    You expect me to take how many?

    Good grief, that looks like my regimen, except that I have a couple of inhalers prescribed for twice a day.

    It's arrived!

    I'm not tempted by Amazon Prime. I let items accumulate in the Saved for Later section of my basket until there's enough to qualify for free shipping. Then, if I still need them, I move them to the basket and place the order.

    Be Careful

    I keep seeing photos of British snow on my computer screen, and then I'm surprised when I look out the window and it's just autumn here.

    If Only

    I have no idea about contemporary farm equipment. Been off the farm since 1966, and it was sold in '68. We had a team of horses until the early '50s, replaced with a couple of gasoline tractors. We had no diesel equipment.

    If Only

    When I was young and living on the family farm, we had a gasoline tank buried under the lawn next to the driveway, with a pump above it. Bought gas from Agway (formerly GLF) at about $0.25 a gallon.

    Can you spot it

    Spotted it, unless there's more than one.

    Gentle Comedies - The Definitive Guide

    Question for @gothic Can the list be moved to the Episode Guide section of the forum and pinned so that it remains at the top of the section?

    Open All Hours pilot episode

    Yes, and I have seen that location. Years ago, the first time I viewed the pilot, I didn't notice the difference, except for the stepladder outside the window in the kitchen door. That was an interior scene, so I can't imagine why the view out the window was so carelessly designed.

    Open All Hours pilot episode

    I just started re-watching the series after a long hiatus, starting with the pilot. This time, having seen this thread, most of my attention was on the appearance of the exterior and the neighboring houses. I'll have to watch it again to pick up on the dialog.

    A closer look into the Standedge Tunnel - Diggle to Marsden

    I've taken the tour into the Tunnel, but never that far nor with that level of expertise!

    How do YOU view the forums / website?

    Not a fan of the tangle of cables all over the place. For decades, I've kept a supply of various-sized batteries on hand. When the supply gets low, I add them to the shopping list for the next time I'm out.

    "It's Chriiiiistmaaaaaas!"

    Back when I could be bothered to decorate for the holidays, I'd put the tree up and decorate it around mid-December, but wouldn't turn on the lights until the winter solstice. I was celebrating the pagan holiday with our ancient ancestors.

    Railway Escape

    I still "need" to buy a replica of the green man gargoyle on York Cathedral. My garden (UK English) or yard (US English) badly needs his spell cast over it. The problem is finding one that's light-weight enough to carry home in my luggage.

    Dunkin Delight

    Darjeeling for me. Yorkshire tea is much too strong, even with the addition of a lot of oat milk. Earl Grey disagrees with me - must be the bergamot. I don't ordinarily add either milk substitute or sugar to tea, and I don't dunk anything in it.

    Fireworks

    With all of the veterans there are suffering from PTSD and having melt-downs at anything that sounds like firearms, I'd plump for silent fireworks. Noisy ones aren't a problem for me since I was dosed with an intravenous ototoxic antibiotic for a couple of months. All I have to do is turn my...

    Linesman

    Speaking of not wearing ties, for my first four years with Corning Glass Works, I was the computer tech in one of the local factories. I lost count of the number of male colleagues that I had to warn against letting their ties dangle over the moving machinery!

    Dodgy Fish & Chips Anyone

    With some brands, I use vice-grip pliers to unscrew the caps.

    A brief interview with Sir David Jason - ITV

    Thanks. That's really how I currently look. My hair stylist took the photo on my phone ten days ago.
