Captain Colonial Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 ...to Nick Algar, Mark Twyford, Jeff Stevens, Adam Reeves, Steve Wild, Simon Turtle, and the 15 AOs whose terrific contributions helped produce an absolutely cracking Autumn 2012 issue of Westfield World! And also to Peter Osbourne for putting it all together for us to enjoy - great effort as always! Soon to be on a doorstep near you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 "Soon to be on a doorstep near you" Is it being delivered to my neighbour then. He lives about 1 kilometre from here and although we've lived here nearly 7 years I've yet to meet him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop along and see him in your newly commissioned catering van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I know, but he could have popped in here just as easily. When we moved into a tiny village in the Peak District we thought they were all a bit stand-offish but it turned out they were shy. Once the ice was broken we all got on really well. I suspect it's the same around here but with a language barrier it'll take longer, a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 English farmers are bad enough, French farmers are a breed unto themselves. At least over here, they don't complain they don't make any money while driving around in a new Ranger Rover. A neighbour in the UK explained that his accountant said he had to buy a new Ranger Rover every year. He further explained it didn't mean he was rich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 There's one ex-pat who's been here so long his grandchildren have only been to French schools and they've now left school and are working. He refuses to learn French, says he can make do with sign language and only shops in super markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
