The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Welcome Bob. I'm sure we can enlighten you!!! I'm from the Red Rose County of Lancashire - northwest England. I live in a small rural village of 33 cottages near Chorley - pronounced Chawle locally.

Your first definition - bimble, a nice, relaxed ride often on a sunny day. @welsh dragon bimbles frequently

Why thank you paul. @BobP i live in Wales. West Wales.

The 16x8ft shed roof is now refelted, took most of the day with the help of youngest son, got to be honest and say I enjoyed the day and enjoyed his company. I am so lucky to have 3 great sons and a fantastic wife.

Oops! forgot I live in rural Lincolnshire and happen to be a UK distributor for an American company who keep asking me to visit them, I may do one day.

All I said was "Why not put a jumper on?" I mean where is the harm in that? This is what jumpers are for - keeping warm.

So the central heating wars are over. Concessions have been made (on one side ), the timer set as agreed, thermostat set as agreed, a non proliferation treaty signed........ Some of which probably contravenes the Geneva Convention, ECJ and CHR.

The thermostat is located in the same room as the wood burner.........I may light the wood burner tomorrow.

Takes off HIS jumper.....

I've got the same set. It's great.......central heating apart.

But alas I can only translate proper English and many of the old farts on here speak there own strange local dialect.
But they mean well

I speak coventarian with a southern accent, it's amazing, I've been here since 1973 and you can still hear Kent in my accent.

We have done some walking around there. Worked with a company based near there. Beautiful area.
