Thankfully, they just made a heck of a mess.

We had seven house broken into, just before Christmas and now this.

Virtually unheard of, burglary, around here.

Cattle rustling or pig napping :lol: :lol:

That’s an awful thing to happen Jan. Is there a pattern of things being taken or all just random?

An on line site is informing me their records indicate that I could be owed £4,201.12 due to the diesel scandal.

This is remarkable, not least because I have never owned a diesel.

Sorry Jo, only just seen this.

We have been here for just over eight years and apart from one generator nicked (the owner owed money to some-one) we have never had anything like this here.

We're a farming community, we're all classed a "neighbours", as we live in the same district.

It's very, very rare.

The tom tom drums have been going and a silver truck has been noticed, driving around, that no-one knows who it belongs to. So every-one is very aware and on high alert.

It's like being in the 1950's English countryside, every one knows what you're doing, before you actually do it :lol:

More random still.
I just received a phone call from Islington council. As is Islington, London.
Apparently last month they offered me the chance to have a parking bay on mumble mumble road on the rhubarb rhubarb estate.
Very nice of them for sure but I'm unlikely to take their offer up, living as I do in Yorkshire.

You should have taken the offer up and then sub-let it for £000s to someone working in The City or Parliament. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's what a real Yorkie would have done. ;)

We've lost all our English tv programmes :shock: .

Something to do with the satellite thingy or maybe they've just moved it. No idea.

No great loss :lol:
