@fugitiveink I've just moved to Cockley Cley and learned that the locals pronounce it "Cli" but others use "Clay". Arguably both pronunciations seem to have merit.

Thank you! And you're right about Cley, which leads many unwary visitors astray (or should that be "a-straɪ" ???)

15 years ago today I was on the telly, interviewed for the Politics Show following sky high fuel prices. Deja vu all over again!

What's going on with all the 💩 adverts? I go to block them, find I've already blocked them, so I mute them and...still they come back like a jobby you can't flush. Musk must be needing money again.

Today's "you couldn't make it up". Had to request a new password for BT mail as I couldn't access my account. They sent me a 4 digit PIN, as part of the process, to, you've guessed it, my email account that I couldn't access!

If you've never seen Second Hand Lions, I highly suggest you fix this transgression. Such a fabulous movie. If you're even half human it'll get your allergies going. RIP Robert Duval.

Remembering the 168 Durham miners, aged from 13 to 66, who were killed in the West Stanley Disaster #OnThisDay in 1909. Pictured are the people of Stanley gathered at the pit head awaiting news following an explosion, and then burying their loved ones.
