Harry my man you made the right choice, G for Glenfiddich is the better one as Im sure you will agree, I myself prefer the G for Glemorangie, or perhaps the G spot, what do you think me new owld pal Eh, Regards Larry…

hiya,
Yes Larry the G spot is only a distant memory but fortunately my
memory is still good enough to remember where i’ve parked the
Glenfiddich although I’m supposed to leave it alone due to some
new medication I’m taking, I will try again tomorrow to stop but
not too hard it might put a lot of people out of work.
thanks harry,long retired.

There could be an even bigger recession in the Northern part of these Isles Harry if you give up the malt. :wink:
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave I’ve had a rethink and it wouldn’t be fair to leave Larry
and the other single malt drinkers on here to prop the Scots
economy up by themselves, so I’ve binned the tablets.

hiya,
Getting out of washing up is quite easy,in your first year of wedded bliss
offer to do the dishes, you only need do this once but you must dry them
as well, just get on with it but put them away in the wrong places you are
guaranteed never to be asked again.PS Oh’ and break something special.
thanks harry, long retired.

buy the good lady a dishwasher harry , grand thing . just keep putting dirty pots in it until you can’t find a clean cup , then switch it on . they don’t need drying either . drawback is if your not drying the pots , she will find other urgent jobs that only you can manage . cheers , dave

Dishwasher, washing up, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: I thought you northern chaps was real men. :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: My daughter said to me, dad you are a good cook, you made cakes, fruit pies, meat pies, you sew, wash and iron clothes, why don,t you do it now! :wink: :wink: :wink: I said I made a pact when your mother was good at everything after I taught her, that I would leave the running of the house to her, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: and I would look after the garden and do the repairs. Besides that it’s important that a women feels needed and that the house wouldn,t run with out them. :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :blush: :blush: :blush: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

But why go to the expense when you’ve got a perfectly good dishwasher walking about. Credit where it’s due, they’re good at it.
She keeps saying we’ve got a dishwasher but I’ve no idea where it is, …“well, are you going to empty the dishwasher”?..“What are you on about?” :confused:

hiya,
Brian when working as a driver I got frequent bollockings for not
using the wagon washer, now that was big, and I wouldn’t know
where it was so how could “er indoors” expect me to find a little
kitchen appliance like a dishwasher women no brains.

Talking about cider Harry did you ever try that scrumpy used to deliver bottles to some of them farms down in Devon and Sommerset had a try like drinking petrol once del to a farm in Much Marcle Glos and the farmer ther had a nose like a road map and as many colours :laughing: :laughing: never touched that crap again me n ar lass just done 5 mile walk brake linings hot now time 4 a dram eh :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Hi Ray,
They make cider at Much Marcle in Herefordshire.

I went to the cider place to take barrel cradles back to them, a whole trailor load, when Carlsberg brewery wanted more space in the yard, they sorted out all the different breweries cradles, and I personally went to six cider places with cradle loads, & other breweries, also brought back our make. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Hi Norm,
I think Weston’s Cider from Much Marcle are the only one of the old cider makers in Herefordshire still family owned.
Bulmers are now owned by Heineken and a lot of their products have been moved from Hereford to Ledbury which is close to the M50.
Cheer’s Dave.

I used to back load from Bulmers sometimes in the 90s, It could be a quick load , or it could be a very long job at times, but the load was allways for the same delivery point so it wasnt too bad it was for Sunderland which was near to home for me & it was a decent pay job, ReGards Larry.,

Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Have loaded out of Bulmers on several occasions in the day it was all handball
and usually for Liverpool docks, a bit of a nightmare on a warm day the wasps
were everywhere and I always got lumbered with outside loading, pallets onto
the wagon yes but the product put on the flat and they take the pallets away.
thanks harry, long retired.

Have loaded out of S&N in Newcastle when it was there taken to several places mainly for export which was interesting as the bottles of Brown where a different size

There’s more seagulls than wasps there these days Harry.Cargill meats chicken factory,formerly Sun Valley are next door.So between them they attract the gulls.
A lot of Bulmer’s production is now at Ledbury.
Cheers Dave.
