Nero, I watched on woman trying to get into a space for 5 full minutes, reversing then going forward etc. There were about 20 empty spaces very close by. I just laughed and shook my head when she got out of the car and looked at me.

I hate parking next to anyone . . they don't give a toss if they bang your car with their doors . . . if the park is empty I park in the middle of it . . . . yeah, sure as there's shit in a goat there's a car either side when I return while the park's still empty . . . why me, why me . . . am I alone in situations like this ?

The Jeep's different . . . nobody parks next to that . . . it's so big, plus it's an old motor . . . I can read their tiny minds . . " oooer, shan't park next to that pile of junk, the owner doesn't give a toss.

I remember when I returned home to my village ...........

That brings back memories, at the end of 1984 I had just met Jenny and we went to see my mum in Bedfordshire. I took Jen to my old `local` and a lady asked if I was new to the village. I just smiled and said "well I don`t live here now but do you remember where the old chip shop used to be?"

Some other old lad overheard and cried out "bloody hell that`s going back a bit" My case proven.

And I know the Calder area a bit-my ex partner lives in Mirfield. The last time we went to see her and Jonathan (a while back now) we went to the mining museum and some doylem suggested that as I was a Southerner it would give my some idea.

I just had to let him know that during the strike I had a miner`s wife and a copper`s wife in the same team I managed

Some revisionists, such as influential Oxford historian K.B. McFarlane, suggest that the conflicts during this period have been radically overstated, and that there were, in fact, no Wars of the Roses at all
