House over the road from me had scaffolding put up about 3 weeks ago, Monday 6 council workers in 4 council vans came and changed the down pipe! 6 of them on the scaffolding chatting and making phones calls for an hour and a half!

Don't talk about non-ladder guys! On our terrace each property has a porch light, these are, as you should be able to guess, in the porch, but not all of them. Along at number 15 and number 25 the porch light is mounted, about 9 feet up...

Didn't quite have the same as you T, but when BT wanted to optic me in they had to apply to Corwall Housing, the owners of the footpath that needed digging, they had to send the application to the "Committee", who then had to return the...

One of us used to climb up on the roof of our two-story house and turn the antenna while another of us watched the effect on the screen and shouted updates to the one on the roof. Our parents probably were horrified at the danger, but...

Did you have some soft food on hand for your next meal after the extraction? My usual meal in that situation is two-thirds of my favorite Greek dessert: a dish of full-fat Greek yogurt topped with honey. The missing third ingredient is...

Should have been in the afternoon, at two thirty! :D

I think Wally was easy to pick out by his size and the way he spoke, I think it was the same for Compo. I do like First of the Summer Wine I thought it was done very well, they all knew war was coming but carried on with their...
