    I've had a pint in the woolpack. That's the real one. Not that modern imitation.

      Sorry, @ARMANDII , but it sounds more like you know all about the current storylines in Coronation Street than you would care to admit!!

        Not so, Irmemac,:dunno::heehee: Seeing just one episode scars the mind for decades and when programs go, inevitably, from bad to worse it doesn't take much imagination listening to comments from those who watch and like them that the storylines are, again, inevitable.:doh::heehee:

        After spending an evening playing at a gig to almost the entire cast of Corrie in the late 70's, you now know the reason my mind is scarred! :snorky:

        Edit: When I've seen Cheryl Murray (who played Susie Birchall) and is in real life a lovely, funny person doing the limbo, more than my mind was scarred! :snorky:

          @Sandy Ground, that sounds interesting, what did you play (instrument/style)?

          I am quite proud to say I have never watched an episode of Coronation Street. I did, however, once accidentally watch an episode of Eastenders, bat have made sure that never happened again! I'd better admit, though, that I would have walked on nails to ensure I did not miss the last episode of any series of Line of Duty!

              Be careful where you leave your bush at this time of year @Beckie76 - its getting chilly out there now. Unless its a fir of course?

                I've heard wrapping in fleece is the way forward at this time of year, for all your tenders specimens. :whistle:

                  No it's not a fur, so it needs to be well covered, frost bite would cause quite a lot of problems :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                    Is that the only type of bite that causes problems? :scratch:

                      If bites cause problems, then dont cover it with bark chippings.

                      Everyone knows that some peoples bark chippings are worse than their frost bite! :snorky:
