@SteveCaple4 I went in “The Star’ a good few times c45 years ago on our epic Northants wide pub crawls - it used to serve Hook Norton beers straight from the barrel I seem to remember.

[Nick Pearson @nwpearson]

@SteveCaple4 I thought so.

In the WW1 the Supreme Allied Commander, Foch, was French. In WW2, it was Eisenhower so nothing new in the British forces ultimately being under the command of someone who is not a British Citizen.

Richard showing that he did not understand the ECA 1972 or parliamentary sovereignty. Richard is a helmet. Don't be like Richard and do believe everything you read about marmalade either.

@SteveCaple4 Wobbled my way home in East Haddon from there on my bike on a few occasions.

@PaulOzNo1 Yep, 9 years in Sept.

@PaulOzNo1 Well I’ve been in the yesterdays man club for 9 years & never been happier so enjoy the future. There is more to life than debt advice.

[Nick Pearson @nwpearson]

@PaulOzNo1 Anyway, are you packing it in then m’owd? Retiring? I’m just about to start a new 2.5 day a week job as it happens as an Environmental Maintenance Executive! Basically strimming, chainsawing, mowing & hedge cutting in the bog wildlife walk area in the nearest village to our farm.

@PaulOzNo1 @Debtmastersize5 8c here in Lovely Leitrim!

[Nick Pearson @nwpearson]

@Debtmastersize5 Good points - I was a bit of a sceptic about it at the time but in the pilots, the loans were popular with customers, esp those who never repaid them!

[Nick Pearson @nwpearson]

So this idea has resurfaced - I was on a HM Treasury Taskforce that recommended this 20 years ago https://t.co/imtxmZyvNP

“In the context of the particular game, I have never seen a better test match innings.”

~ Richie Benaud

In 1991, Graham Gooch scored 154* that inspired England to their first home Test win against West Indies for 22 years.

He scored 61% of England's 252 runs in 2nd innings (an English record) - 8 batsmen failed to make it out of single figures.

@SteveCaple4 I remember it well. My maternal Grandad got a job there in 1947 after being demobbed. Did 30+ years there.

[Nick Pearson @nwpearson]

@PaulOzNo1 I know that feeling. Went over on my arse carrying a bale of hay up to my sheep this morning.

@derekpringle A much underrated player was AWG.
