Cooooeeee it's only me.

Well done Ann, starting the day off for us all.

A bit blowy here at the moment.

I think it was 1962, ah yes I remember it well. Hadn't passed my test long and was caught doing 45 in a 30 limit on a very quiet Sunday morning. I was find £7 pounds 10 shillings.

My dad who's car it was gave me a long lecture and I haven't exceeded the speed limit since. Well I haven't been caught ;-)

Hello Ann :-D

Sorry a bit late today ...moving furniture around :-D

Hello everyone :-D

I hope you are all having a great day :-D

Rain back again today but I really don't mind :-D

Suex :-D <3 :-D <3 :-D <3

GiN. look for your reciept or Credit /Debit card one. that should be enough. also as its Electric its covered by more than just one year.**M**.Think it is about 5yrs.

Afternoon Barb Sue and Merls,

Well Barb I thought I would have to take the liberty of starting the thread as I thought you were all having a lay in :-D :-D

Plus the fact that we would have one sulky Liverpool lass on our case :-D

I can just see you speeding along in your little soft top Ford in your Mary Quant frock with your Bouffant flying in the breeze :-D :-D

Now where is that pesky Errol??? ;-)

Hi, Barb, Susan and Merlin! :-D :-D :-D

Barb - never been caught for speeding, but did have a prang a couple of weeks after passing my test. Policeman who dealt with it was pleasant enough, but did warn me that I might be had up for dangerous driving. Fortunately, it never happened, but imagine my delight when he came into the library where I worked, and I had the pleasure of charging him a very large fine on his overdue books - and, no, I didn't let him off (more than my jobsworth)! :-D ;-)

Thanks for the advice, Merlin. Engineer is returning later in the week, so will see what happens. :-)

BinG, Curious? how did you get caught Speeding? I thought you Drove a Besom. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)

I do get about on me Besom nowadays no tax or insurance and no highway code but it was along time ago before I turned into an old witch. ;-)

Hactually it was a VW saloon thinggy. Not a Beetle. My dad ran a driving school and had the plates and name of the school on show. Even the copper was unimpressed.

GiN I can imagine the bobbies face seeing you in the library :-D :-D

Barb - I felt a bit bad about it, really, he was a nice bloke! But, as a (then) junior assistant, I couldn't not charge him! ;-)

Good afternoon Everyone and a big thankyou to Ann for starting the thread off this morning.
I've just arrived back from the Doctors and the heavens have opened. It's absolutely pouring down and the local radio has warned of thunder and lightning later.
I passed my test in 1966 when we used hand signals. Everything was done by hand in those days. I only had one warning from the police and that was for speeding through the newly opened Tyne Tunnel. I gave up driving in the 1980's.
GinN - I didn't win the jackpot last night but I won £10 on the lottery so the drinks are not quite on me just yet.

Hello, GP - well, you can still afford one of those half price bottles of wine! :-D ;-)

Don't blame you for giving up driving - public transport is so good on Tyneside. Non existent here - most people have a car each! :-D

I luvsya all I do on this special Marshmallow day <3 <3 <3

Just popping in to say hi, thanks for keeping our thread all fun and smiley :-D :-D <3

Well, Hi, Mersey! :-D <3

Hope you are still having yourself a good hols. Have you got Errol down there with you? He's gone AWOL again! :-D :-D

Ha Ha GP. I thought for a second you had some bad news.

You went to the doctors and the heavens opened :-D :-D ;-)

Then I thought nah our GP wont be going up there ;-) :-D

Happy Monday Mersey :-D <3

Oh, yes, you went to the Docs - hope everything is OK? :-)

Not seen or heard from him GeordieN :-0 :-0

Only popping in for a quick visit Im resting LOL....

Im off to look for 2 geriatric sheep, and go on a micro pig trail laters...LOL

Afternoon ladies & gents :-D

Geriatric sheep and micropigs! My, how some people have fun on their hols! :-D :-D ;-)

Can I ask, if anyone on here posted on Sandie's thread, could they go back and now delete their posts. the thread has been re-instated but unstickied so is way down the page. apparently the person who RRd it, we are told, did it in error, they meant to just ask for it to be unstickied. We are all deleting our posts so that the thread stays as it was before it was reported. :-)

Hi Barbs - Wheres your photo ?
I went to the doctors because my blood pressure had risen slightly and I can only assume it was caused by talking to you lovely ladies. :-D ;-). We also discussed another small matter. ;-) ;-)
GinN - we probably have one of the best public transport systems outside of London. There was no half price Wairou Cove white wine left so its back to 3 bottles for a tenner again.
Hi Mersey - hope you are enjoying your holiday. Have you caught any sheep rustlers yet ? :-D :-D ;-)
