I used to have lots of tubs and baskets infact i used to make them for everyone in the street. Got a bit fed up being taken for granted so i stopped doing them i also didnt have the time to maintain them. Now all i have are evergreen bushes,a rose of sharon bush that flowers beautiful yellow flowers all through the summer, lots of hydrangeas , palm trees and my most fav my monkey tail tree also known as a Araucaria araucana tree hes about 30ft tall 20 years old( i know hes male by the shape of his fruit ) Thats another job needs doing, i need to shape my bush

I too used to be a” just in case” ” it just might come in handy ” kind of person. This started when i bought a huge shed! i wont clutter the house but the sheds a different story. The plan this coming weekend is to be ruthless and sort it out! the daughters calling down for any good stuff to sell at the car boot sale. I dont buy christmas pressies i tell people not to buy for me. We all donate £10 each and give it to the MacMillan cancer support charity that way i dont get rubbish smelly stuff that i have to get rid of after christmas. Just had another thought! gawd knows whats up in the loft! sleeping bags, xmas stuff, suitcases! thats a job for another day

Hiya Moo, i remember the club you mentioned. The original name was The Top Rank it went thru many name changes over the years. Studio 54, Baileys, Romeo and juliets, Rotters . This club was built onto st johns shopping precinct. I remember the escalators that took you up into the club. My fav club was the beech comber in seel st also The continental where all the Liverpool FC footballers used to drink. Love the story by the way hahha
Every time I try to walk away, something makes me turn around and say.
I love the way George Michael didn’t try to upstage Aretha. He let her be amazing and he just complimented her! True gentleman
Hi Linda! in reply to your question,Whatever you think of it, hunting has long been part of British cultural history, and that is reflected in a host of pub names. The Greyhound refers to Henry VIII’s favourite breed of hunting dog, while The Bird in Hand is a reference to falconry. Other common hunting-inspired pub names include Fox & Hounds, Dog & Duck and Hare & Hounds. Now I just need to hunt down someone to buy me a pint:) The most popular pub name is ” The Red Lion” there are at least 600 around the country. The naming of pubs came from the Roman times when the romans would hang vine leaves outside as a trading sign to let passers by know they had wine to sell. During the reign of King Richard II, an Act was passed which made it compulsory for pubs and inns to have a sign in order to identify them as official watering holes. We had pubs with sporting names such as the Greyhound, The cricketers Arms and The Anglers rest. We also had pubs with trade names for eg The golden fleece ( for the wool traders) Carpenters arms, Masons and Blacksmiths. We had the travel pubs with names like The coach and horses, Railway or station inn, The horse and groom. Hope this information has helped you understand how we got our pub names haha. All this typing has made me thirsty off for a cold one xx

Milky, that would be st Andrews church in Rodney street and the grave you mention would it be the large pyramid gravestone where the guy inside is sitting with a winning deck of cards in his hand? His name was William Mackenzie
