Al, I have no idea what you are talking about........

BTW I can also report MSA efficiency at getting licence back to me. They even emailed updates to the new address I gave them on application form.

Well done, guys and gals!

Why? Does it vibrate as well?

SAMD · 12 Dec 2011, 17:14 (Ref:2998852)

consider the tone to be inappropriately lowered.

Al Weyman · 12 Dec 2011, 17:39 (Ref:2998857)

Ha ha those big old birds down the pub were never gonna win parrying words with Big Al were they! They were on a hiding for nothing as soon as they opened their gobs. BTW Mike did you receive your stickers in the end?

Al Weyman · 12 Dec 2011, 18:17 (Ref:2998868)

Of course I can no probs. I have another set the same if you want them as the first batch I sent out somehow found there way back here, they are no use to me so you may as well have them.

As I understand it that is the proof that light travels at a greater speed than sound. That is why some women appear bright until you hear them speak.

Thats is a well proven scientific fact . . . advertised on main TV channels here most evenings

Actually Joe British TV is generally to a very high standard. I installed UK TV services over here in order to help me improve my "modern" English - your language has moved on quite a bit since my school days.

I even watch Coronation Street! BUT can somebody help me? I drink Tetley tea most afternoons (in preference to coffee) but I do not understand what is the CHIPPY TEA that they keep asking each other if they want in the late afternoon?

Al Weyman · 13 Dec 2011, 17:18 (Ref:2999255)

Northern pronouceation of Cuppa Tea??? They dont brew tea up there either, they mash it!

I've not watched Coronation St for years but the Chippy tea you refer to might mean an evening meal of chips.
Different meals are called different things in different parts of England
Up north (where I come from anyway) Tea is the meal you have in the evening and dinner is the meal you have around noon.
Down south lunch is the meal you have around noon and dinner is the meal you have in the evening.

Up north tea is sometimes referred to as supper which is normally a late evening snack down south.

Down south tea is a drink we have with scones and jam in the afternoon.

In America tea is something they freeze and then drink cold at any time but Americans are heathens so what more can you expect from them.
Hope this helps although I think we've had this discussion before IIRC.

BTW A chippy is a fish and chip shop.

Tim - you could host a series on BBC2....... but I didn't know you were from 'ooop north'

terence · 13 Dec 2011, 17:59 (Ref:2999272)

As it's 'natter'. Can anyone recommend some one to collect a car from Romney Marsh and deliver it to Cambridge?

**Tim Falce** · 13 Dec 2011, 18:01 (Ref:2999274)

Terry, wont it be a bit rusty and muddy after being in Romney marsh?

It's not exactly something I boast about John.

zefarelly · 13 Dec 2011, 18:19 (Ref:2999280)

I think Compte, Chippys tea is similar to brikkies tea, identical in appearance to 'rusty bog water'

Daan saaff we keep said brikkies tea as well as Earl grey*, ceylon and lapsang+ ( there's always one)

For Iain, thats * flowery tea and + smokey bacon tea

delta · 13 Dec 2011, 18:26 (Ref:2999284)

Isn't dear old Bill Richards based in New Romney? I think he posts here sometimes as mad dog 1. If he couldn't do the job himself, he probably knows a man who can....

delta · 13 Dec 2011, 18:59 (Ref:2999297)

Good old Rodney,much missed,what a great footballer.

How big is it, the car that is, not Romney marsh?

Al Weyman · 13 Dec 2011, 19:59 (Ref:2999334)

Joss Ronchettis company will move it for you Terry I have heard his prices are very reasonable.

Yes of course Tim is correct a Chippy Tea would be a take away from a Fish & Chip shop.

john ruston · 13 Dec 2011, 22:11 (Ref:2999420)

There is a bloke at Stansted who did couple of jobs for me about 6 months ago.Very good.

Ring Maxted Page for his number in morning or get back load from CARS.

More likely these days to be a "chinese" chippy.......not many original fish and chip shops left
