So could I, the wife says...

Well........... you can guess what she says :lol:  :lol:

If you get your finger out & buy that big house at Burley-in-Wharfedale I(erm.. I mean we.. :wink: ) would have plenty of space for it :wink:

It was only last Thursday she called me a 'sad sod' whilst we were watching a DVD I'd ordered;
'Fred Dibnah  Remembered'
It was all unreleased footage from the 90's with a commentary by himself, & then the 2nd half was of his funeral procession through Bolton.
A very sombre affair.

It was 'lump in the throat' time for the father-in-law' & me when (as they lowered the coffin) the engines in attendance gave a minute long simultaneous whistle.

What a way to go, beats a stretched Ford Scorpio
