lemontoes

I'm not wearing a hat unless the boys are too! I'll bring them.......and the lemon.

Looking forward to the banter waistcoat.....which reminds me, I've got to get my banter hat sorted! (I mentioned to my son that hats were required....the language teenagers use nowadays!). Cheshire-rose put me down for a large box of eggs. Lemon

I am 16 locks further away than I was last week........still on target to be there though.

Tonka's kitchen is available as well. Fingers crossed that we make it.......she just gone to have bottom blacked, engine serviced, and a couple of problems that surfaced on the way to the marina sorted. Jan

Can you put us down for the buffet please Jan

Down the Macclesfield, turn left, Trent and Mersey, turn Right......haven't got my map handy....but on to the canal with the extra special banter! Jan

I am absolutely definitely coming by boat but it won't be as leisurely as I had hoped. The boys are camping the weekend before, so I can't set off until the Monday. As I usually take twice as long as anyone else to get anywhere, it will be touch and go! I will have one 14 year old crew member with me...... I hope that's ok? We will probably be desperate for something to eat, that I haven't cooked, when we get there so the buffet is a must. Getting quite excited .... hope we get there on time! Jan

Really really pleased. I've passed your boat a few times over the last couple of years, lovely to know I can still wave when I go past. Jan

Happy Birthday Bantering Dave! Sorry I couldn't make this one.....I'll have an armchair drink with you all ......Cheers, Jan

Love this thread Starry! ....my favourite is no.21 :clapping:

I'm still planning on coming down by boat. I'm getting quite excited I have never turned left at Kidsgrove before! ......and if we can find the remote control I may 'borrow' my son's helicopter. Jan

I just caught them out of the corner of my eye at the bottom of the screen.....didn't half make me jump!

I'm going to pencil it in too........especially if chocolate cake can be found! I think the boys are camping in the lake district that weekend, so I'm free. Jan

Headjog ...you were very much missed at the latest banter. Having seen the said face fungus 'in the flesh' I can vouch that it would have been worth the trip! As to whether it is house trained or not I can't say for certain, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it did Barry's washing up before leaving for the banter.... Jan

I'm going to get a coffee and then read this again.
