Doubt it Malcolm. Polystichum Munitum is a native of North America. My guess would be Dryopteris filix-mas.

But they will allow you to erect a memorial if you find the Money?

KITCHEN? I think it's the female equivalent ofGARAGE - you know, that place we often see the old man disappear into and come out again with oily hands and an empty wallet!

I give up!

Now that's Amazing. The last post was underlined in RED but appears OK once posted. This post is in italics. Let's see what happens when I post it.

I haven't touched anything! Honest! These underlinings and crossings out are just appearing from nowhere. They are driving me mad!

The Girl guides used to get an invite as well.

Couldn't have put it better myself Malcolm! My sentiments exactly!

How on Earth do you cut "thin slices of minced meat"? As yet I haven't come across the old Swedish Word kollops. Most knowledgeable sources here say that kalops originates in the English Word collops. However it isn't impossible that it's come full circle. Some other Words have such as - kex, from the English Word cakes - from the ON Word kaka.

That's really interesting Maggie. I've never Heard of Collop Monday. Perhaps we should try to get it going again. Bacon butties anyone?

And that was just the lasses, Paul!

Certainly do Foxy. The opencast was a field where we used to play that originally belonged to Fails Farm, if I'm not misstaken. It was between the colliery rows and what eventually became North Ridge. One of the things I remember about the opencast was a small red brick building, just up the road from Raisbeck's Garage, where they used to put new treads on enormous tyres. Possibly from the trucks on the site. The smell was horrible. -
We've been trusting the technology here for years Maggie. It works just fine. Everybody here wants wind turbines BUT nobody wants them in their back garden!! Unfortunately they have very large back gardens. It's a real headache. I personally Think they are quite attractive but could be improved if they were painted to look like flowers (pink/ blue/red petals, yellow centre, green stalk). It could be like a field of poppies swaying in the wind! I Think there's something soothing about the steady motion of a wind turbine. A possible alternative to NHS prescribed tranquilizers.

Rreminds me of something I saw in China a couple of years ago. Land for agriculture is now hard to find so they are building multi-storey green houses. Look just like blocks of flats.

I also had such a trusty steed for getting to and from school in Nedderton village. I don't remember that emblem though. On mine there was only a very simple CWS in gold-coloured lettering.

Origin's a bit more difficult. Longbenton maybe? I'll have to work on it.

Louped it is! Even this is a left-over from the Vikings, hlaupa. Still in use in Iceland.
