I like to thank Accy Webber?s for the birthday wishes received on the 02/02/2026. A good day was had by all who attended my birthday meal at the Top Brink Todmorden.

You are too kind Margaret. But I am a tryer.

Thank you to Accy Web for the birthday wishes. Who’d have thought in 1939 I’d still be alive and reasonably active. I don’t put as much on here as I used to do as I have lost interest in photography and sold most of my gear. Also, even though I’m a friend of Andy Holt I have no interest in...

I'm a bit late joining this thread but Merry Christmas and a healthy covid free 2022 to you all. Best wishes from Yorkshire.

I usually give cash to the bin men and postman. It makes no difference though, they still leave my bin two doors away after emptying the thing.

I used to sup in the Horseshoe around the late 60,s and 70,s. Stan Hindle was my drinking buddy. He lived next door at the time. Philamenia lived next to Stan, she was a pianist (not bad when sober) Ted Sharpes, another drinking buddy lived next to her. I can't remember the landlords name...

Six months after the death of my lovely wife June I had a friend and his wife call to see me. They were sat at my kitchen table while I made them a coffee and then I was stood in the centre of the room waiting for the kettle to boil. The lady asked me if I believed in the afterlife and if I...

I don’t know how long it’s been since you visit the memorial but they’ve improved the car park including coach bays. Also a memorial garden which was well tendered with wreathes etc. We didn’t go down to the museum this time.

Commando memorial between Fort William and Fort Augustus. Gondola ride up the Nevis range. Taken from a swaying gondola through Perspex doesn't show the real beauty of Scotland.

We have just had a few days at Fort William and enjoyed a ride on the Jacobite train, taking photos hanging out of a moving carriage isn't the easiest trick. On previewing my post which included another 7 photos I find they they have been discarded due to a security issue so unfortunately I...

Re: Strimmer and Flymower £70 Both machines have now got a new owner.

I am due to go to a clinic in Bolton soon to have a cataract removed and not knowing Bolton we decided to have a dummy run today. We had no intention of getting out of the car or even opening the window. What amazed me, especially after reading that Bolton was a covid hot spot, was the fact...

Strimmer and Flymower £70 After struggling to get a small lawn behind our property looking decent we finally decided to pave it all over. So surplus to requirements are BLACK+DECKER 18V Cordless 28 cm String Grass Trimmer 2.0Ah Lithium Ion Battery complete with charger, £87 new. and Flymo...

Hi mate, do you remember the "Dear Johns" or "Blueys" we used to get from our girls friends back home when they decided they were madly in love with somebody else. Some squaddies would have a weep, some wouldn't give a toss but somehow those letters always seemed to finish up pinned on the...

When I was in the forces I had a couple of pen pals who wrote regularly. That was up to the early 60's. Now I have a friend who I worked with in the 60's and 70's and he writes a few times a year. I reply by letter because he doesn't have a PC or fancy iPad or iPhone. Any photos of our...
