Fenton- the place for unbleached tripe




Fenton is the place for unbleached tripe so says a shopper waxing about the best tripe shop in Texas sorry I mean Fenton

Woman used to run off from blind dates if they were not acceptable. She used to wait outside a cinema in Manchester- this was in the 60s and leg if the blind date was not decent enough. I suggest that the 39 Steps might be a good film to run away to.

Woman breaks eggs and then proceeds a number of egg related puns such as eggstragant and eggsteme and when he card does not work I say that the Science is ineggxact.

John waxes lyrically about the Communist Run municipality of Bologna. Lots of art galleries, public ways and open spaces. Sounded good.

Woman still recalls my experience on Mastermind which is 3 years ago. Her late husband was proud that a Leekite had done so well.

Spoken warmly about Southwold and I encourages the woman to visit there if her husband likes Adnams beer.

Woman buys large salmon and I ask if she has a Bear as a pet. I don’t think she hears me

Community Arts development worker or was one. There are few jobs in that area although there are few jobs locally period

Talk to Richard about the nonsense I had heard about the Richard III Society and the “ White Boar” emblem being banned because Muslims in Leicester would be upset. It seems be the case. I am told that they can be somewhat zealous in their passion. I still think Dicky Plantagenet should be buried with Catholic Rites and not some multi cultural business. The irony of him being buried by a church, to use Brendan Behan’s phrase, founded on the bollox of the son of the man who beat him at Bosworth Field is rich.

Polish woman is slow in paying and the next woman complains that Poles are too laid back. I have never heard that before.


A football conversation following England’s World Cup entry success. The Everton player Barclay ought to be included.

" How much"!!! Yorkshiremen in a London pub


I found an old tenner in the till. It had a picture of Charley Dickens on it. Surprised that it had lasted for so long without being detected.

Woman just got back from Disneyland  and was telling me how expensive it is. I know we were there last year. I still have the shakes when I think of some of the rides I went on with Henry.

Man wearing a tee shirt with a devil printed on it. It would have annoyed the evangelical bag packers of a few weeks ago. I tell him on the Methyr Tydfil riot of 1981 when one of the accused asked a friend to be a character reference. The man arrived in court with a tee shirt which had an explicit reference to a sexual act. The brief told the defendant. "I'm afraid your friend has done for you".

Couple say how much they like Southwold and I have to agree and the presence of the Adnams brewery is a definite plus. We shared fond memories of the "Lord Nelson" right by the brewery.

Man says "How much" when I tell him how much is shopping costs. It reminded me of the joke about how you can tell Yorkshiremen in a London pub
