Round Yorkshire With A Knife: Dewsbury With My Pockets Hanging Out

Great stag on that one! With the pins like that, I wonder if it has been apart.

Interesting Opinel, too.

Thanks. I don't know, but if it has been apart, it was certainly put back together well, when I was oiling it, it filled up like a little swimming pool! :) The pins and bolsters are certainly battered on both sides though.

Mad from eating recycled cows, no doubt.
I got the hint about JK disease. Has it filtered down into superstition and myth?? Ouch, if so!!

I reckon this was probably just the regular kind of loopiness! Don't really hear about JK disease now, but the British meat industry continues to lurch from scandal to scandal.

What school were you at Jack, I might have played them. I was a Hymers boy from 'ull.

I was at High Storrs Paul, but we only ever played in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire. I used to play Loose-head Prop - my head's still a bit loose! :D

What a great day it must have been. Cool treasures. I especially like the clasp knife. What a find.

Thanks Mack :)
 
In a rudimentary attempt to unravel the ravings of the Ossett Chip Shop Loon, I Googled 'Wakefield' and 'eggs thrown'. I'm none the wiser, but I did come up with a couple of odd results :D

The Wakefield police log (http://wakefield.patch.com/articles/stolen-cell-phone-egg-throwing-youths-reported) tells us: "At 4:05 p.m. a caller reported some youths on Salem Street were throwing eggs at people in the park from a nearby house. An officer located them and had them clean up the mess and apologize." Not exactly Miami Vice!

In nearby Sandal, there's even stranger goings on, as reported in the Wakefield Express(http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/n...f-the-eggs-what-on-oeuf-is-going-on-1-5725390)

Mystery of the eggs – what on oeuf is going on?

Gardeners have been left baffled after eggs started appearing amongst their flowers and shrubs overnight.

The eggs, which are believed to be from hens, are all date marked – some from as early as January this year.

So far, five people living in Sandal have reported the mysterious eggs appearing in their gardens.

Annie Carey, of Woolgreaves Avenue, Sandal, said: “The are definitely hen’s eggs but they can’t have come from the wild because they are all date stamped.

“Someone said it could be a fox but I haven’t seen any foxes and I think they would just eat the eggs rather than saving them for later.

“I believe it could be a squirrel that has been burying them. Someone has suggested they could be out-of-date eggs thrown out at Asda, but that is a long way for a little squirrel to carry an egg.

“It’s not just one garden, there are five other people involved as well. It’s a total mystery and I would like to know who or what is putting them there.”

Some of the eggs have been buried under soil but others have been found lying next to plants.

Do you know how the eggs could have got into the gardens?

It sounds as if I may need to investigate Wakefield further! ;) :D
 
Nearly missed this important update!

More eggs un-oeufed as mystery becomes even harder to crack

People in Sandal are finding hen's eggs buried in their gardens. It's a total mystery.

Our readers have been trying the crack the mystery of eggs which have been appearing in gardens.

Last week, we reported how people living in Sandal had been left baffled after finding date stamped eggs among their flowers and shrubs.

People have been scrambling to our Facebook site to tell us about their discoveries.

Lucinda Powers said: “My mum had found 2 chicken eggs 2 weeks ago under her conifer tree (Lupset) and couldn’t understand how they had got there, the conifer branched were squashed down as though something had been sleeping at the bottom of it.. Strange?”

Kevin Pearson said: “I found one yesterday in my wheelbarrow which was full of compost to be used to pot up my plants!”

Sharon Smith said: “Maybe like the rest of the animal kingdom (getting confused about the time of year because of the bad weather) the poor old Easter Bunny doesn’t know what month it is?!.”

Robert Collier said: “I wonder if there’s a few stray chickens about or maybe a odd duck or 2 apart from the they must be ALIEN EGGS.”

Have you found any eggs? Tell us on Facebook.


This is even better than the Knaresborough Bed-Race Scandal!:D
