I’ve not forgotten that, and neither have others. Really pleased you’re back, really pleased you’re in a better place, and really pleased you’re able to get such useful support here. Can’t offer much help with the smoking, but maybe a few squares of Cadbury’s might help? You know the ones - those 850g squares they sell around Christmas time. I think Amazon still have some……… Harry Thank so much for your very kind words Harry. They are heartfelt and very much appreciated. Best wishes always. Jane.

So an addition to the recipes is interesting for me even if it offends you. Thailand is a favourite place of ours, and have visited many times. Which areas did you visit?

yorkshirephil Posted January 16, 2023 #42005 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Someone took this yesterday from the bottom of our road, this is similar to what we see from our front window with the neighbours roofs removed, we lovingly refer to the masts as the two towers. We really are blessed. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The platform doesn't rotate, I don't think the general public can actually go up now, probably elf and safety. It does still have a maintenance lift and I imagine there is one hellava view from the top, probably see right across middle earth😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure John, it should have been down by now, so maybe the work on the original isn't complete, do you remember the old one coming down in 1969?

I certainly do, although I don't remember if the BBC ever gave us a refund for the loss of programme. I wonder how much back dated compensation would be worth now.!!!!

I think they only broadcast BBC2 from Emley moor and other stations and some radio from Holme Moss, however could be totally wrong as I was nobbut a sprog.

For the genuine story Mr Google would need consulting, but I think you may be right, however Emley moor was initially an ITV transmitter and Holme Moss was BBC, but I think you're right that BBC 2 started from Emley Moor, and then all channels eventually emigrated to Emley Moor. I think it was linked to the then new 625 lines definition, as opposed to the original 405 lines starting format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted January 16, 2023 #42016 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Getting used to driving new car, switching from manual to automatic, which standard for most hybrid cars, has been interesting my left leg is keeping still now, but still the temptation to change gear. The Pre collision system is interesting when I come to put car in garage it thinks I am about to collide with back wall regardless of how slow I drive. Other than that really enjoying driving it. Got boiler service engineer coming tomorrow as we had a fault messaged displayed on boiler and no hot water, resetting fixed the issue, but manual advised the should be checked by engineer give what fault relates too. Boiler still under warranty plus we have a service contract, so no cost involved but best get it checked given the current cold snap. I was pleasantly surprised to get a visit tomorrow when I rang this morning thought it might be a few days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted January 17, 2023 #42017 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Morning hope your ok 🙂 It's a frost covered morning -3.c for us this morning, a very good reason to stay indoors. Got the C- Heating on so nice and cosy . There will be a few scraping their car windows this morning .One bloke tried to do his with a Tesco club card but only managed to get 10% off 🙂 I like this cold weather joke Wife texts husband on a cold winter’s morning: "Windows frozen, won't open , any ideas ?." Husband texts back: "Gently pour some lukewarm water over it." Wife texts .."done that ..now laptops gone dead ,now what ?😉 Take care and keep warm . 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's now decided to stick it out for another year.🙃😉 I hope he waits until the weather warms up a bit or he could be out of work sooner than he expected😇 By 'eck, it's parky out there this morning, -3c here at the moment. It looks pretty though with a blue sky and the sun glttering on the frost. Take care if you're out and about and wrap up well.

Same here Avril, it is the first time this winter I remember seeing frost on the cars, we missed the last cold snap, on a cruise don't you know. We did have a nice walk and there were lots of other owd fogies out and about too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted January 17, 2023 #42022 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Morning all, very cold here, luckily no snow. I actually didn’t report in sick yesterday, John’s day off so I got a lift in which makes it easier for me, as I have to walk in the dark. Today is my day off so as they’ve changed my other day in the office from Wednesday to Friday so I won’t have to go in again until Friday. So I’m soildering on at the moment. Mum was a bit brighter yesterday but I don’t think she’s going to be home for a while. Just waiting for my grandson to be dropped off at midday so that will cheer me up. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
