    Aren't councils silly!

    When we used to visit Skegness and Mablethorpe, theirs had automatic gates. We used to put one 20p coin in the slot and the gate would stay open long enough for my brother, Dad and I to all go through before it automatically closed. Unfortunately that method did backfire once. We weren't aware...

    Aren't councils silly!

    True. If you can, try to go in a supermarket or a pub. They are usually free.

    Shops no more....

    My phone is the same, too old for going online. Besides which, as many people still would, I would rather talk to a real person in an actual branch.

    Our local council have just refurbished, upgraded and reinstated some public toilets in the town. They now charge 20p a time to visit (only payable contactless). The point is that there is an Asda supermarket literally only two minutes walk down the road, where you can use their toilets for...

    Shops no more....

    Fortunately Dad and I still have our bank branches. Dad's is still fully operational, but mine, sadly has extremely reduced services.

    "That men there...or there...?"

    I wonder why he didn't tell such war stories in his first stint?

    "That men there...or there...?"

    True, definitely two eras, mainly because of the change in co-stars. In Foggy's first stint, there were Sid and Ivy, Nora and Wally. In his second, he had Howard, Pearl, Marina and Auntie Wainwright, etc... to contend with. If the co-stars were the same in both era's, I think I may have thought...

    Four legged friends

    A man and his dog visited Auntie Wainwright in one episode. He was the 100th person to pass the shop. "The wife'll go crackers when she knows what it cost. The old witch even sold something to the dog!" I think it was a 1990s Foggy episode....?

    Four legged friends

    There was a dog in The Mysterious feet of Nora Batty, when Foggy had suggested they roll their trousers up round the next corner. It chased them down past Nora's house.
