The Retirement Thread

First frost here was three weeks ago........it's chilly up north.......

Chorley's not the north, it's in the southern half of the country.

Had ours a couple of weeks ago and a few mornings since.

Mind you, I think you can get colder weather over your way than us, at times.

Im in a bit of an odd spot, up on a ridge, the highest point between here and the North Sea. When the weather comes in from the NE theres nothing to moderate it.

Chorley's not the north, it's in the southern half of the country.

Its this side of the Watford gap and therefore oop north lad.

I watched a fillum earlier, The Patriot with Mel Gibson. Seen it before but its an excellent film.

Currently listening to War Pigs with grandson. He has an excellent taste in music for a 12 Yr old 😎

Prefer the Dio era myself. Like going from a propeller to a jet engine but can't deny the Sabbath riff fest.

Winter is coming and The North remembers

It's not far from Dunsop Bridge almost the geographic centre of GB

I beg to differ, everything south of the wall is just that south.

Spent most of the day building flat pack cupboards that we apparently need

one of those where the instructions were written by someone who knew how to do it and checked by someone else who knew how to do it


anyway - got it done

totally "tired out" and knees were complaining a lot - they do that


so nipped out to get something to eat

It were a mite foggy out there!!!

I remembered how to put the fog lights on - first time in this car


not too bad really - but there were a couple of spots where the road pretty much disappeared!

anyway - got to Tesco and pulled into the right turn lane behind the car in front of me
seems like the bloke behind me was not happy with us doing 15 ish mph down the road
so as I pulled right he revved his mighty engine and floored it up the road

there was no way on Earth he could see anything on teh road in front of him at that point unless it had headlights on!!!
any cyclist or pedestrian would just be dead
and there is a pelican crossing just up there


anyway - no-one died
by luck not judgement!

Oh and the Watford gap thing just defines South

coming North iyou have the Midlands first before civilisation


and anyone calling Birmingahn North needs a good talking to!!!

No it’s civilisation. Just ask the Romans.🫣

When you watch the news or national weather both Liverpool and Manchester are "in the north west. Chorley is slightly further north than them.

 

[Webbo2]

The wall ?

Hadrians.

 

[Dave7]

Hadrians.

Oh, I thought someone must have built a new wall at Watford.
