Fed up of Woking here

I can't believe the fires we are seeing around here, an arsonist setting fire to common land and our open spaces. Making me mad and a bit fed up with human beings. Poor firemen are dashing around putting them out but it feels like only time before someone gets hurt.

Chobham is one of our favourite places to walk the dogs but it's blackened mess now

A sad fact of life Julie.

Here it is barn or straw fires, they just cannot resist them.

Lol no I'm happy as the proverbial Larry still working, I often wonder who that Larry is though

Re: Fed up of Woking here

Answer: It originates from a boxer called Larry Foley in the 1890s, before boxing was fully legalised.
He won the biggest prize of about $150,000 dollars and a newspaper article in New Zealand had the
headline “Happy As Larry” and the phrase stuck.

So now we know!
