Where on earth is that?

 

[neonwilderness]

what about adding " a man with a ferret up his trousers" to that list??

A while back I ended up getting into a conversation with the guy in the petrol station about how he goes ferreting. I only went in to pay for some diesel

Oooh, and an outside privy should be there too.

There's one in my back garden, although it's just a shed now. Dunno if any of them are still "in use"

Where on earth is that?

Just outside the back door.

 

[_angel_]

What about washing strung up on a line across a narrow street of terraces?

Ooh ooh that happens down our way too

 

[farmerbarleymow]

You know your glossy premium porn more than you know your cheap cigarettes. Call yourself a Northerner?

I've heard of the cigs, and I'm pretty sure the mag is called that too, but I'm no connoisseur of soft-porn so might be wrong.

And I wouldn't call soft core premium...

Just outside the back door.

Wasn't sure if it was a shop or not! Rabbits?

Aye

The re was. a sad story of an old lady slipping in the snow and dying after using
Her outdoor loo

There was still a loo in shared house in lpool in 90s outside none of us were tempted to use it

I was in Scotland last week in a long long supermarket baccy shop queue and in the bored waiting poll I conducted in my head, I established that everyone in Scotland only smokes Mayfair. And everyone in Scotland smokes.

Mayfair cigs are awful.

You have to pay for Mayfair magazine rather than see far stronger stuff online for free! That's premium in my book.

True - only filthy rich people pay for their porn nowadays. Those two blokes must have been minted!

I'm not a fan. Rather have a rollie. Was delighted to leave a supermarket feeling healthy after looking at the contents of every one else's trolley. Felt a right lightweight with only two bottles of wine.

As we've now had a picture of a whippet (well done longdog), I think there are some holy grail pictures that everyone has to aim for:

Someone wearing clogs, preferably walking on cobbles;
A bath full of coal
A bath being ridden downhill
A man wearing a cloth cap

I challenge all of you to find these images in real life

*no cheating online now

To be fair she is my whippet.

We had one in our last house which made an excellent little shed. I know someone who still uses theres.

 

[longdog]

Oooh, and an outside privy should be there too.

Now that's an easy one.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you roadkill's outdoor privy.

Going native I see?

She looks lovely. What's her name?

I remember going in a pub in Lev a couple of years ago and a woman had a female greyhound, who was all over me. The woman explained that she reacted much better to men - possibly due to her life as a racing dog - and she was lovely. But when she stood up she seemed never to stop - surprisingly tall dogs!

 

[longdog]

And a gratuitous picture of a air-raid shelter which was almost certainly used for storing coal or housing ferrets or something very northern (in my imagination at least)...

She's called Willow but don't let her looks deceive you. She's a foul tempered little shit with a serious small dog attitude problem.

There's a greyhound and a saluki too.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Say hello to her from me, foul-tempered little shit or not - I really miss living with dogs.

Ooh, I've been in that pub on a trans-Pennine ale trail, just one of many good pubs in or near stations on the line between Manchester and Leeds!

Would there be ferrets in there?

 

[cdg]

Would there be ferrets in there?

No just rabbits for food and finances.

 

[Pickman's model]

not one i took myself, but this 1981 picture of york shows on the left hand side dreamville, which had a sort of gangster theme and did top burgers and lovely ice cream.

There's one in my back yard. I posted it a few weeks ago.

But do you use it?

I have but they don't work
