A lot of the words we consider to be Americanisms turn out simply to be old fashioned and no longer used over here. English in Britain has evolved differently since the early settlers took the language over the Atlantic

A few posts back you wrote of Buxton being the highest venue for a market....and now i recall having a pint during a journey at the highest pub - Tan Hill. On a lonely site high in the Yorkshire Dales stands the Tan Hill Inn, a unique and historic place dating back to the 17th century.
Fingers crossed on your trip.
....and on Banbury - been there many many times, staying at the Banbury Inn, up the road from High Street near the old church. Took the train in to Oxford many times, as well as Bath. Cute little village.
Oh yes. We know the Tan Hill Inn well. It was a regular venue for university parties. In fact JoesDad and I got together at an ice cold college valentine’s disco up there
We go bird watching up there too. It’s a good place to warm up and dry out
And, we’re in the weather record books.....
- An unprecedented series of drenching rain storms, culminating in this weekend’s soaking, has catapulted 2018 to the wettest year on record in Washington. This year’s rainfall tally shoves aside the previous top mark which stood for nearly 130 years.
- The steady rain Friday night into Saturday morning elevated 2018’s total past the previous record of 61.33 inches set in 1889. The National Weather Service announced the record was surpassed at 6:26 a.m. Saturday. An additional inch or so of rain could fall through Sunday, pushing 2018 further ahead of historically wet years of the past. Weather records in Washington date back to 1871.

I’m so over this rain. I had all these big ideas on things I wanted to get done. I’m currently still in bed sipping coffee looking outside in defeat.
Thank you very much Yvonne. This evening I`ve planned to sing "Holy night" for @JoesMum ( because it was her wish ) and all my CDR roomies too.
That is annoying !
I listened to White Christmas and Drummer boy. I'll have to go find the third one.One evening I was posting 3. I think you missed 3.
Did anyone else see what appears to be a new tab on the Forum? Or, has it been there and ive never noticed?
Yep. I wonder what type of algorythm they used to determine what we like.
Yes, that's the one I missed. Thanks for making it easier for me to find it. Very nice. I love your songs.
I noticed it yesterday. Can't for the life of me figure out why I would need it though.
Here’s the link to that rain article. 29 Saturdays of rain this year...

The guy I have come trim trees for me called me yesterday and said if I wanted some firewood he has some he'd like to get rid of. So this a.m., after I feed, clean up and water, I'm going to make a special trip into town and get some firewood! Yea!
Yeah....me neither.
Well, they have been doing upgrades on the forum. Maybe it is new!
It’s probably standard with the newer version of the forum software that Josh updated to
