Would that be deliveries of thinly sliced deep fried potatoes or perhaps very efficiently deliveries of nothing in particular or everything in general ......pedantic moi ?

Beat me to it...

Deliveries of Tyrrells crisps, naked ones!

From February 4 2002, British broadcasters will rename Finisterre FitzRoy. In memory of the founding father of the Met Office, Admiral Robert FitzRoy, who allegedly committed suicide in 1865 after forecasting the weather wrong.

In that case I’m surprised any body takes up weather forecasting as a career

Or possibly easily understood in the past tense naturally !

When you've failed to understand that there was bad weather forecast, on the way.

How would anyone know , l thought radio four began broadcasting slightly later than 1865 . Perhaps he was just depressed by the weather in GB.

BBC World Service also transmit the Shipping Forecast.

Started with being sent down the wires to ports and harbours. Where it was put on display for ships crew.

Curiously, one team is sponsored by Tyrrells, the other by KP snacks, who are the German company that owns Tyrrell. We should call it das Hundert.

Vicks Vapour Rub is effective on toenail fungus. Just rub it on your toes instead of your nose.

Menthol, eucalyptus and camphor are all good for combating fungus.

This is one of your posts that I find absolutely fascinating but haven't a clue what they mean. It's a bit like listening to the shipping forecast.

I have “ Sailing By “ , the theme music used to introduce the Shipping Forecast as my Ring Tone. Very soothing after many years of using the “ Captain Pugwash “ theme. 🏴‍☠️
