Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Correct Stanley.
Gf - Who is your member of Parliament for Holmfirth?
The biggest issue in your area trawling through the web would be the objection to a William Hill Betting Shop.

Stan.
Yes.
But it is nice to see Hays and Cynic noses being rubbed into them.

But I will leave the country if they reverse and show a conservative lead.
But don't worry I will come back

Good of him to buy British, I usually buy Italian. Let the mills close and buy cloth from the far East. Pretty soon the new Asia will be Africa. China is investing heavily there.

China is mainly investing in oil & mining in Africa , not manufacturing

Chris a chap called Mcartney Tory.
Dont rate him......... that bookies has been given planning permision by Kirklees Council but I cant see it going ahead too many snobs here protesting against it.
Dont forget this is "last of the summer wine country" and a lot of incomers hate the tourists who come around off coaches.
Even though the the sit com has stopped its full everyday of a 7 day week with holiday makers from all over the world.
Twice Ive had coach loads come up to my house door (japanese) thinking it was some kind of museum.
Bloody nusiance.
Property prices here are sky high because of the tourist factor.
Strange situation though at local councils because of the boundarys.

hays - british mills still make some of the finest worsteds and similar, alongside the Italians ..... i'm delighted that his tailor favours locals mills, and not just for the country (county) tweeds

Cyners, not rubbish recovery hasnt taken place here in this neck of the woods. all you have to do is buy the local papers on a wednesday when its jobs day in the papers and instead of 7 pages 2007 just half a page now with crap part time jobs advertised.

Hays,
The wrappings may cost more, but they don't add to the value of the individual, but often act as camouflage until they wear out.
