You really are getting the hang of it now, aren't you? Must be the rarefied atmosphere of the Football League which your village is about to play in?

Thick As A Brick most graduates. One I worked with had never heard of The Beatles and didn't know what incest was. A funny combination to be exposed, granted. Bloody hell, what sort of questions were you asking them? "Hi mate, you must be new here? I'm Tony. Hey, what are your thoughts on incest? Oh don't look at me like that, fancy coming round to mine and listening to the Beatles?" Are you sure it was that they'd never heard of them or were they more likely running a mile? I never talk to people in the workplace. I just selectively absorb some of the background noise.

No doubt he was inspired by Lonsdale.

Oops ! www.herefordtimes.com/news/15433584.Reward_offered_for_lost_tarantula_in_Hereford/
A REWARD is being offered for a lost tarantula.
A poster was put up in the St James area of Hereford today appealing for the safe return of "fangs".
The laminated note, pinned to a lamppost in Grove Road, is headlined "lost in this location".
And underneath a picture of a trantula, the appeal states: "This is a family pet called "fangs" that was lost and last seen in this area.
"It will seek out a warm and dry place to hide.
"Please contact if seen for a small reward - 07393992473."

Grammar suppresses creative expression. It's a form of control and the people who insist on correct spelling and punctuation are nothing more than sheeple.

It doesn't seem to be a very good business plan. You can't get many diners into a niche. Perhaps they mean niche as in appealing to a small percentage of the population. Oh...........

For some reason this has made me wonder how many pubs nowadays would be willing to fiĺl up a 5 litre (or quart if you want) bottle/tub as a take out...
...and would they really charge you £30+ for the pleasure?
Dark days. Perhaps.
Edit: to be fair, 5 litres should probably be seen as being excessive.
Maybe I should just stop worrying about where my next drink is going to come from and enjoy the walk.

CLEE HILLS Industrial footnotes in every step THE lofty village of Cleehill has all the appearance of a mining enclave in the Welsh Valleys. The settlement has grown up in the last 200 years to serve the needs of those working in the coal mines, stone quarries and related industries. Wherever we go on this month’s hilly walk, there are remains of railways, quarries and tips of spoil providing clues to help us unravel the story of an industrial past and present. Over the centuries, people settled in the ring of villages around the hill and used the open moorland as common grazing for their sheep and cattle. The Mappa Mundi in Hereford Cathedral, conceived at the beginning of the 14th Century, is testimony to its significance - Clee is the only named hill in Britain. It was probably already important at that time for coal and would have been the highest point visible north of the Cathedral Tower. In case we are in any doubt about which one it is these days, a golf ball is teed up on the summit, courtesy of the National Air Traffic Services radar network. Properly known as Titterstone Clee - at 533 metres, it’s the third highest peak in Shropshire, 3 and 6 metres lower than Stiperstones and Brown Clee respectively, but about 100 metres higher than the highest of the Malverns. On the way up to the old workings on Titterstone, we pass the imposing water filled depression next to the working quarry on Clee Hill. The old Ludlow and Clee Hill Railway was built around the flanks solely to transport minerals from the hillside quarries; just below the breath-taking viewpoint at (4) a stretch of old Narrow Gauge track, known as Titterstone Incline, climbed 600 feet in one and three-quarter miles with a climactic gradient of about 1 in 6. If the line wasn’t a big enough test for the most experienced drivers between 1864 and 1960, wet weather would often make the rails slippery - with the maximum load of 85 tons being cut in order to make the journey down the incline safe. On our return, by the austere houses at Rouse Boughton terrace, we pick up the altogether flatter bed of the Standard Gauge track which serviced the quarries, south and east of Titterstone. The stone quarried, mainly limestone, has been used principally for road-building. If carrying on down below the viewpoint and toposcope at Cleehill, there are traces of an elusive, but welcome visitor from Wales. At point 7, a dressed stone pillar marks the line of the Elan Aqueduct carrying drinking water to Birmingham. Known as the Studley Tunnel, it burrows here under the southern end of these Clee Hills; curiously, permanent concrete pillars, known as monuments, were used as sighting points to keep the pipeline straight. If you look down into the valley to the east, you will see its course through the impressive Studley Aqueduct; tell-tale spoil from the tunnel workings can be seen as a smooth green mound at the base of our hill. So, as you steal your way down through foxglove, bracken, gorse and sundew, listening to skylark, kestrel, buzzard and raven, the common also holds promise of a rare sighting of the Lesser Spotted Pipe bird. Cleehill village, Clee and Titterstone Hills and southern common. 4¼ moderate ramble, or 5 miles to Titterstone trig. point. 6¾ miles if also exploring the southern common. Mostly excellent terrain, but potentially very uneven section between points 2 and 3. Boots essential. Map: OS 203, Ludlow. The Route 1. Cleehill village. Picnic site, viewpoint and car park at Grid ref. 595573 on the A4117. With your back to the common, TR by cattle grid along near side of unfenced road. Cross at Craven Place and go left up the road/surfaced bridle path as if for Midland Quarry Products. Now follow this surface gently upwards for 1¼ miles with great views eastwards: keeping R for Random and Upper Random Farms beyond Clee Hill Quarry, until you reach the summit of Clee Hill just beyond a small lake over to the right. 2. Clee Hill 3-way path junction. Careful!! With the apex of a fence in front of you and a house up to L, TL along stony path. It immediately becomes grassy, resembles a furrowed farm track and rises gently. You should soon see Titterstone Clee “golf ball” ahead on horizon. Keep straight, due west for about 550m, maintaining a position half way between the fence (R) and cairns up to L. Head slightly L of the point where the road ahead climbs up to (what is) a car park. For the second 550m, bear a little right and cross a stretch of tussocks to the road. 3. Shropshire Way Finger Post at roadside below Titterstone Clee. TR for a quarter of a mile up to car park and viewpoint. 4. Titterstone Clee. Below are the old quarry workings and the top of Titterstone Incline. Re-trace steps to car park entrance. (Go L up to the summit, if desired, following waymarkers 2/5ths of a mile and back to this point.) Now carry on down the road past earlier point 3 for 1½ miles with great views south and west all the way down to 5. Rouse BoughtonTerrace. TL along track at Hedgehog House. Just beyond outhouse, TR over rickety stile and now follow the old railway embankment for just about one mile to weighted gate. TR along track to start point. 6. (If continuing) With your back to the road, TL through gate to Toposcope, as signed. Mark position of pipe“monument” below you, on a line just left of May Hill, and Abberley Tower. Retrace three steps. Plunge down common towards houses, on right edge. Keep going to reach Titrail, carry on down past Fern Cottage and No. 4. After 25m, go half L further down, towards distant Abberley Tower. After 80m, take second L at cross paths back up common. After another 100m, TL up through gorse and bracken. 7. Studley Tunnel Monument. (Note Aqueduct in valley further east.) Carry on up, just L of tower, fork R at col, level with house below R. Keep R at next minor fork. At a slight hump, swing further R until you reach crosspath coming up from “1 o’clock”. (Telegraph wires 140m further on.) T sharp L steadily back up below toposcope, to park.

False anyway. Surely they should've checked before publishing?
