There’s a chicken farm just down the road from here with eight huge broiler houses which rear hundreds of thousands of birds.They go in as day old chicks and are reared for six weeks then off to the factory in Hereford.I don’t eat chicken anymore,Tracy does.I do eat Turkey at Christmas and the odd bit of pheasant now and again.We did have some partridge a few weeks ago,but I’m not that fussed on that.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
The nearest I get to a decent bit of fowl these days is a nice home reared chicken
brought on by our local butcher corn fed specially for the table and only available on
the odd occasion and on special order, there’s a world of difference between his and
the frozen supermarket stuff or their things they sell as fresh oven ready, tasteless
to me, this lads birds are a bit pricey but I suppose, you only get what you pay for.
thanks harry, long retired.That bird sounds a bit more attractive than the old boilers from Aldgate Harry.
Hiya,
Ah’ yes, but Kevin we had a few lookers out Hampstead way where I was “resident”,
two or three nights a week anyway, and Dave I’d rather chew an old 40x8 rather
than tackle turkey, it is forced on me every Xmas Day “well it is traditional” but I
usually fill up with them little bacon wrapped “sausage thingy’s” they’re tastier than
bland turkey meat, now with a bit of luck the daughter might read this and leave
me off the Christmas lunch list and I’ll just stop at home with a full English/Welsh
breakfast, yes proper food and lots of cholesterol you can’t whack it.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry, you are too set in your ways, 
never mind it’s only 9 months to christmas, you can get your part in Christmas Carol, as Scrooge bah humbug! 
Never mind Christmas Norm.Lets have a nice summer before we get around to that farce again.
Cheers Dave.
Summer 
How many days will it be this year, we had a week of warm weather, and they put a hosepipe ban, then it never stopped raining.
We had a lovely day here yesterday,was sat out on the patio for over an hour,but its been overcast today.Rain again from midweek onwards,but lets hope it improves from May onwards.
Cheers Dave.
Amen to that Dave, a nice day today, Harry is probaly too busy counting all the nightout money he saved up, spoke to a arab from Tunisia, he told me a man from Durham gave him a tip, it was silver in colour and had esso on one side, and “Bobby Charlton” on the other! he said his name was Harry! 
Norman Ingram:
Amen to that Dave, a nice day today,
1970 world cup coins.I have some here somewhere.I didn’t purposely collect them,but I always bought esso petrol in those days. Could be a collecters item now Norm ?
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
I remember putting a good handful of the things on the windowsill at my then
home and watch from my armchair the local urchins nicking them thinking I
wasn’t taking any notice, I did hang the tigers tail from the filler cap and stick
the the sticker bearing the legend “I’ve got a tiger in my tank” on the back of
the cab.
thanks harry, long retired.
All the promotional freebies have disappeared now Harry.The supermarkets give a 5p a litre discount if you purchase over X amount of goods in store and that’s your lot. They have all sorts of so called stuff on offer at the pumps,but its usually something you can buy for the same price elsewhere.
I have cut my mileage by half over the last three years.Some of that is down to the poor weather,with thee rest down to the price of fuel.
Time to purchase a bicycle. 
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Had a couple of major services had my lamp oil checked “headlamps OK” and had
a check-up at my GPs and given my three monthly shot of “Red-ex” a vitamin B12
injection, seemingly the Americans pay a fortune for this, but got to admit mine
must be watered down cos’ I don’t feel any different, the doc reckons I should be
able to leap over walls after it’s been admiistered, but I can barely get upstairs.
thanks harry, long retired.
Dave I want to know what Harry been up to For I read that a man in Newcastle had earnt £150 a day begging there, and he drank “Grouse”, so you see why I am suspicous!

Perhaps you should build a wall at the foot of the stairs Harry,then you can leap over it and then climb the upstairs.Perhaps they should have given you a turbo to boost your energy.
Glad your lamp oil was OK.
Cheer’s Dave.
