Glad you enjoyed your lunch out :-D :-D

Jem..my brother is terrified of horses, when we were kids we used to play in the dried up moat around the castle, they used to keep horses in there, my brother was feeding one and another came from behind and bit a chunk out of his backside :-0 :-0 :-0

I don't think he would have managed it, if he had been sober, Lyn!:-D :-D :-D

Hya Jem :-D :-D <3 <3

I wonder if that customer was drunk, by any chance :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

Hiya Joy <3

Hiya Lyn <3

:-D :-D :-D :-D@ Ann!

Parts of our town have loose horses that have been left to wander.

My mother had a pub years ago, and late one night, after the pub had shut, there was a knock at the door, and there was one of her customers, bareback riding a stray horse, with a roadworks beacon on his head! :-D :-D :-D :-D



Joy and Lyn, you both had lovely meals today :-) :-) :-)

Afternoon All :-D :-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3 <3

Joy, I've been out for lunch too :-D

Salmon and crayfish bake, chips and peas. That was quite enough for me, then J ordered a chocolate cookies and cream sundae with 2 spoons :-0

Well, I couldn't let him struggle with that on his own ;-) ;-)

Ooooo ginger pud and custard..we used to have that in school :-D :-D :-D

Hi Joy <3 <3 :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

We bought daughter a horse when she was 12 and we had a piece of land up from the house where we used to keep it in the summer, the pub was across the road..and OH decided on vacating the pub one evening to go and chat to the horse ...it head butted him :-D :-D :-D

Afternoon all. :-)

Have you all been busy today or snoozing?

Came back from coffee and went straight out for lunch. Delicious too.

GP, don't read this but I had roast beef with all the trimmings followed by ginger sponge and custard. I feel like a stuffed pig - but, girls, you'd be proud of me as I cleaned my plate. :-D

Yes I think it was cheese and onion that came out first. Mind, I rather liked the little bags of salt you sprinkled on them. :-D

I used to save my dinner money for a horse riding lesson on a Saturday! Until the novelty wore off.

The first time I had a lesson, I was on a leading rein from the riding instuctor.
We went on our ride, through countryside. We rode through a field and in the next field there was a stallion that was going nuts to get at the mares. It leapt the hedge and started trying to get at our horses.

The driving instructor told me to get off quickly as my horse started bucking and rearing, but my foot got caught in the stirrup. The girl instructor was also now panicking a bit but I managed to get off. We got the horses out of a gate quickly, but my mare was so nervy by now that she walked on my foot!

OOOOOOO! :-( :-( :-( :-(

You never want a horse standing on your foot, believe me! :-0 :-D :-D :-D :-D

Flying sherbert saucers that disintegrated in your mouth :-D :-D

Not forgetting when Smiths brought out their flavoured crisps....think it was salt n vinegar or cheese n onion....the queue for the tucky was down the road.

We used to keep our 5 bob dinner money...and every day we would have a cream bun, packet of crisps and a choc bar :-0 :-0 :-0

If my mum found out she would have gone mad :-D :-D

and all those delicious sweets you could buy by the quarter from those big jars on the shelf

Pineapple Chunks, Sherbet Bonbons, Chocolate Chewing Nuts, Sherbet Pips, Assorted Boiled Sweets, Lemon Sherbets ooooo!

No wonder I have had trouble with my teeth :-0 :-0 :-D :-D

Oh yes Jem, our little tuck shop used to sell the multi coloured sherbert in the large sweetie jars...4oz used to last for ages and all your fingers would be stained from dipping them in the bag :-D :-D :-D
