where I was staying were three ladies doing family tree research in the records office. Having great fun they were.
Jeffmack
Are you following PTG? It seems to have come to life at last. If the price action keeps up, you could end up top of the leader board.
