Kinchbus*, sometimes disguised as Trentbarton*, only runs Nottingham to Loughborough.(* same parent company)
Oh, you mean Nottingham (or Notting-gam or Nottinum as I've also heard).

No, "my acquaintance" (when clearly referring to more than one). Possibly there is a silent apostrophe in the spelling, which could make it work, if in that era they didn't like the sound of "acquaintances" (like James' ball).

I could have said "it were always raining in Wales", but that seems like stating the obvious. I was in Leicester contemporary with Ripping Yarns, or there abouts, which is why it got riffed as a personal meme.

"These acquaintance" is a clincher. I have another idea: perhaps it is "acquaintants".

Oh FFS.
I downloaded Google's rip of an 1895 print lodged in the Bodleian in 1896.
So all the way through I've been befuddled by the reader having an affectation! Stand down.

I don't have many spanners left. They went for scrap when I moved.

Did you catch your knuckles whilst using the spanner?

I remember. You posted a picture of the theatre. Was that the one where the aforementioned Pippa Evans (and someone else) did a pick-up song of "Phantom"?

That was the previous time, a couple of years ago!

That occurred to me a short while after posting. I thought about deleting the post, but what the hell! I can't tell Bath from Bristol! Both start with B and fairly close to the M4/M5 junction.

One-legged pigeons (or one-footed?) rarely enter my thoughts, whether on a station platform in Bath or not.Only Bath once had a one-legged pigeon on its station platform thought!
This recording was on 7th May at the Colston Hall*.
* Now called Bristol Beacon by/for the wokerites, but not by me! This is a point of hilarity during the intro for Programme 4. Funnier still, the pal I was with is 15 years younger than me with a foot in the woke camp.

Fortunately the Nottinghamshire village of Colston Bassett (one of the few places permitted to call cheese Stilton) does not have a woke problem. It was not named after the wokerites target.
What's even worse. I've been to Bath University once (maybe twice) and I've never been to Bristol. I should know the difference.
