  2. I do remember my cousin being on strike in 1984, he said if they weren't on the picket line, they were in the field, at the allotment, or on the river bank. He said some people ate rabbit so often they haven't eaten it since the end of the strike. Cheers. Aled

  5. OK not yet cooked, but they look good!
  6. Interesting hearing what many of you guys talk about regarding working on various sites. As a student i spent my summers labouring on building sites. I always found there was a constant p*ss taking of us college boys, but provided we rolled up our sleeves and were prepared to pitch in and do our bit, we were given a grudging respect we were also young and fit, "he's studying at Uni but he is prepared to do a hard days graft for a days pay", i did not see the back stabbing you guys talk about, there would be an extra 10min stop at 10am, and lunch then...we all got on with it. ....as an aside re
  7. Yes, really bad experience in my previous role, person below me wanted my job, and would of done anything to get it, this included lies, going out of her way to be awkward, and phone calls to the grant giving organisation! A very toxic atmosphere and a very unpleasant person. Thankfully i got a new job, and i genuinely like my work colleagues, blimey what a difference!

    Cornwall trip

  14. As an aside, a bass has just been caught "up river" on the Tywi in West Wales yesterday!
  15. Blimey thats interesting, fished some of those Devon rivers mentioned back in the early 90's whilst at Plymouth Poly. Great fishing. So time to hang up the salmon and sea trout flies, and try for Bass on the fly...its great fun and the don't half hit the fly when they take!
  16. Managed first sea trout of the season on Saturday night, about 2.5lb, also lost a salmon of about 8lb, on fly before dark.
  17. Sunday Lunch with home grown potatoes.
  18. Dytkos, now that looks more like a Ploughmans lunch, which in my opinion does not count as salad.?
