Botchergate perhaps?  Well at least they've stopped locking the traffic barriers on Fri & Sat nights. (accident prevention for those who don't know), kept the peecat death rate down.

Don't come from Carlisle myself but daughter lives there, she was always such a good girl too!

Always locked mate, don't know where you got that from:rolleyes:

My mistake KB should have said locked closed to stop the traffic, I know they are always locked open. Been going across to see daughter and now grand daughter for around ten years now never seen them closed.

In West Yorkshire, its breakfast, dinner, tea and if you're lucky to get it, supper before bed.
My old Dad called lunch someting you had at mid morning work break.

My old Springer gets breakfast and tea (plus whatever she can scrounge in between)

When I started school, way back in the second world war, in Berkshire we used to take a lunch packet with us to be eaten at 10am along with our gill of frozen milk.  (Dumped outside at about 4 in the morning - straight from the local farm).

The order was breakfast, lunch (as described above), dinner and tea.   Supper rarely came around in those days.   Maybe a bit of bread and dripping. 

Happy days apart from the odd doodlebug and V2 alerts.

They close at weekends on the evening so that the Botchergate drunks don't get run over:)

Fair enough KB,  :good: I've usually left for home before weekend evenings. However on the odd occasion we've gone to Woodies for brekky there could be a case for doing the same in the morning. 07:00  they are there on pints and whiskey. Almost puts me off brekky :lol:

Fair point, JRM and NF should form another party and push for change.

Now that would be something, they would get my vote, there’s been talk of Mogg being promoted to the front benches and even the odd rumour of him being the next leader of the conservatives, very clever man and orator, not everyone’s cup of tea but I like him.
