We were over in Spalding at the weekend with family, picked up a couple lbs of sausage, can't get real Lincs sausage even just over the border in Norfolk. Butchers had ran out of Haslet though, have to wait til next visit, it was New Years Eve and butchers stocks were sold out and were closing by 2 p.m. on Friday (they had low inventory because of the long 4-day weekend)

...and then you will be back in Lincs enjoying sage sausage (can't rem if you are vegetarian).

Yes - I saw it on the BBC website at lunchtime today. Very sad. A great actor. I loved the movies "In the Name of the Father" and "Brassed Off". I didn't realize that he came from Warrington. (I used to live there).

Hello Fulwood, You posted about Cars a few pages back - saying you cannot stand a manual - neither can I, so will be sourcing an automatic, as soon as we are back. Go to the dealership of your choice, and tell them the model you want, and the colour, and price range - and then tell them to source one for you. - New or in our case, used - make sure it has a warranty, an MOT, and then they will tax it for you, while you arrange insurance. if you are over 50, then Saga may offer the best Insurance deal. dontheturner.

Poor bloke died of cancer. He had smoked since he was 14 years old. I don't know if there was a connection?
