  2. Small boat arrivals – last 7 days - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
  3. i think it comes from the Dutch word snappen which means snack

  5. iv'e got Hanwag special forces gtx had them 4or 5 years totally waterproof probably out live me to be honest not the lightest of boot but give lots of support
  6. my nana who owned a B&B in Rhyl in the 60s and 70s used to take me to see the wrestling when i was a kid in a cabaret bar called Tito's, i wasn't particularly into the wrestling but she took me because she loved it and was one of them women that would get up and shout at the baddies and try and hit them with her hand bag even as a kid i remember being embarrassed by it ,she was your typical northern land lady from Stockport

  13. well hats off to you Wilf if you can f**k 40 grand off for a days work but the reality is someone else made that money instead of you and i certainly could bite my lip if someone was talking to me in a rude manner if it meant i was getting 40k for a days work out of the deal that's for sure

  16. very true arry but the local people that have owned their houses for years or who's parents have left them a property gladly take the inflated prices for these property's .it's the locals that sell out in the first place usually and who can blame them .most of the wingers are hypocritical and when selling there own property very rarely if ever say they will only sell to a local and take a hit for 100 grand
