McRainy Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Oh god, it’s Wirksworth Carnival. Smartly dressed people with well spoken children are filing expectantly past my window. A saxophonist is warming up in the market place and bunting is flapping merrily. Bank holidays, like bank anything else, only exist to make life less bearable.

Anyway, that lot must have facked orf by the evening, as the pavements were full of yawping blokes with tats and trackies by half nine. I nearly got pissed on going up crown yard, and the comment was, sorry duck, that were a close ‘un, not, watch where you’re going, you slaaag!

Even as Londoners venture further and further up the M1 looking for cheaper housing, I hear some have been seen as far up as Luton. They'll still consider anyone not born south of Watford a northener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in my childhood, villages like the one I come from in the Ouse valley were becoming commuter dormitories, with schools and shops closing and house prices rocketing. The south east is ruined by London. I came to Derbyshire as a student when I left home and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRainy Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Been for a nice evening walk as far as Hopton, and got back to the pub to discover my legs are covered in bites. Friend I was with didn’t get any at all, which pisses me off. If it’s mozzies I can do the skin so soft thing to fend them off, but I suspect I’ve been got by the little whatevers that leap out of the grass to attack your thighs. Damn it!

Parsnip Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I walked to the pub with both kids for a lovely Sunday dinner. Ended up walking back carrying both kids and both kids' scooters. Karma innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, with two scooters, there must be some arrangement whereby you can fasten them together and lash any recalcitrant kids on board, thereby wheeling rather than carrying...
