If you haven't read the books or watched the programmes I suspect you may enjoy them.

Hi Pen,

I have read each book in the series at least two times and have watched each episode in the TV Series at least once.

We visited Shrewsbury on our trips to England in 2006 and 2010 with the express intent of seeing the spots that have survived that are mentioned in the books. I can’t get to the computer at the moment because it’s better to let sleeping dogs lie, but when we get up, I will look at the diaries and photos to see if any are worth  putting in a post.

Regards, Jack

Hi Jack

I hope you can find something worth posting - I look forward to it :)  I do love seeing your pictures from your visits to England :) (and Scotland!)

I've had a long busy day so I'm going to search for a few words and slump in my chair in front of the box!  I've got Only Connect to watch.  It's a bit like watching University Challenge - can't answer many questions but quite entertaining ;D

Weather's turned with a vengeance here :(  It's howling a gale & lashing down with rain.  Very glad I'm indoors!

Hi Pen,

I told Blue that teaching grammar is going out of fashion.  He said,”I don’t know why. It’s the difference betweer knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit.”

Blue wanted to know why nobody is ever the right amount of whelmed.

A scene of modern Britain played out on a Great Western Railway train going from London to Cardiff yesterday. A woman wearing a niqab was chatting to her son in another language. After five minutes, a pompous git of a man suddenly snapped: ‘If you’re in the UK, you should speak English.’ At this, another passenger turned round and explained in a soft lilting voice: ‘Hey boyo, we’re in Wales. And she’s speaking Welsh.’”

Love that programme, Pen.  Makes me feel quite thick but so smug when I can actually work out the answer. >:D  Extreme lateral thinking required and it does help if you look nerdy, too!  >:D

I know exactly what you mean Linda :laugh:  I feel very thick when Victoria explains the answer & I think "why on earth didn't I get that?!"  :(  Perhaps I just don't look nerdy enough >:D

As promised, some of our memories of Shrewbury

Hi Jack

I thoroughly enjoyed your pictures - especially the first two :laugh:  Smashing pictures & your diary is interesting and really tickled me! I thought a full English breakfast was compulsory when staying in a hotel >:D

I'm scarpering early today in about 15 minutes.  I'll have a proper look at your rebus later on.

In the first picture, focus on what's on the toilet seat.

hi Pen,

A little extra help.

The Conjunction is and.
The author deliberately misspelt the third word.
