No Bob it wasn't that one but they did have the same sauce boats for the curry sauce. She said to just get one and she'd have a dip in mine while she had tartare herself. My reply,to the shock of the waitress,was "F.ck off and get yer own I'm not sharing!" She did,and finished most of hers as I knew she would,despite saying she only wanted a taste! Once bitten.......been there too many times before! Pissing down this morning and still waiting for her to drag her idle arse out of bed!

Years agu Scarboro wuz famous fer its WW11 sea battle in Peashome Park. Brilliant fer kids ta wetch, realistic battle ships on the pond and wire mounted aircraft flying across bombin em. Pyrotechnics in the pond med it a great spectacle. Not sure if they still do it tho?

Dave I think it was Ron Goodman who used to take celebrities back to their childhood holidays. He took somebody to the old model sea battle at Scarborough. It must have been a couple of year since I saw it so it's still there mate!

Seen the old steam trains when we walked the Coast to Coast, and that place where they filmed Heartbeat. Bet those old villagers were pleased to see the back of those TV crews!

I was sad to see ads everywhere for various Yorkshire steam fairs next month as I love the old machines and the smell of them. She just told me to grow up! Waiting on the dock at Stranraer for the ferry which is unloading at the mo and then homeward bound after a great 10 days or so away,and mightily glad the old van has made it. Got 3 huge haggis's (or is that Haggi in the plural?)in the back ready for the freezer when we arrive. Big enough for about 5 people I reckon but the normal shop I got the smaller ones from has shut so needs must!

Of course! It'll be next week before I can sample one as I've got to dash off to London tomorrow for a piss up with the doctor stepson in the guise of hiring suits for his impending wedding.

Forgot to mention I called into the Dumfries Aviation Museum with it's Airborne Forces display,after many years of passing it by. Very interesting place maintained by volunteers,who refused to let me leave before signing the Dakota door leaning on the wall alongside hundreds of other signatures,some of whom I knew. Well worth a visit,especially in august when they have a ABF day!

Here's the evidence of Pat's visit. he couldn't miss the opportunity of a self inflicted punishment session.
