We went to the 'nooks' before we left, recycling is a priority in Amsterdam, they had a sign saying "do not take de piiss".

True enough jaysay, I have had a few pints there in the afternoon when I was repairing a mill steam engine during the local holidays. The mill was a not far away just over the road.

True, it's a load of bollards. I hope you didn't go to him for your teeth seeing to, Mr. P. Nutt was a veterinary surgeon when I lived in Hassy. He moved to Ramsbottom.

Mr. P. Nutt, B.V.Sc., 385, Whalley Rd., Ramsbottom, Lancs. ...

Typical Tory spin and misinformation.:D:D:rolleyes:

Ya it does actually, When I went to Idle in the 70s I'd never actually heard of the place and when we pulled up at the shop we were to fit out it was right opposite the club, we got chapter and verse from the shop keeper who told us of the numerous foreign visitors who came to the village just to be photographed outside the club, but actually didn't have time to call in for a pint
