Anyone remember the Talk of Yorkshire club in Laisterdyke in the 70s?
I remember seeing Billy Fury and Emele Ford there 😄

Looks like you're having lovely weather in Toronto.
Here 'oop North' as we say, it's been awful today, pouring down all day ☔☔. Tomorrow and all next week we are in for a really cold 🥶 snap, forecast is 12 degrees Celsius, frosty nights. Autumn here with a bang.

Was it made in Devon? I say this because they've put the cream on before the jam. Outrageous 😠😉
