    The fact that a load of work has just been done on the boat by Shire Cruisers would reassure me, especially with regard to the hull and engine. They would certainly have picked up on anything amiss. You could ask Nigel Stevens for his opinion but I wouldn't blame him if he didn't want to give it - it would put him in a rather invidious position.

    My mother's Co-op membership number is so deeply ingrained in my mind (I was often sent along to get items) that I have used it as a PIN on many sites. Being a small Co-op it was only 4 digits. What I do remember was that one year the divi was 2/6 (two shillings and sixpence for younger readers) in the pound. That's 12 and a half percent! Well worth having.

    I meant a spellchecker would not substitute 'time' with 'temple'.

    What, twice? And not a spellchecker either.

    I'm so attached to my Paramo jacket that when the zip went I had it replaced by a specialist firm in Edinburgh. However it took 3 months (they were inundated with work) and cost well over £50.

    I looked up "Temple lapse" as I'd never encountered the phrase, but could only find links to the above video, except for one link titled Temple lapse of how the Stanley Ferry lock gates ... - MyPornVid I haven't included the clickable link. 😲 So what's a temple lapse?

    My camera with 2 months of pics, in the L&L. Spent ages with a magnet because I knew the SD card would be OK, but there can't have been enough (or any) steel parts in it. I had sent a pic a day home and a few to CWDF, so the trip was not entirely lost

    All this refers to Englandshire. Alan's link emphasises this (in bold). What about Scotland and Wales?

    I don't think we have any in the Scottish Borders - or Roxburgh, Selkirk, Peebles, and Berwickshire in old money. Although the Tweed may be navigable for a short distance.

    I've twice recently had e-mails from CRT warning of a shopping trolley in the Calder & Hebble.

    When singlehanding, mine always got abraded on lock sides, so I extended the life of the rope by wrapping the vunerable length in very tough (Gorilla) tape.

    That's my wheelbarrow! It was stolen last summer. How did it get to Stourbridge?

    I've been to Twatt. I was attending the wedding of a friend who was marrying a girl called Sheila Twatt. It's a fairly common name in Orkney, but I bet she was glad to become Sheila Sinclair.

    They really shouldn't let their hair dangle in the beer, even by accident.

    My son, a ranger in the Pentland hills, was involved this afternoon with the Fire Brigade in attempting to retrieve two dogs which had fallen through the ice on a remote reservoir. Unfortunately they only got one. ☹️
