Thanks Ian, nicely explained. We do our voting by post so that I don't have to growl at the activists sat at the doorway. I get on quite well with the canvassers, by the time they get to our house they are on their last legs so I get to do all the talking. 2017 the Labour man was so tired, ours bein...

Now there's a thought, Get hold of a pair of Prince Andrew's undies and you should be able to tell 'who's who' or 'who's not who' in the Royal Family.

I will take particular note to see if his polling number is presented at his polling place. I know that you can view the electoral register to see who is registered for voting but I thought the actual act of voting was secret. Ie: Mr X always turns up to vote, is this act available for scrutiny by ...

Barlick's answer to the V1 bomb. Song.

Has the phallic symbol on the chalk board anything to do with it ?

It looks like Trump is losing support in his Republican party. Ultimately they will support him to the bitter end but try to distance themselves from his extremism. From the New York Times above. Mr. Trump campaigned for Mr. Rispone twice in the final two weeks of the race, warning Louisiana voters ...

I once had this old toolroom fitter who insisted on squaring everything up before he started any other detailed work. Asked why he went to all this trouble he would reply, "Because in a few weeks time you buggers will come back with modifications and second thoughts that will mean me stripping it al...

I hate it when I see a child seemingly on their own at the shops, I always stop to see that someone ‘claims’ them. Things are really getting spooky or are these incidences more frequent than we think. Driving down for my morning swim 8-30 am there was this young boy about 4 years old dressed in a l...

Sod's Law exactly! In this part of the world NOTHING is open on Sunday.

How about going to Church?

A call from Open Reach prompted me to look at the road works in Pendle. Lots of things going on allover the place including Barlick. Worth a look at.Road works

It seemed to come as something of a surprise to her when a caller reminded her of her own party's drug policy. It's a bit long winded, but worth reading to get the gist. They seem to have given it a lot of thought. Today's view on recreational drugs is a bit like the prohibition days in America, al...

Glad its all Ok, its all Ok, I was wondering myself where China had got to, Its not the same without his piercing insights into our staid thinking. Take it easy and just get better.

I am suggesting that the solution is simple, people are poor! It's as good an explanation as any other that has been suggested. That can't be right Stanley, think of all those people on minimum wage and zero hours contract all itching to buy new cars, go on foreign holidays, buy new houses, max out...

There is inflation and inflation. It all depends where in the queue you stand. If we look at average figures ie: a total basket of goods and services that the average person would spend on then its probably true. So we are looking at an average wage of £470 per week. Once you drop below this thresho...

Spending plans and black holes a common theme in the current election campaign yet every time anybody mentions Trident the debate is shut down. Most people know that our 'independent' nuclear deterrent isn't independent at all. Quote: So we are being asked to spend around £100bn – or 12 times the To...

That's me, Everything mentioned plus others. I get no pleasure from chocolate or bear and coffee. Now that I'm getting older my tastes are mellowing a bit and I can manage small amounts but generally only to be sociable. The advantage is there's no urge to over indulge in the things that doctors adv...

Nick Boles ex-Tory minister calling Corbyn a pharisee. Boles A strange choice of words, weren't the pharisees a Jewish sect? Just when a large chunk of the Jewish community is saying Corbyn is an anti Semite, here we have Nick Boles saying he is acting like a Jew. Confusing isn't it.

I know a few people who vape and smoke cigarettes, In my mind 'vaping' is bad news. Industry is doing their best to get young people hooked on nicotine so that they have an assured market for years to come. The younger they are the more susceptible to nicotine addiction you are. Flavored vaping is ...

Which ever the way you look at it a vote for Farage's Brexit party or Johnson's 'Get Brexit Done' Tory party is a vote for Trump. Seeing Farage standing side by side with trump brings back images of Blair with G W Bush prior to the Iraq invasion. Not a good combination to be following. Johnson's fan...

Actually I went to the hairdressers last thursday for my Christmas hair cut. She was so fascinated by its strength and silky texture that she couldn't leave it alone. Lifting it between her fingers and taking the most delicate of snips that I thought I was going to be there all day. Then came the th...

The fashion among men is a bald head. Something that crumblies have a head start on. What the crumblies do today the world does tomorrow.

Whyperion, Statistical examination of voting trends has moved to a different level compared to the days when gangs of people rove about shopping malls asking how you would vote. Today the sophistication is at degree level and above. People who practice psephology are called psephologists.(pebble cou...

Today's headline splash is Labour's spending plans. The Tories have thrown one of their dead cats on the table to deflect from their disastrous start to their election campaign. Spending plans are always open to interpretation, a typical example is if you borrow to create an asset are you in debt or...
