Another annoying thing, with all the technology that we have, why can't they get the voice over on adverts to match, especially on cleaning products. :)

They must really think us public are quite gullible, very unprofessional.

Ah Compo, I'm not sure how I missed that post, hope your delicate pinkies are better now.

Di The drainpipe thing comes fom a Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Song. Its about wanting to keep your anoying neighbous at bay, "It's my pink half of the drainpipe, I may paint it blue." You don't see drainpipes painted like that very much these days.

On opening a new Two West and Elliott catalogue this morning, i nearly jumped out of my boots.
There peering out of the pages, was our very own, freindly Steve Ott. :)

Gets about a bit, doesn't he. :)

Dear Alan, i don't know if you can help, but do you know if Rhydfallen Ganol means anything, it is the name of a farm if this helps, thanks.

'Pnawn da OH

Are you sure the spelling's correct?

I reckon it's Rhydafallen Ganol

In which case it's

RHYD = Ford
AFALLEN = Appletree
CANOL = Middle

MIDDLE APPLETREE FORD

Farms were often divided into Uchaf = Upper and Isaf = Lower. The one between was Canol (or Ganol feminine)

Welsh lesson for the day :wink:

Dear Alan, thankyou for your reply.

I've sent you a P.M, but it wouldn't let me send it through AOL, kept getting our annoying error 403 coming up, so sent it via IE.
I wonder if this is the same for just the people who are getting this problem, as i can P.M everybody else that i have tried. :?
