Last one could be your cake box challenge entry........

Very nice

[Ian Hargrave]

Thanks Mike. The thing about Heljan is they're not very approachable even at Warley and it's probably too late to point out errors now. For over £!50 it will be a case of buy one or go without. Let's see what the green versions look like.

 

Try talking and acting like a character from "The Bridge".......might loosen the Nordic reserve ? P.S....requires the "carrying" of Glock 9mm in back pocket...also useful in dealing with  Warley crowd control

Negative, Caller.

 

Would Robin mind if we kept the guesses coming?

Tivvy area ?

[Worsdell forever]

Well I was under a bridge very similar to it on Sunday, it was between Kettleness and Hinderwell on the NER Saltburn and Whitby branch though, does this still count?

I had a wee in Trago once !

[B15nac]

Between bovey tracey an Lustleigh it's a 5 minute walk from where I live

 

Kind regards Neil

How much did they charge you for that?

 

Years ago in Liskeard, couple in front of me spent well over £100 in Trago and asked for carrier bags.  The cashier tried to charge them something like 5p each, which resulted in an argument net result of which was a loss of sale.  Silly Trago.

 

Nice statues though.

I was admiring all those lovely trees and completely forgot to look at the passing train. Am I too late?

[Captain Kernow]

Tivvy area ?

Negative, Caller.

Are we between Trago and Moretonhampstead?

Yes, that's right, but not quite as right as:

Between bovey tracey an Lustleigh it's a 5 minute walk from where I live

 

Kind regards Neil

Quite right, of course. It's on National Trust property (Parke).

Er, that wasn't you with the little dog we saw earlier, was it?

[colin penfold]

No, that was him you saw earlier with a human. Types well for a little dog, doesn't he.

 

Good boy Neil

Lustleigh.................. such an interesting name.

Sexeter. 

[Welchester]

A friend of mine lives in Sexeter. He formerly lived in Upper Dicker (true).

[Oldddudders]

Sherry and I were married in Cockington.

[colin penfold]

Where you forged a bond????

[M.I.B]

Can you also forge twenty pound notes - if you can I'll have two gross - I have just decided to "go DCC"..........

[gwrrob]

Sherry and I were married in Cockington.

The hidden gem of Torbay, the manor not Sherry ! There's a very nice church on that estate too.

Our latest copiers lock up when you try to copy currency... apparently .  They actually do, we've had students try it, unfortunately for them we know who they are as the server records the last known user.

 

The second gen colour copiers were pretty good (they just did what you asked), just the paper let them down, although I got a forged £20 from an insurance refund on 120gsm ordinary paper (trust absolutely no one in Midsomer Norton!).

Better than living in Pratt's Bottom I suppose?

I had my Huggymoon in Torquay and it wasn't in Farty Towels either.

Oh, I might be getting mine soon then.

Come on Rob, open the gates, just for testing purposes of course.
