Last night my mother gave me some old photographs and this one has us all puzzled. All we know about it is that the lady marching front right is my Great Grandmother. She is carrying the Standard of the Royal British Legion. We don't know the date but it is obviously between the wars. The...

It wasn't until I joined the forces that I realised just how good school dinners were (Or maybe just how bad the forces grub was)

Excellent Painting Cookie. My Mom would love that. Her favorite singer too. I bet you'll have "No Regrets" in painting that one will you

I agree with you Bernie but I should think that the council have the legal means to delay the Listing. I also believe that they have a legal obligation to supply the basic maintenence of all listed buildings within their area. That's my understanding anyway, but as I said, "Call me synical". I...

Interesting Stitcher.. More please!

Go for it Stitcher. These sort of things always interest me.

Love It, Love It, Love It, Not tried the dripping and Marmite thing but I will this weekend. I Love Marmite and Peanut Butter Toasties. I also like to spread Marmite on my roast potatoe's about 5 min's before they finish cooking. It gives them a real beefy taste. I also like Bovril but only as...

Many Thank's Jennyann. Strange to think that so few still exist.

Can anyone tell me, what this medal was awarded for and who would have recieved it? Does anyone know how many were produced and awarded? I've never seen one and if they were produced in large amounts I feel I would have seen one somewhere before.
