Yes, Phil-Perfect as always. Ken's picture reminds me of an article that I just read in Esquire (a U.S. publication) about Philip Roth and how he returned to his hometown in New Jersey and pointed to a sign raised high on the corner announcing "Philip Roth Plaza" which when you looked down the street it encompassed mostly garbage cans. I think you can be very proud of your London namesake.

...philip i hope for one moment you are not suggesting that some kinda trickery is afoot.....
.....or maybe it's just jealousy that is driving you to such thoughts over the naming of a little square in a small town in germany where the custom is that every friday after work all the residents strip naked and then go to the pub and get drunk.......ta ken (did you know there is a forsyth street in new york?)

If they had shirts like this in the little town in Germany they only get drunk with the shirt on.

...thanks wybe for bringing forsyth street onto the thread.....i will tell you the story behind the naming of this street and of my ancestor the american general from north carolina before the thread ends.......
...in the meantime let's ponder a while on trying to figure out pete's assertion that he can never find his local passport office.....looking at the photographic evidence below i think pete is being slightly ecomonical with the truth...see you at GAPA in bavaria next year pete......ta ken

Ken..... you've made my day!
That road is in the 'no go area' of Matlock...but now I know the passport office is down that road I will go, as not going into a no go area is not an option anymore.
Thank you for your directions.

Tinders I don't check in the forum as often as I used to either but count me in on carrying on the Welsh thread with mindless mundane drivel and totally obscure information, that is my forte and what I miss most about the revamped forum and Ken's new venture on planning is actually quite intriguing and I am so bored today I am going to do a little surfing on relevant street names, I know you will all be here with bated breath waiting for any revelations I may find

Having spent some time with you lovely people I have come to the conclusion that this is the only street appropriate to this thread :
Have a nice day

philip….maybe considering the continual misuse of the word by the fruit cake element on the the forum this sign would be more appropriate.........
… according to the dictionary definition....
dread fear and inspiring of dread and fear…
…rather than to describe something which is slightly better than a poke in the eye….ta ken

I don't think you realise how timely and appropriate that is because the next reply will be the 1000th on this thread . I suspect that's just stopped the thread in it's tracks . Can anyone do it justice out there !
It really should be for Diane or Tim to say a few words on the subject . So to the both of you if you read this could you please post a reply so we can get on with our sad little lives .I must warn you I am not a patient man !

Dear Phil and everyone, as I am on a Fools and Horses theme, let's just say that this clip evokes all the setiments of our weekend that have kept this thread going for so long. The only difference was, they went to Margate.

as Del Boy said, Never stop believing . . .
With love from the street where I live.

Thanks Diane for your prompt and amusing post I was a bit worried that I had brought the thread to an abrupt halt . But as Del Boy would say "he who dares wins "

High Needham is in Derbyshire.
I'm led to believe that this is where my ancestors originated from.
...and no smart comments please from anyone about the cattle sign!!!!

I hope somebody eventually picked you up, Pete:-(
Watching that OFAH clip, I was thinking how I rather like the eeeasy feel of the Midnight Cowboy music, and the understatedness of the lyrics. LC apparently pretended to be Dustin Hoffman to star in that film.
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind

Btw, whatever happened to kiss me quick (squeeze me slow) hats??
And my stick of rock??
