Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
Pee - as if! Attending to a forgotten corner of the Windle and Bowker property - their fenceposts on the boundary had succumbed to age and n'er do wells were creating a track over the planting to the hidey hole at the back. I was putting a couple of posts in to re-erect the fence. May discourage oth...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
30 odd years ago, campaigning for recycling facilities was one of my big issues and I remember the jubilation when we succeeded in getting our first bottle bank. After that, an extensive network of recycling skip sites were developed. The one in the centre of Barlick being on the main car park off W...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Sentence in BBC report of withdrawn Trump plans for wall to protect golf course:
"At 4m in height and 20m wide, the 200,000-tonne structure would have required some 200,000 tonnes of rock for construction."

The letters on the popular keys have worn off (not a problem), but now the nibs on the home keys are wearing away; need to start saving up for a new 'un.

Re: Street in Barnoldswick
Almost certain it's Park Road before houses were built beyond Park Street and Park Avenue (which can be seen furthest from the camera). The junction of Beech Street in on the right.
Looks like a shop where the chippy is now.

Re: POLITICS CORNER
In terms of by-elections, the 1991 Ribble Valley By-election - where we overturned a massive Tory majority - caused the Poll Tax to be scrapped. (I remember it well as I was involved with campaigning from day 1 before the party by-election team turned up.)

Kev and Stanley are correct about drain coverings... and I'd remind members that we don't have gangsters in Barlick! The location is however on Skipton Road, which was surfaced dressed in 2015.
