I feel for the Bods seeking a Bank... On a couple of time, working away, I've found the hole-in-the-wall maching NBG. (and if you are working in some clients - especially working near cash registers - its not good to have a pocketful of money) Embarrasing trying to pay when your funds are safely loc...

Best Wishes to each.
I know so many people have their own special thoughts, so I will say no more.

Local Authority have BAGS-OF-MONEY.. This lot recently set out a Sundial of Brick Paving - you stand on the Centre and your Shadow ponts to the Clock marking on the brick Paving. Them They defaced it by putting in street lights of Several Stems (each Lamp) with constantl changing colouerd lights, an...

' afternoon each... Yes, Like you, Brian, I also have been a Presiding Officer, but for Health reasons I've not applied this year. I have done tis for two Authorities ,,, and the same Visiting prospective MP was the Same Man?? (He is "One of Us" as Mrs Thatcher announced when she claimed a...

Didn't know that. I think she had different Abodes in Westcliffe (Like Helem Mirrem). Joan Sims was the local Station Masters Daughter, who (it is said) started her perfoming life by entertaining the Passengers on the Platform - The Stationmaster was an Important Man, and the Floor level of His hous...

.... and all We've got is Peggy Mount, and Joan Sims... not to Mention Helen Mirren

Not heard of any of the Younger crew.

Ah, Yes I'm afraid many Authors seem to think that a "rebel" is A Good Example or Entertaining. I can't help but think how I could Co-operate with such person in "real life" (nasty cold shiver).

Not a Follower of Pop Music, But I seem to recall him of 1960 on a Lunchtime Radio show (May have been a once-a-week programme as as a break from "Workers Playtime") We only had limited Radio in my Apprenticeship days. The spark his name is putting into my mind are "My O'l Man's a Dus...

Hello.. or as a former bos used to say: "Hi Guys" ... Until one of the Ladies told him otherwise - don't Mess with East End Ladies. Not got much done today (as usual). Really must catch up on mail... I had a strange idea that this weekend was Easter. Obviously wrong! I am adjusting my plan...

' afternoon each.. If I set out on foot into the Very Near Nature reserve.. Afraid there are just Too many ill behaved Dogs, Kids and Feral Adults. Afraid Walks usually rely on A But to the top of Crown Hill, or Two buses to The swamps by the River. I used to be "Link-man" for a Social Clu...

A Great shame that The World cannot "Preserve Everything" .. Fred Dibnah was much more interesting as a make/restore/repairman than as a demolisher. His "Last " chimney demolish was the Thameside Brickworks, Now Known as Morrison's Supermarket.

I feel a bit pretentious welcome you - You've all been here Longer than I.

I should, perhaps, not mention this... I was involved with installation/updating/maintenance programmes for London to Paris/Bruxelles Trains.. All gone now of course - Their twenty year service sent many to the breakers, The EU absorbed the remaining british ones, The service Moved to a Different De...

Well, Theres a co-incidence.. As soon as I mentionn County History.... Just got an e-mail re Local arcavists having a programme of Various Local Speakers Having County Lecture/discussions in The Record Office. Seems that Sam Courtauld had a Weaving Factory in The North of the County... And I only th...

Yes, Brian.. I'm wondering how much of that Ancient Essex Industry (Seasalt Harvesting) still has the Original Roman pans on that original site.

Not seen anybody here lately.. I was getting Lonely. The Local History Group (not Necessarily Retirement) are VERY err, Local. Verging on The Personal Ancesstors (Seems My Grandad was involved in Fitting up the Gas-making Site in the Local Railway Station). There are sundry Retirement Outfits of all...

The Lady Publican in The Hoy and Helmet has gone very quiet in the local Newspaper.

In fact all the boards seems to be "Difficult" tonight. Of course, It could be a local link. I'm giving up for today. Goodnight each.

Lady M reported on Faceache that a "Server" (whatever that is) has broken down. Afraid I rather lost the thread of Peeps latest Medical Probs.. Sometime difficult to get into Peets.

Is that you: Whatsername.
The last time someone insisted that They Knew me? So I aked for the Fiver He owed me.. That's when He remembered his Mistake.
