Mundane News (Part 1)

I'm just sampling a Cabernet Sauvignon, six bottles of which my son dropped off for me this morning (very nice of him)
An interesting vintage ....2013.
I have an Ena Sharples face on just now. Coincidence?

Fruit is so boring, apples are sharp and tasteless, oranges take so long to peel that I lose interest, nothing excites my tastebuds.

Nooooooooooooooooo !

Apples is loverly. Core them, stuff them with raisins or currants and a couple of cloves and bake them in a very small amount of water and scoff with cream and or custard. They ain't sharp then.
Delish !

Ena Sharples, now there's a bolt from the black and white!

I was just thinking that many of the younger CycleChatters will not have a clue who Ena Sharples was, or Minnie Caldwell, or the Walkers, or Leonard Swindley, or ...

(I never even watched Coronation Street, but my parents always had it on when I was a child.)

My no trick or treat notice on the door has worked a treat, we've not been disturbed all night.

Same here, my Mum was a fan right from the start.

Funny enough we never had a telly when Ena Sharples was on. I can still recall what her face was like though.

Oh yes! For the younger members, we're on about the dourest, sourest matriarch ever to darken our black and white sets, and I have no memory of her ever taking her hairnet off. I remember wondering why on earth anybody would want to watch any programme with her in. She made Eastenders look like romantic comedy.

The locals seem to have adopted the 'knock to trick or treat only if you see a pumpkin in the window' convention. It's the first time in many years that I haven't been hassled

We started to use the notice after I said no to trick or treat shut the door and the woman with the child tried to kick my door down whilst shouting abuse that would have made a sailor blush.

I still miss Minnie Caldwell and Bobby.
