Sounds like you had a good time![]()
Wow Jack that is amazing. What a Legend!Glad you had a great time Pete![]()
I remember seeing Pele play as a kid, it was on a midweek afternoon, but virtually every school boy in Sheffield was there!
To manage it, the schools had to issue an amnesty, asking those going to the match to, at least, come to school in the morning!

When PelΓ© emptied Sheffield classrooms as Santos faced Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough
PelΓ© and Santos were meant to face Sheffield Wednesday on the evening of February 23rd 1972, but the minersβ strike meant an earlier kickoff β and emptier classrooms.www.thestar.co.uk

Pele forever remembered at Sheffield Wednesday for THAT famous photo
A SHOT IN TIME: 'One of the things you noticed about Pele,' says Colin Prophett, as if this was an everyday kind of conversation, 'was his touch. He killed it. The ball was dead.'www.dailymail.co.uk

Thanks guys! Weather has been great (hot and sunny), and the cabin even has a nice porch attached to it. Lamb has been earning its keep slicing fudge and caramel apples.

Jacob's Club!I'd forgotten how popular they were, and how heavily advertised!
I think the most popular flavour was orange, but I always liked mint in a chocolate biscuit. They were an absolute staple of cafes, shops, school canteens, etc. My grandmother bought them, but my mother was always too stingy (she would buy Arrowroot biscuits!), and from the age of about 13, I almost completely stopped eating biscuits and chocolate for many years, which is why I'd almost forgotten about them. There were many other varieties over the years, including a plain chocolate version, called 'Golf'
Hope you enjoy them Mitch

I hope everyone is having a good dayI didn't sleep well last night, so I was a bit tired this morning, but soon picked up. It's always better when the sun is out in the market, and most of the regulars passed by: Barry the Original Ted, Gravel, Slimline Scott, Harry Hotballs, Captain Birdseye, and a few others. Tool Man actually kept his shirt on, and is still, largely, avoiding cake, but he still wasn't going hungry!
He said that his 'sandwich', made from an entire loaf of bread, was the biggest he's ever made! This is a third of it
When Gravel asked what was in it, Tool Man said it was crammed with ham, he had got cheap, as it was going 'ram' ('ram' or 'rammy', meaning smelling pungent, or going off, a word brought over to Yorkshire by the Vikings)!
It's hard to believe that anyone could beat Tool Man for gluttony, but I reckon the, now, Slimline Scott could have eaten him under the table at one time. I've seen the intellectually-challenged lump eating, most frighteningly at Tool Man's wedding reception, and as long as someone else is paying, he'll keep scooping whatever is on offer, into his oversized mouth, with bulging eyes, and an over-active saliva gland. Having now become a shadow of his former self, he eats less, but has no more self-control, and as soon as he sees food, he is drawn towards it, like a zombie to human flesh, advancing to the point where he's standing on your toes, and drooling on them to boot, his eyes fixated on whatever you're eating. So, it was, when Gravel returned with several portions of mushroom and onion bhajis. While Tool Man ate 90% of them, Scott still had to elbow his way over
This conversation between Boring Ray and Scott must have been mind-numbing!At least, they're not boring anyone else

Here's Nobber Al, with his crewTom, the guy on the left, is a cycle courier, and Wolfie was one of his couriers, 20 years ago. His business is almost finished though, and he's retiring next week.
Ex Para Steve has broken his ankle, but getting around OK with one of these modern 'casts' fitted.
This is the diminutive Wee Al, who is actually a really good magicianIt's a shame that his website no longer has a single trick video

I haven't seen Grandfather Time in a while, but the sun brings people out
While snapping him, I also got a pic of Young Tool Man!
This old feller always has his basket of imitation flowers, but I've never seen him try to sell them, or give one away
