I hope you’ll indulge me for a moment to promote my wife’s choir

We are one and the same. A bit like the holy trinity, but only two of us.

I doubt they know Alex..
They talk of 'pants on head' and ' handkerchief on head'..
And one said he is 'losing his marbles'..

Yeah but one assumed the other knew where Parrswood was

Absolutely true. Marge and I live in the house; Dex lives in the attic. He feels comfortable up there, thought he sometimes nips down to the cellar.

My moth pupae prefer the cellar.

Best keep them down there. Marge is terrified of moths. Really.

Parrswood is in Didsbury. JBR is in Cheshire, and the recital is in Manchester. Cheshire may be the place with the highest concentration of members? Alex, JBR and possibly Dex. And I go over the border occasionally from God's own country. (Thats what the locals call it)

I think she did, but it was difficult to see her..

klondike · October 09, 2025, 10:30:51 AM

Is that her campervan? She could visit Raven. I think she knows all the best spots for a bit of wild camping.

That's my laugh of the day..

It's the personal touch that gives one a warm glowing feeling 😉❤️

"Cheshire may be the place with the highest concentration of members?"

I have always maintained that I live in Cheshire, living in Cheadle. In fact, unless one has accepted the relatively recent bright idea of rearranging our counties, whose borders have existed for centuries, the fact is that the traditional borders still exist and that maps defining them are widely available. In fact, everything south of the River Mersey (in this area) is in Cheshire, not Manchester or Lancashire.

To be honest I still, and always have, regarded myself as a Yorkie having lived most of my life in that great and wonderful county. A proud Yorkshireman temporarily residing in Cheshire, which is infinitely better than living in Lancashire!

Which river (Ribble, Calder or Lanshaw) did you row your dinghy across to become an illegal immigrant to this fine county?
