Hi KEITH,
I saw Tregenna on TV
It was a murder case where a man stabbed and then strangle his wife. His young son was watching from the stairs.
He came from the next village named FOCHIRW you had to be careful how you say that.
Cheers
Brian.
John, A Pom beat the scramble to get here, A pom was the painter, the poms won the bid. The winging bunch who lost it should shut up!

The UK and Australia have been at war for years. It's called the Ashes Series.

Haines Tre-ships: Armed with finance provided by Bolitho’s bank (the forerunner of Barclays) the youngest Edward visited the shipyard of John Readhead & Co at South Shields where Hain placed the first of many orders for the company. Readhead’s delivered the first steamer named Trewidden in honour of the Bolitho estate outside Penzance. The relationship between Hain and Readhead ultimately produced a total of 87 ships for the company, all with the prefix ‘Tre’ a Cornish word for ‘farmstead’. http://www.poheritage.com/our-histor...amship-company
our two countries at war that would be something,firstly who would the yanks help?(not for free that's for sure),would we have civil war in both nations first owing to the fact we have large portions of each others xpats,and which paddock would be our battleground?then when it was all over,we really would belong to the u.s of a.think I will crack a tinny or three to drown the image.god for a giggle if nothing else.
Ref. the recent posts on kangaroos, we could dress them up in uniform and they would be the first line of defence. Second row camels, and third emus. They would get that annoyed especially if any greens there in their forces and would be afraid to shoot, throw a few boomerangs at them and they would have to give up and go home, on their chartered vessels sailing under the Panamanian flag. Cheers John Sabourn
Then if they had ant sence they would put the Greens at the front, save us all a lot of problems.Quote:
