    There's a life lesson or two in there...

    Do you "do the business", pick it up out of the bowl, dry it with a bit of bog roll, then use it like a pencil?
    Or do you grab it "in transit" sort of thing?

    Same with if you post someone a turd. Do you try and plop it straight into the jiffy bag or do the "removal" method? If its going straight into a bag, do you get a friend to hold the bag? Not sure I've got friends who I consider good enough to not tulip on my hand....

    Finally, why on earth would you want to grab hold of your own turd?
    Sheesh. The things one has to do because greenlake has flounced.....

    There is a reason why "Dirty Old Town" was written in and about Salford.
    The gasworks sung about in the song were still there, until last February, near the big roundabout at the end of the M602:

    "I met my love by the gasworks wall/Dreamed a dream by the old canal." What a romantic that Ewan McColl was eh?

    Not far from there are two very famous streets:
    Coronation Street, which had Salford Lads Club on the corner, famous from the cover of The Smiths album



    Archie Street, which, although it no longer exists, was the original street that Coronation Street the soap was based on. St Clements Church in the background still exists; the photo below is from shortly before the street's demolition in 1971.

    Yes it was impressive.

    That Tesco store was built in 1974(ish) and knocked down in 2017 IIRC.

    The Magistrates Court was built at the same time on the site of my Great Grandfather's house, for which my Great Aunt received the princely sum of £1200 when it was compulsory purchased in 1973.

    The Magistrates Court was knocked down at the same time as Tesco.

    Naturally enough the corrupt barstewards (the heirs of that corrupt bastard Lord Engine Driver*) in Port Talbot now have the Magistrates Court.

    *the scumbag who controlled the education committee in Glamorgan.

    JTB - You're from Merthyr?

    You may have noticed the stick I sometimes get on here for claiming JSA ONCE! I'm sure they don't believe me that, I'm small fry compared to half the valleys claiming it!
