Dave the Renegade:
Tracy is Herordshire and I’m Radnorshire-Herefordshire border Pete which is a language completely slang. That’s why years ago, you thought the drivers at the Gore were speaking Welsh.
Cheers Dave.
Haha, I remember that Dave! Very regional around here, Wirksworth folk speak differently to Matlock etc. In Matlock they call ‘guttering’ LAUNDER yet my pals in Buxton and Bakewell had never heard that expression and they are born and bred in the area. Imagine my problem 40 years ago coming from Berkshire and arriving at Ballidon quarry where we had folk from all over the show, Potteries, Staffs, Ashbourne, Manifold Valley, Buxton as well as all the small villages, they couldn’t understand me and vice versa! At Ballidon we used to play football at snap time and this lad told me to ‘fetch the pill’ which meant get the ball! Hadn’t a clue what he was on about.

Dost know what lobby is Pete and a three late 'arkner
Tony
Well when I was at school a lobby was a passage way & the other meant up the stick,Or a bun in the oven,■■, Regards Larry.
Lobby is stew and a thee late arkner is a three valve wireless.A passage round here is a ginnel.They have a lobby in parliament
The annual farce with my car insurance renewal. (shop around). I’ve just received mine…“we will automatically renew your policy etc. etc.”
You’d better bloody not.
This year, no changes, no claims, no convictions, inflation at an all time low, they have somehow decided I deserve a 20% increase in the premium.
Well they can stuff that, I shall be ringing them tomorrow. No I do not want a Churchill toy dog.
.
…
And the bar stewards charged me the thick end of £60 in June for a 2 week Green Card extension.
I’m not happy, 20 bloody %
MORAL…don’t have automatic renewal, shop around, every year
you might have no claims or alterations brian , but we are all paying for the idiots who bump and bang their way about . " insurance will sort it out " . i have never had a claim since i started driving , why do i only get 9 years no claims . my son still drives for a living and the cheeky sods are wanting to know about work related claims as well . every time there is a major incident , factory fires , industrial events they load the car policies to recoup their losses . you can’t beat a good rant on a sunday morning can you ? dave
Well the toy dog can stick it up his jacksy, I’ve been on the comparison sites and for IDENTICAL cover for me and the staff I reckon I can get it £100 cheaper.
There’s a difference between having a laugh and taking the p**s
G.O.M Log onto the Aviva website they were the cheapest I could get my van for and you get extras like free breakdown cover etc. Worth a few minutes of your time I think.John
I have recently changed to Churchill after viewing Go Compare, £340 cheaper than Rias who I have been with for years. I phoned Rias and told them that I was changing (£540 for a ten year old Peugeot Partner parked on a private road and with full no claims was a joke) and they said “Don’t worry sir, we can improve on that”. They did, they knocked £40 off! So that was the end of them, I never got offered a Churchill dog though.

Hello Pete
My mate has had a renewal for his 03 Mondeo with Saga and they want £500.Sometime ago I was with Aviva and then up the price so went with Churchill.Allright for a couple of years then.Anyway back to Aviva and a good deal a couple of years a or so and this last renewal was nearly the same.It was the same with my contents ins.so again I went back to Aviva a couple of years ago and has only gone up about a fiver and that is after they payed out for some ■■■■■■■ breaking into my shed and cleaned me out.I’d got a few of my dad’s tools which no compesation will the personal loss.Aviva did me well.What do you do with keeping your shed secure nobody takes any notice of alarms and the problem is the more secure you make a shed the more damage you get.They undid the hinges so no damage apart from I had to borrow a screwdriver to fasten them up.It is said you should put a good lock on your oil tank but they’ll only drill it
Just a couple of things on the accents…and a bit of Gods Black Country…
“Woi does a serjon were a mask when es doin an operation”…“.Soes they wo recognise im if e meks a mistake”!
“Ive ad to stop up wi the missus late at night cos of the obscene phone calls."....... "Mate.....thats terrible”…
“Ar…but thank goodness er`s promised me er will stop mekin them!”
Skool wus ard…
"Johnny…what comes after T "■■?
“The six o`clock news miss.”
Always an eye for a bargain…
“This Watch is a belter”…
“Wot meks it that good”
"It does an hour in 40 minute"s!
“Ive med a fool of British Rail" "Ows that?”
“I`ve bought a return to Bilston…and I aye comin back”!
The Pigeon Fanciers of Dudley were in uproar…
The Express and Star Headline read…
“Dudley Illegals”…
Everyone was rushing around asking…
“Ave yow seed the sick bird in the paper yet”■■?
And finally…
Aynok went fer a beltin job down the pit at Cradley…
The Gaffer asked him…
“D`you know yewer gas regulations”?
And remember this wus a beltin job…better than cleaning the Kennels at Monmore Green Dog Track…
“Well I know its Mark 7 fer me Yorkshire Puddins”…quoth he
I`ll go to bed now…
And Insurance companies…when I sold the John Deeres I advised the NFU…saying they`re all off to Africa…the pleasant young lady advised me that there would only be limited cover available…
A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train set in the living room.
She heard the train stop and her son saying, 'All of You bds who want off, get off now, 'cos we’re in a hurry! And all of you bds who are getting on, get on now, ‘cos we’re going down the tracks’.
The horrified mother went in and told her son, ‘We don’t use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language.’
Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say,‘All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you.
We thank you for traveling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one.’
She hears the little boy continue,‘For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today.’
As the mother began to smile, the child added…
'For those of you who are ■■■■■■ off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat controller in the kitchen.

Very true Harry. I think he’s on the spanners more than in the lorry these days. I expect he will return.
