    [​IMG] Oh, good gracious Pal I do know where that is. I had forgotten what you said about the water park etc earlier. Well at least they will be renovated with some care then. How that area of the Cotswolds is changing, the by-pass & all. I remember it all long before that.. ;) :D

    ;) So come on then Pal, come clean...! Did you go up in the cherry picker or did you give your camera to your workmate..... ;) :D

    [​IMG] Not a patron of the "chuck wagons", but at least it is real bacon & fresh tomatos..!! More than allot do [​IMG]

    Marley,I was driving one of the first vehicles along the bypass the morning it opened,and it was such a nice drive that I turned around at the end and did the drive back.

    Oh yes!..I was up there with a mate, while three other lads hauled on ropes on the ground, nice and warm down there they were too! :D

    Me too Paul..Black tea with sweetners.. [​IMG]
    I reckon the whole building trade has Chips on Fridays... [​IMG] except me of course ;)

    I have soup at mid morning break and that is home made..Mrs Pal blitzes up Potato and Leek with onions and Garlic or Tomato and Carrot with the same additions.
    :D Because I eat only healthy food ,lads at work take the Micky, and tell customers I only eat seeds and nuts out of the hedgerows. [I did make the mistake of letting them see the Pumpkin seeds I nibble on :rolleyes: ]

    :eek: No, don't go for that sort of thing ... and the last one is positively disgusting. At least the birds looked "sort of" normal, if you know what I mean.

    It reminds me of people who stuff their pets ... sick! [​IMG]

    Hi Rosa..
    The one that spooked me was the Crow. I was brought up being told all large carrion were the Devils birds, and I never to shoot any on the farm as a lad because only paid Gamekeepers did so without coming to any 'underworld' harm. [​IMG] ....
    Question. Which well known jockey was kicked and badly injured by his horse a couple of days after shooting the Crows in his Hen run?? [​IMG] ;) He was told not to aswell [​IMG]
