well done Sir Anthony!allegedly the ancient family seat was Dacre castle which is about 5 miles east of Penrith. Gt Salkeld and Little Salkeld I can cope with, but I'm not at all sure about Salked Dykes!!! The Lisa clue was simply that back last September, she asked for recommendations for a site near Penrith, and I suggested North Dykes farm CS in Salkeld ****.

At last ,good contest Emmerson I can understand it would be difficult to get back that far with family tree mine is bad enough to 1586,but interesting never the less especially when his old home at least in part still exists and includes a CL with EHU (bit Heath Robinson) and owned by celeb himself as I say ex Blue Peter presenter also 5 min walk across field to real ale pub with good food ( the Landlady even bowed down to me when she knew my name!)also close to all peak district towns and points of interest including Crich tram museum,again thanks for contest.

I play a game called Spades and we chat in real time. It's great but in June Microsoft are changing the format - so that means there will be no real time chat in whats called the lobby if your not playing. You wont be able to zone message your friends either, only through msn messenger which is a pain. The only chat we will be able to have is when actually at a table playing. All might not be lost though because ex MSN programmers/developers are writing new Spades and many other games at a new site they have opened. We have all had to join MSN messenger though so we can keep in contact and inform each other which site we are going to use in the future. I've been in the Zone now 10 years and have made many friends, its better than a soap opera on tv.

As it happens I probably "outrank" lord B by a country mile :) But apart from the humour who gives an eff in toss about some pratish bygone hirearchal nonsense. Despite my "REAL BLUE BLOOD" I still bleed red looking stuff when a knife or hammer slips, the only advantage I've found is knowing what knives and forks to use when attending banquets :) And that's the honest truth ;-)

Lord B. in south Wales there was for many years Collins Pop but it was bought out by Tizer in the 1960s. Corona pop was also started in south Wales in the Rhondda valley by a company called Thomas & Evans. This was also bought out in the 1960s and is now part of Beechams food and medicine company. Your comment regarding Collin's Dictionary runs into many volumes so I would be careful in asking to be hit by a big one as you could have quite a headache. However as a retired paramedic a mere headache is nothing to cure is it?

If you're talking Collin's surely Tom should be top of the list.

Made withe export Tanqueray Gin, Lemon Juice, Soda Water, Lemon Slice and a Maraschino Cherry. add the red glowing sun going down on an Indian Ocean Sunset as the ball of fire shows it green hue for a split second as it fades from sight. Heaven ;-)

Not sure about that the one with Bill the Conk was an ancestor of John de Babington so must be a frog so both from across the water(thinking of changing my name again but this time to Kermit! )
