Working around Holmfirth for the next couple of weeks. As yet, I've not spotted any women wearing wrinkled tights.

What a nice part of the world though, enjoy it.

Getting up these days from a night's sleep is a lottery. Which part of my body will ache the first :confused:

They were good for recording family stuff for posterity. Lot of "absent friends" on there.

So far I haven't mastered the art of transferring them onto something more permanent although I got a machine from mail order which promised me it would be child's play.
Trouble is it wasn't oldie's play.

There`s a shop at the Rocket that does it mate ( if you`re in Liverpool ).

Thanks. There's probably loads of places if I looked into it.

I have a sister who lives just outside Hebden Bridge. All hills and dry stone walls. Love going to visit.

How old do you have to be to post in this thread? Because I'm 35, but the fact my favourite 90s bands are doing reunion / 20th anniversary tours makes me feel old.

Probably when you see a piece of knitwear and think "That looks comfortable" rather than "I would rather go out naked than wear that"

Or you buy trousers not for style but for the number of pockets they've got to fit all your knick-knacks in. Specs case, mobile, credit card holder, hanky, wine gums, keys, Rennies, medication, notes, coins.....
