Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[JohnDF]

a security guard told me that access is now only permitted to those paying an admission charge!

That's sad... they probably pay more for the security guard than they get from admissions.

Yes, there was nobody else there, as usual. They're security crazy, there's even CCTV cameras in the woods!

That’s kinda creepy.

That’s kinda creepy.

Isn't it just?!

Thanks John I had to add a new one to my CV yesterday, getting thrown out of a church! I've mentioned the Harewood Estate before, a vast private estate built on money from slavery by generations of a ruthless and corrupt family (who still owned plantations in the Caribbean until 1975, and were still being compensated for having to give up their slaves until about 5 years ago). There are suspiciously few public rights of ways through their land, and while they suck up every grant and hand-out they can get, access is only allowed to most of the estate on payment of a fairly steep admission charge. I've visited the 14th century church many times, and have never seen another soul there, but it seems, contrary to what I'd always understood, that's owned too, and when I visited yesterday, a security guard told me that access is now only permitted to those paying an admission charge!

May heaven requite them.

That wasn't supposed to be a ha ha, but tears of sorrow.

Just sayin'

I once got a neighbourhood cafe in Barcelona to make me a chippy butty, by the end of the week, everyone was eating them

In my younger, fierier, days, I once turned up to visit Salisbury Cathedral (in 1984) to find turnstiles on the entrance! I carried on so much that they not only let me in for free, but everyone who was there! Since then, unfortunately, it's become the trend for large British cathedrals to charge expensive admission fees. York Minster, for example, has benefited hugely from public generosity over the years, but I can't afford to go through the doors anymore

Thanks Bill, that pint went down pretty fast, as did the next one

Anybody can heat fries, and make a sandwich Bill! It might not be an authentic chip butty, but it'll get you in Or you could just go to your local cafe and ask them to make you one, what's the worst that can happen?!

Great project and pics buddy

I've just been working on a project of my own Rubbed it down with Henderson's Relish!

Looks much tastier than my gunstock - LOL

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a great weekend Some pics from my walk yesterday

I'm carrying my Hartshead Barlow again today Enjoy your Sunday Guardians

That's an awesome group of photos from your walk, yesterday; amazing countryside with a wonderful tote and pint, Cheers!

It might have to be a chip butty.

It's a wonder you were even allowed to take that photo. One thing i have learnt about " security " over the years is their inability to compromise and make reasonable decisions on the run. It they were told no one is to take any photos and they saw a ninety year old lady on a walking frame taking a photo they would put her in a head lock and call for help. Not all of them, some of them are okay, most just in it for the quick cash. See what i did there, covered my own ass first.

And the winner is the young girl in the last video, if only for pure enthusiasm. But her knowledge on the construction of the " Chip Butty " was outstanding and her ability to keep us entertained first class. I thereby declare her the Winner.

Ignore all that stuff about needing butter for a chip butty Jer, the vast majority of chip butties here are made in fish and chip shops, where they 'butter' the bread with margarine

I was running a bar at Glastonbury festival about 10 years back Leon. A Scottish guy turned up to do the security, wearing mirrored shades. When our feller was operating 'The Cow' , which pulls a dozen pints at a time, the security guard sidled over to ask if he might have a pint. It turned out he had only got 'the gig' because he was looking for his drug-dealer that morning, and the mirrored shades were to cover up his eyes!

Definitely! And the poor wee lass only had a handful of 'likes' before - what's up with folks?!

 

[cudgee]

what's up with folks

Do you really want me to answer that.

 

[Prester John]

Isn't it just?!

Slingshot target.
