  1. Got these garlics from Lidl today 37p each. last year I got garlic from reputable dealers and I was disappointed with the outcome. I’ll start these in pots in a poly tunnel and probably move them out in the spring. Cheers.
  2. Max should get back on here; I know he won’t, but he should. He asked me to pass on the same advice you’ve given, but I’d rather not get involved Cheers.
  3. Would that be a “ mish-mash” ? Cheers.
  4. The actor took his name from the old Northumberland ballad “ The Chevy Chase” The Chevy chase was a hunting area around the Cheviot hills in the Northumberland and Scottish Borders. The area was disputed and when the Earl Percy of Northumberland had a hunt on the land, the Scottish Earl Douglas took offence and it led to the battle of Otterburn, ( an area I have regularly hunted), and more than 100 men were killed. This led to “The Ballad of Chevy Chase.” An old Northumberland folk song . How an American actor came to use this as his name is beyond me, I thought it was jus

  10. It might be whoever created the earth coming to tell us it hasn’t worked and they are starting again from scratch….. Cheers.

  15. “Yesterday’s enemies are todays friends” ! Remember when the Germans and the Japs were our enemies? Now they are our friends……..supposedly. Real Politik…… Cheers.
  16. My daughter was engaged to an American marine gunnery sergeant who was in the embassy marine guard detachment in Saudi, and she spent some time in Camp Lejuenne in Carolina. I had many a great night with them in their Brass Eagle Bar at the Embassy, and found them great company and extremely polite and professional, but like all military had that humour that’s particular to the forces. They made me an honorary member and I got the T shirt; All I all, a great bunch of men I’d have back me up any time Cheers.
