Tea?

[classic33]

non, non, non for pickled eggs..
I've always had a passion for pickled onions, gherkins, beetroot and mussels but only with that strong vinegar..

Might have a line at the pools for old times sake...

M'lud, gentlemen of the jury, you will note that it was not I who got him started on gherkins.
Why not eggs, given you tried every other thing that were pickled.

There's a snip joke there..

Can she take her porridge with her.

Tried once, didn't like so never again...

If that's where you've put the "naughty step".

I religiously did the pools every week
There is an online presence, company based in Scouse land so more likely one of the old style companies.
Might have a go, 1 quid per line..

We used to buy the big jars from the cash and carry, onions marinated is acetic acid which could be used as paint stripper, none of the poncy fancy pickled ones with the caramel colouring.
Don't start me about those pickled gherkins.....
Rowats and Gold Star were the favoured brands..
I knew a bloke who worked in the pickle factory and each day was a different label going on the jars, same pickles different supermarket.
Freebies

Never tried it, more a Twinings man myself.
None of that Yorkshire pee

Yorkshire pee

[172traindriver]

And then the rest of the body just joined in?

Seemed a good idea

 

[172traindriver]

Frozen windscreen to report..
Enjoy the 20c's Mr 172

....... but not the mosquito bites

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Yorkshire pee

He never noticed
He'll think he is Finn McCool and throw lumps of Ilkley Moor at me.....

 

[classic33]

For once when on me hols

When you could have been asleep in bed still.

Seemed a good idea

Was the idea as good in practice?

 

[Bobby Mhor]

....... but not the mosquito bites

Keep them..
I've hardly had a midge bite since moving that bit east..
a drive through to Helensburgh about a month ago one evening, stepped out the car and ended up like a pincushion

 

[classic33]

....... but not the mosquito bites

Bob's been bitten by mosquitoes!
Weren't the midges enough?

 

[172traindriver]

I noticed all the exposed cars were frosted over when I was setting off on my early wander. It was bloody freezing. Climbed up The Knock again and it was ok going up but I got colder and colder on the descent. Just finished a bowl of porridge so feeling warmer now.

Dreading the cold

It was noticed, don't worry.
Why would I throw good Yorkshire soil northwards.
