The reaction, on the BBC, about removing Spain from the 'air corridor'. This isn't a political issue, the government were criticised for reacting too slowly with a lockdown, they're now criticised for acting too quickhat's how I see it) in introducing 14 days quarantine for holiday makers returning...

Apropos announcements about reopening railway lines. Skipton-Colne got a mention as well. For the majority of the line reconstruction to Skipton it just takes money. but the most contentious point will be crossing Vivery Way in Colne. The line itself could be replaced at minimum cost but this would...

Thank you for that reassurance Stanley. I thought I was the only person in the world who hadn't heard of the Oxford comma.

Hello Stanley and thanks for the photo to Gavino.
It looks like Penflewitch's grandad or possibly great grandad. She forwarded the photo to me.
As you can see I'm still around but a bit slow on the uptake.
A big Hi to everyone on the site.

Particularly important to me, still have family survivors of kindertransport. And family members whose parents didn't manage to escape the Soviet persecution that never seems to be mentioned.
Thank you for your posts on this subject.

A blood test t GP saihat can predict more accurately how long you may have live. Link. . I'm not too sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing unless you can do do something to cling onto your perch a bit longer. Had to laugh when I saw this. Just had blood and urine tests. GP said when read...

Belated Birthday Greetings Stanley. My only excuse is I didn't know you were so young.

Hello again Cloggy, nice to hear from you again. "Yan, Tan, Tether, Mether, Pimp, Sether, Heather, Hother, Dother, Dick". My dad used it on occasion, no real association with farming but his dad my grandfather had. He was a true dalesman, (Dent). Farmer, horseman, carter, we even have him...

I hope you both saw that northern sheep farmer on the TV who demonstrated the sheep counting. When he got to 20 he took a pebble out of his pocket and said "After 20 we use technology". :smile: Ni, I haven't seen that. Many Nordic and Germanic languages don't have words for numbers over 2...

[quote=Wendyf post_id=113713 time=1518341816 user_id=73] Hello Cloggy, good to hear from you again. Did you manage a trip to this area last year? Hello Wendy, I managed a very frustrating trip mid July 2017. It was supposed to be a respite trip, but ended up visiting Lancaster and Blackpool heart un...

'Age cannot wither, nor custom stale, her infinite variety' as I look at my 86 year old Alzheimer stricken dear wife, sorting out her bag with its precious bits and bobs, and giving the bedroom floor its almost permanent sweep up. I knew old age had struck me recently when a brother asked 'have you ...

Greetings to all. Just logged in for the first time in a while, and found this thread very interesting. Languages and dialects are fascinating, and I find that in my dotage I am gradually going back to using a lot of dialect words from my youth, when I worked with my dad at Higher Reedly. This broug...

Hello everybody, today I shall be mainly busy as usual with Mrs.C; but also starting to think about packing for my trip to UK next week.

Are you visiting Earby & Kelbrook Cloggy? I just remembered helping a lady with her family history recently who mentioned, just before she left the library, that she was married to a Garlick and had an old presentation watch in her possession given to someone for 50 years service in the calico ...

Lovely to hear from you Cloggy! I hope all goes well for your trip..... Do you re ly want to visit a country in chaos? Will they let you back into Italy? Stanley, I will just be travelling from one basket case country to another it seems. Whether or not Italy let me back in will probably depend on ...

Interesting medical experiences with the EU card,all sounds familiar. Since Italy is a nation of hypochondriacs, here in our Southern Italian village, we have a choice of 4 GPs in one joint surgery. You just walk in and join the queue for the GP you wish to see. If you are on a regular prescription ...

Never thought I'd be so grateful to technology and t'internet, and boards such as this.

I wonder if Bruff is in Italy yet for his holiday. I'm looking forward to hearing about his experiences there. I read that Brits visiting museums and other tourist sites in Italy are already being regarded as non-EU and charged a much higher rate for entry. When they complain and point out that we'...

One of the big problems of course is the UK public's interpretation of 'freedom of movement'. There is indeed freedom of movement within the EU; but that is not 'freedom to stay'. Every where else there are mechanisms in place to ensure that after the 90 day 'freedom' period has expired; you can sho...
