Patience, patience....

Where is Harrogate?

Arragate?
Up Norffe somewhere.

Ahh, I spot a bit of thread drift... that could be good... maybe.

I'm sending this from the Robin Hood pub in Stourbridge (near Peaky Blinders country.)

Not a bad pub. No bouncers observable.

(The heads on spikes outside the door might have something to do with that :eek: )

It's a Spa Town North of Leeds not far from Mother shiptons well at Knaresborough. They say that if you enter Harrogate and seem to look like you are short of money or look in anyway dodgy, you will be escorted to the boundaries and told to go elsewhere. :jester:

I used to use the Old Bell many moons ago....understand this has been refurbished.

I have passed quickly through it many times and never been ejected, their standards can't be that high.

Geoff, is this cause and effect?

Hardly.....been 10 years since last visit..used to booze with some senior police officers,meant that no problem anyone getting stopped!

Just a thought - When I said 'UP Norffe' that presupposes an up and a down. Being as the earth is flat then it must therefore be hanging in the vertical rather than horizontal. Otherwise it would be 'along' rather than 'up', or 'down'.
Obviously we must make an exception for the Antipodeans - They really are down unless you live there then we are down relatively, even though we are up.

I thought the antipodeans lived underneath the Earth. Otherwise, if you start digging a hole, they won't be there to greet you when you come out on the other side. No?

Yes, but they are down when North is not up but along. Up must be this side and down is that side unless you live in Australia then we are down in relation them but still up, as in on top.
If you live in New Zealand it doesn't seem to matter either way.

So where does that locate our Sooth Efrikan friends? Equably midway along the Equator? (Wherever that is.)

But they are not proper antipodeans - Part of Africa is on this side of the world, so they can't be on the other side.

Same-same our friends in Chile.
Argentina doesn't count - they can just go away and suit themselves, which they probably will.

You folks think too big. Anything you can't see doesn't really exist till you get there

I was going to polish my specs, but I won't now thanks to FJ confirming that if I can't see it, it isn't there. :supercool:

That explains nicely why I didn't know the whereabouts of Harrogate; now I'm wondering about Stourbridge…….
Hope Bob isn't about to fall off the edge.

That must be Big Ben then Geof. Actually I only went to Harrogate once....it was closed!!


JJ.

The Old Bell still going strong. They were even graced by a visit from ex President Bill Clinton a few years back, his secret service escort advised him not to try a mix of ultra strong cider and Guiness. I think the photograph of his visit is still there. They sell a good selection of Belgian beers. Cheers. Roger

Belgian beers, like being kissed by an express train. Let's see, I have a couple of bottles left.

Well! That was an interesting way to spend 5 minutes whilst I waited for my nail polish to dry. I shall ponder whether or not I am up, down or sideways in relationship to the rest of the world. What I do know is it is damn hot and going to get hotter over the next few days, up to 40 deg. C. Does anyone in he southern part of this planet have a room to spare.

I wonder if this will be the absolute final post on this thread? I hope not.

I thought I had that last post, then someone filled the bugle with nailpolish.

♫♪♫♪♫ … I'm creeping this post in hoping nobody will notice. I could be whistling in the dark though … ♪♫

......and of course when you click to enter the thread there is the message 'last post'.........this thread will likely never end now!
