    Knick-Knack

    My young grand-daughter asked me " Grandad, when the old man played knick-knack on my thumb" (a reference to a line in the nursery song) "what was he doing"? I have absolutely no idea what is meant by that and I ask anyone on the website for an answer, as she is visiting me this coming Sunday

    Fleetwood, Preston and West Riding Junction Railway.

    I have come across an article in some very old literature that came as part of a package in a rail lot that I bid for and won about fifty years ago. The aspiration seemed to be connecting the Fleetwood area to West Yorkshire to serve both Bradford and Leeds and the Preston and Longridge Railway...

    This morning, whilst I was awaiting treatment at the MRI (Manchester Royal Infirmary), a middle-aged lady was talking to two other women about Wythenshawe Bus Station being completely closed and quite a number of police and TfGM (Transport for Greater Manchester) officials were on site. From...

    502...Bad Gateway

    When I tried to log on into this website such a screen message appeared. This is the first time that I can remember seeing such a message. However, a few hours later, all worked normally. What does that message mean?

    Annoying "Music on hold" songs.

    In the last few weeks, when "on hold", twice I have heard a young female voice singing something sounding like "Aye-Oo-Say-Deh, Aye-Oo-Say-Deh" and also "Come again". I was forced to listen to it, being "on hold" for about five minutes both times. Does anyone recognise this song and the name of...

    A speculative query on past days when paper/card tickets were matters of challenge compared with systems these days.

    Now that technology has overtaken the Edmondson system, is it the case that much more ticket queries are now prevalent?

    Royal Mail letter post/Christmas card deliveries in December 2023.

    Mindful of the fiasco in December 2022, when Royal Mail managers were accused of telling sorting office staff to prioritise parcel deliveries and many Christmas cards and letters were being put aside on a daily basis and not being delivered until January 2023, I wonder if the same scenario...

    Fireworks

    Can someone with the relevant knowledge say what the maximum decibal volume allowable is when set off close to domestic properties and is there any penalty for exceeding that limit.

    Noisy bathroom sink hot tap.

    The tap in question was one that was installed three years ago when this house was built on a six property five-bedroom development site and this week, all strange unmusical wailings have begun to make their presence felt. Have any website members had a similar problem with relatively new taps?

    Burning Man festival

    Just seen a reference to this American festival and for some reason, my mind brought back memories of the final scene of the film "The Wicker Man". Does anyone know the history of the naming of that festival in America?

    Wasps and white UPVC roofline fascia boards.

    August has arrived and it must be wasp nest-building season as quite a number of properties local to me have wasps flying in and out under the fascia boards. Have any other website members had this problem recently?
