Maybe everyone knows and is keeping quiet...

Profuse apologies for leaving you hanging with this one. Our Switch On event consumed my attention over the weekend and Monday morning. When I thought I'd be slackening off, the rain came - generating a fresh set of issues for me to deal with... I was going to tease you with a picture clue... http:/...

I've wondered about the cast iron pipe in Stocks Beck, Stanley -and have taken pictures of it from time to time... are you going to post it in Mystery Objects?

Me and Tom put the structure in for Santa's Grotto, part of Switch On Saturday. This is work in progress - less than 12 hours before Santa arrives!

Neither of the above - your going round and round with this one!

Stanley is heading in the right direction...

I don't know about a forestry link, but thinking of images of the Germanic Wars, there could well be.

Skipton to Manchester, and the service gives a fast journey between Barlick and Burnley as well.

For Southport nowadays you'd catch the 280 to Preston and change there.

Wow!

Sorry, none of the above, humorous or otherwise, correct.

Surprised this hasn't been cracked yet, but maybe someone's maintaining a holy silence?

Present day X43s are a higher standard of bus too; more comfortable and equipped with wi-fi.

http://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/gallery/image.php?album_id=12&image_id=13262 This was one of the plant pictures I took yesterday when we were carrying out a Barnoldswick in Bloom community action day at the Memorial Gardens. The event involved yet more going up ladders for me (putting up bir...

Dismantled tin snips...

Meanwhile, us youngsters are grappling with inflating energy prices... Our fixed rate tariff runs out at the end of this month and I've been checking out what's on offer. Cheapest rate was for a 12 month fix, but we chose a near 3 year fix which was a little more expensive. This gives us a hedge aga...

Thank you Stanley - and I do say it's all a result of teamwork!

"Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm, yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it's come to distances and both ...

First snow.

Thank you deebee; looking at the first picture, I'd worked out it was very recent. Bang up to date is brilliant!

Hope you are OK with me posting one of these on facebook, with a link to this page.

Naz Alam, who photographs lots of community events, posted pictures today from the Britain in Bloom Awards last week. Here's one of us representatives from the bloom group receiving Barnoldswick's from the chair of the sponsoring organisation. Lois Green, Ilse Eden, Lesley Gilbert and me. http://www...

Very true Tizer. We had some idiots driving through the water during Earby's flood in September creating bow waves that overcame sandbag defences. It's one of the things we try and guard against with road closures and barriers.

How to take the tax out of taxi, if that's not too taxing a question...

I now know that it's part of a collection of 19th century photographs of Shanghai by English photographer William Saunders...

Knock me down with a feather! That was just the first daft answer I thought of...

Thanks Stanley. Consultants are working on the problem of flooding in Earby but it'll be the middle of next year before we have a report. The sort of things they'll be looking at include upstream storage (creating washlands), perhaps a diversion of Earby Beck to below the town in flood conditions, m...

Just one of the hen huts is still standing where it was in this photo; it's the one closest to Bankfield Shed near the canal (it can be seen from the canal if you walk on the towpath nowadays). It looks like there's a gap in the houses on Coates Avenue, the new Skipton Road bridge is yet to be built...

First frost.
