Re: Seen in the News

It must have been a localised thing We3ndy. I never found it in the farming community but the Orange Me3n were very active in the towns I travelled through up the West side of Scotland. [/i] The sectarianism is largely confined to the central belt Stanley, I found the Orange marches particularly un...

Re: Seen in the News

The Hate Crime Act coming into force in Scotland. Interesting to someone like me who, loving Scotland and the Scots, moved up to Scotland in 1979 and was shocked by the religious hatred we found and the overwhelming hatred of the English which instigated our move back south 20 years later. I wonder ...

Re: Wildlife Corner

Well done Cathy. There was a curlew strolling around in the field yesterday, I had my phone but the curlew was too far away to get a good shot. I got my rarely used camera out of the cupboard, dashed back to the window and focused in on the bird just as it took off!

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

I came across that problem the last time I went to Devon. I had pre booked tickets from Skipton but the Leeds train was delayed, another earlier Leeds train arrived but I was told I couldn't get on it as my tickets were for the delayed train. If they were booked seats you could understand but they a...

I was glad to be able to go Gloria, I met Ken on a few occasions and I was a familiar face to Jean. I would think that most of those attending were ex RR colleagues.

It's because the National Archives chose Findmypast to digitise and publish it. 3 years work!

I had chicken pox when I was in my teens, it was very unpleasant. I always associate it with the Beatles Help! LP and a sunny week in the caravan on the East Coast recovering.

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...

After lunch I will be heading out onto Skipton Old Road, wearing a lot of warm clothing topped by a fluorescent vest, to pick up bags full of litter from the verges. It is Lothersdale's litter picking day but I like to join in as part of the road is within that parish.

Pendle Forest Ian. I'm told it has Arquiva A and B transponders for Smart meter data using LoRa radio. The tricky bit is coupling it with the meter I believe.
