I spoke to Mrs Morris in Tesco's the other day (Wed)... I don't know...sorry.
Re the picture and the like....told my chiropodist, Mrs Roberts, last month, that her dad's picture ((Stan ?xxxxxx, a cobbler (and later a Red X ?commandant)) was on show in Grandad's Shed. She didn't know and the next day, when I went for a coofee in the Loft, I was informed that a lady of Mrs Robert's decription had bought the picture the following day.
In Grandad's Shed, there are still a number of pictures of local folk, but it has now been extened to include local pubs ---Black Bull, Brock Ox ...etc.
Why hasn't the Loft been included in the final Best Small Restaurant nominations....disgusting!
I'm a very poor proof reader:
'don't' should read 'didn't'
'coofee' should read ' coffee'
'decription' should read 'description' and 'extened' should read 'extended'....corrected by Len
