So, Bri. I'm not permitted to enter the Hidey Hole eh? I guess I shall have to suffer it out in the pub with all them women. Life's Hard:P Chocks

Looks like the "Hidey Hole" is still free:D

Loads on here about the Onion Fair Roverman. Just do a search and you'll find it.. I can remember boating on the Resa' but I don't ever remember seeing it frozen over. Chocks.

Cheers Richard. Yea, I seem to remember a lot of side shows there too. Chocks

Morning Frothy. Sadly I can't play youtube on this antiquated computer of mine but thanks anyway. Chocks

I remember "Fireball XL5" very well and the sad part about it was I could even understand what Zunie was saying. And Auntie Jean Morton with Tinga & Tucker..... Classics! I also loved watching "Supercar" around the same time but for some reason very few people seem to remember that series...

Perhaps we should have kept the wooden roads JohnO Len, You prove the point. Replace the roads with railway sleepers. Mind you, I think the Napolionic soldier would have sruggled to carry a sleeper in his pack. It was probably heavier than the 12lb field gun.:D

Thank's for the pic's Dave.:) I'm obviously aware of the use of timber in road building throughout history but it's use in towns in the form I mentioned is a new one to me. I just amazed at it's longevity. If you look back the success of the old timber walkways and roads was not so great...
