Have a great time in Toulon. The fans all throw their newspapers in the air at the end of the match. Have been a few time for Toulon v Leicester Tigers. As I write you're winning 0-6 😊

George is named after George Barford. He was the gamekeeper, married to aunty Cardboard, who took William under his wing and encouraged him to train as a gamekeeper. Before then William had been a bit of a tearaway.

Wouldn't be worth it for cash as the majority pay by card now, might be worth some booze or tobacco but they're bulky to carry away

Love it!
Would make sense for it to be a silent but do we really want another Grundy/Horrobin with a criminal record? I'm hoping it's a character we won't be sad to lose. But then they killed Nigel 😪

Yes I was given the back story and I had done it but the interviewers didn't know that and the purpose was to practice skills in phrasing questions in a way to try to trip me up. I'll look for that programme

I once did a role play for trainee police interviewers where I was the person being interviewed. I had to answer 'no comment' to every question...it was extremely difficult to keep saying 'no comment' & nothing else

What about Bert Horrobin? He lives on the ground floor of the house and could get caught up in an altercation or simply have a stroke/heart attack during it?

Passed 1st time. Examiner was so chatty he forgot to tell me which way to turn at a T junction, then when I rolled back on hill start he said "I know you can do it, try again" and I did. That was 1973, still going, no points, no crashes but no objection to refresher

In UK if you intend to drive a manual you have to take your test in a manual. If you take it in an automatic then you can only drive an automatic

The £500 would have been better spent on a decent bike and clothing so that he could cycle to work, especially to places not served by a bus service

My granddad was the 11th child & born on 14th Feb & named Valentine accordingly (Val). My Dad got it as his middle name. 2 of his brothers were always known by their middle names but fortunately not my Dad.
