You said that to Minxy pal, but when I was making love with her, she talked of your inadequacies in the nether regions….shame! Masky
Brizzle Bluebird predicting from the banks of the River Thames after a morning strolling around Buckingham Palace.... Sadly going to echo most thoughts and predict a 2-1 loss Rambo to get off the mark for City. Cheers FFB.
You weren’t wrong about our defence - that’s 6 conceded in 3 games - Simpson isn’t Vauxhall conference standard.
Twyfords were part of the Staffordshire pottery industry and Edward John was part of Armitage Shanks, rivals in the same area! Bob Latchford played for Armitage in their Sunday League side, and enjoyed a hearty Irish breakfast with white pudding! Masky
Very good. Most sanitary ware was originally made of fireclay and although both Twyfords and Armitage Shanks kept their fireclay production in Stoke-on-Trent, they set up their mass production of vitreous china in Alsager and Rugeley respectively. I was fortunate to visit all four sites back in the nineties. Don't know what their set ups are these days but I was quite fascinated by it all back then. I've enjoyed sharing thes moments with you.
The main ingredients of sanitary ware iare Ball Clay and particularly China Clay, which I believe is only found in Cornwall…..I was in the bathroom industry for 46 years, and I am now 57 years old! Masky
I was in the industry too but not for as long as you. Bogs, basins, baths and bidets eh? Though I was more involved in stuff for hospitals and the like.
See how the quality of the conversation between two respected stalwarts of this forum is reduced in an instance by people of suspect intellectual standards? Pray offer him a coin and pass with pity (Dylan ‘67 said that). Masky
Alsager is just down the road from me. Spent quite a few Tuesday evenings watching our daughter doing showjumping there.
I think Twyfords closed the factory there about a dozen or so years back. May have it wrong, but I think they built a supermarket on the site.
