Definitely not. In my top 3 bands from the era (along with The Boos and Denim).

Their first two albums (Supernaturals) had fantastic fizzy pop melodies... Sheffield Song is a corker.

For a band that focused on wry/humourous songs, they were way above average. Certainly preferable to Scouting For Girls (although their first album was listenable).

Saw him on that album's original tour. Did a great cover of David Bowie's Kooks. The Supernaturals were supporting (and most excellent they were too).

My mum's (which was her mum's) is now lost ☹️ Last year I bought the most recent version and yes the scone recipe is good (but my go to is the National Trust recipe). Even now, the Be-Ro book is a fantastic little guide.

You *know* it makes sense. Folklore not fascism.

Such is life when you're retired.

I was on the edge of being unhealthily excited when my Morris bells arrived...

Does dog walking, contacting HMRC and insurance companies, and playing with Morris bellpads count as exciting?

Ta muchly. I noted they were solid pads but was told there wasn't a corporate view as such. I've had these pads lying around waiting to be used...

So then. New morris bellpads. Do I go with this array (pattern repeated on the other 3 straps) or just go full on with the large bells.

I suspect the ribbons will go inbetween the straps & across the bottomas there's no real space behind the bells.

@thelloydjenkins.bsky.social any thoughts?

Ouch, do you need a retired nurse to attend with some antihistamine cream?

Once again, a lovely view to starty day off just right.
