You sir are correct

If memory serves me correctly he had a program on the steam radio Sunday lunch time

It can get very busy at times, but this morning it was quiet, I usually find that the further away I get from Coventry the quieter it gets, it tends to be very busy around the old Royal court hotel with the traffic coming of the Coundon Wedge Road.

IIRC, Coundon Wedge Rd was justified to serve the Jaguar works which were previously accessed via Browns Lane? Then, of course, they pretty much closed the factory!

I used to play on Coundon Wedge as a child, before it had the road pushed through it. My cycle route out towards Corley used to start down North Brook Road and continue past Staircase Lane, both of which were messed up by the Wedge road. After that, I either used to ride up Long Lane to Tamworth Rd and go that way, or go through Brownshill Green and Corley Moor.

Right.
Old farts quiz No 2.
Who controlled Archie Andrews ?

Anyone watch the new series of The Larkins Personally I know it’s early days but I don’t think it’s a patch on the original with David Jason

When our lads were small and we lived in Earlsdon we would often walk across the wedge on a summers afternoon. Theres now an Amazon warehouse of the wedge road.

Say you're withholding payment until their contractor does the job they've been paid to do.

This talk of when you were born reminds me of the lines about California, where I was born in 1949...
The miners came in 49
The whores in 51
And when they got together
They made the Native Son.
Glad to hear you bimbled, Mo.
Tomorrow at 8 am I will have a laser procedure to collapse the varicose veins in my right leg. It is outpatient and I can drive myself home although I must wear support panty hose continually for 3 days, after which I can bathe. No heavy lifting for a while so I hope the expected snow Tue and Wed aint too heavy as l will need to make a path for the old dog to relieve herself outside.
Be well and safe.

That Lancashire forecast for snow was correct then, they just got the continent wrong.
Take it easy, like the nurse said.

We watched it.
At best it was OKish.
MrsD enjoyed it.

I once got in deep water with Mrs Tenkaykev when she returned from the shops with yet another load of fresh produce to cram in the salad drawer. I asked “ did you want me to put this straight in the bin, or shall I put it in the fridge for a week or so first? “

You do like to live dangerously!

 

[BoldonLad]

Finally after not sure how long, I have bimbled. Only 17 miles and not sure how much I enjoyed it compared to how I used to feel about cycling, but it's done.

Well done, I am sure you will soon be on top form, 50 miles before breakfast, and, still be first on here

Back from the Hygienist, wow what a difference. Normally just have a scale and polish from the dentist every 6 months, but the Hygienist really dug deep. There're like Jurgen Klopp's now

A day on the beach today, Findhorn to Roseisle. Waved to @Chief Broom across the water.
