Nice place, was impressed with the can production unit and work shops, Our place shut the factory down and sold out a couple of times, apparently is now one of, if not the biggest sandwich (outout) manufacturer in the country.

nice, any early Roy of the Rovers is worth something - don't throw them out Nickbat someone somewhere will buy them if they're in good condition - not necessarily mint but complete and readable, you could punt them on ebay, the money's in the first couple of years tho ie mid to late fifties, Tiger annuals are worth money too if you have any but we're not talking crazy prices, still a couple of quid for something that cost a couple of pennies ain't too bad :y

Unknown to us my Mum kept evey comic that we had as kids plus all the Anuals.
Dandy, Beano, Whizzer and Chips then a couple my sister had, some got wrecked or scribbled on.
When she passed away we found them all boxed in years in the shed, sadly the roof had leaked and they were all black and manky. But they went black and manky from the rain.
Some must have gone back to the middle 60's and on into the 80's
Ah well. :'(

Qualified with an Electronics degree but tend to do most of my electron-herding with a keyboard rather than a soldering iron these days. ::)
Not a bad thing because I probably wouldn't enjoy electronics as much as a hobby otherwise.
After a dabble in the TV broadcast industry I settled in mobile comms where I develop software that runs on systems used for regulatory testing of mobile phones.
Everything from embedded real-time software to windoze applications. (bit too much of the latter and too little of the former at the moment. ::))

A life and a half in Telecoms then had the opportunity to do missionary work in Spain. The brief? Simply to promote real ale drinking. Five years on and after little noticeable results (i.e. still only lager) have become a farmer, predominantly olives. Like all farming jobs it is long hours and little return. In what little spare time left am renovating a house though that seems to be a losing battle. Any remaining time is used keeping the Omega all purpose vehicle running.

I'm just a regular guy
Never get rich, but I always get by
I got me a wife and a couple a kids
I done pretty much like my daddy did
He always did the best that he could
Took care of mama and us pretty good
He never got rich but he never did try
He was just a regular guy
Well the world goes around
I can't stop it
So I'll sit back and watch the sun go down
If it comes back up then this day's a good un
You know I wouldn't be that surprised
I'm just a regular guy
And I'll work until the day that I die
I'm too young to quit too old to hire
These days a man can't afford to retire
Didn't vote for nobody last time
Cause they wasn't worth a trickle down dime
But one man's promise is another man's lie
And I'm just a regular guy
as usual Steve Earle sums it all up :y

You might well go boggle eyed Vamps! As you are very well aware, there are some areas of 'Outstanding Natural Beauty' both in and around this much maligned Town ::)
For a start there's ..............
....Hmm, well there's the........
Power Station! and the................ Oh yea, the quaint old Steetley Works, not to mention the two, no three!!! natural history sites (landfill) spread strategically along the town boundaries. Then there's the scenic 'Herema' works on the Headland, which completely overshadows the ancient Abbey Church of St. Hilda. I could go on & on, but I realise it must be hard to bear for anyone living in the rural idylls of this benighted land, so I won't rub it in! ;) ::) ::)

Same place as the other one................rented it out to a bloke for the day and he did a runner (or should that be a 'paddler'?) just like the first bugger! The local 'Bobbies' found it & are 'minding' it for you. It will only cost you £15 a day storage + the towage fee to get it back (serves you right for trying to get past the Hartlepool Customs instead of coming in by road like all the other 'immigrants' LOL. BTW, you can get out of paying the release fees by donating the canoe to a Panama boys club, but of course you'll need to pay the shipping? :y
