27 Apr, 2012
Yorkshire you will properly seen me working in the car park at Tesco Brighouse if you ever go there. They are some good restaurants in Brighouse as well as Czerwick Cheese & Wine shop that has to be the best in the north of England.

27 Apr, 2012
Thanks everybody! Love all the comments and places.
Need to buy/find a ruler....
27 Apr, 2012
If only I 'd known Steve..we went to Brighouse yesterday..to the 'Golden Hind' fish and chip restaurant for lunch..should have been going to Holmfirth,but needed to visit Wilko's !...I will look out for you,next time we go..BTW,my daughter used to work at your rival Supermarket across the road,and lived in an apartment in the old chapel,going towards Rastrick.. small world eh ?
27 Apr, 2012
This is fascinating.!. Brilliant idea Lulu
27 Apr, 2012

Isn't this fun!
27 Apr, 2012

27 Apr, 2012
ooooh er karen!!! that is scary!!
this is great for so many connections lulu ~ well done you!!
you could put tetrarch on cos you know where she is.
27 Apr, 2012
Yes, I do feel a little 'scary' ...however, sadly, I don't have a room for Stevie TT, since my two 'children' have re-taken their former territories! :)) Oh well, looks like I might have to do my own chopping then :))
27 Apr, 2012
Isn't this great,Lulu? We would never have known if you hadn't got your map out ! Lol....Even if we look at profiles,we only have a vague idea where Goyers live..love it .:o)..I haven't been to Easingwold..just outside York,isn't it ?
27 Apr, 2012
Nobody from my neck of the wood yet......
27 Apr, 2012
I'm quite close to you Pam. Im about 3 miles from Ashby de la Zouch. Hi Lulu, I'm right in the middle of the country, around 20 miles south of Derby/Nottingham. :)
27 Apr, 2012
There you go Pam!
Just 13 miles north east of York Bloomer.
27 Apr, 2012
i'm in Egham Lulu, not far from the park :-)
27 Apr, 2012
Just off Plymouth and keep swimming south until you reach land!
28 Apr, 2012
Hi Dawn, my oh was in Ashby the other day,. We may be better with a boat Nariz..........:0)))
28 Apr, 2012
Halesowen in "The Black Country", just off junction 3 of the M5.
10 miles North of Sticki(Bromsgrove) and 10miles west of Birmingham.
28 Apr, 2012
At this rate we could have our own 'yellow book'
28 Apr, 2012
havent seen clarice(carol) yet Lulu so place her with me in blackpool, dont want her left out haha
28 Apr, 2012
Think your title Lou should read
'Map of Goy Ers & Is' !!!! Lol
28 Apr, 2012
east end of London here, but not for any longer than it takes me to get out!
28 Apr, 2012
Where to Fran?
You lost me GM!
28 Apr, 2012
i am wondering if there ought to be a catagory on goypaedia ~ meeting friends?? this map would be fabulous for finding people!??
28 Apr, 2012
Lou!!! now, Ers=hers and Is= his !!!!!!(Goy Ers&Is!!) Never mind dont worry, just my sense of humour.
Sticki maybe ask Terratoonie about map!
28 Apr, 2012
does Terratoonie already do this?
28 Apr, 2012
How do we zoom into your map? Also you ask us to put our marker on it, how do we do that?? Am I being quite daft here?
28 Apr, 2012
Hi Sticki, TT. does some work on this site, not sure what it is called, but she might know the answer!
28 Apr, 2012
ok, thanks
28 Apr, 2012
lol Lulu, that's the prob - basically, anywhere that's got clean air (well, cleaner than this bit of London, which wouldn't be hard) and isn't on a flood plain! well, that also has good public transport and shops fairly near. and - and - but those are the basic criteria.
if you hold down the CTRL button and move the mouse wheel back and forth, the page will zoon in or out - there are other ways to zoom, but that's the one I find easiest
28 Apr, 2012
Pam: Small world :)
28 Apr, 2012
London's a bit of a flood/bad air risk...I remember!
28 Apr, 2012
Thanks Fran, yipee that worked!
28 Apr, 2012
there are other ways, GM, but if your hands are on the keyboard anyway ...
lol Lulu, my three main criteria for this new flat were: ground floor, private garden, outside any known flood risk areas. This end of Tower Hamlets is on slightly higher ground than the riverside end. Of course, halfway up a mountain is safer still! but then there's landslade and avalache risks *s*
28 Apr, 2012
Not on my mountain, and only 12 minutes drive to a small town heaving with bars and restaurants. I'd pitch it against Tower Hamlets any day! :o)
29 Apr, 2012
LoL! Me too!
I live highish on a plateaux, not near a stream or river but this rain!.....we have mini lakes everywhere!
29 Apr, 2012
Puddles everywhere here and looks like the bits from half a dozen oak trees have covered the garden with green confetti.
29 Apr, 2012
My friend Gill suggests we open our gardens at the end of April next year - hmmmm
29 Apr, 2012
glad it wasnt this year andrew!!
29 Apr, 2012
lol anyone want to swop for a ground floor flat in Bethnal Green???
sounds a good idea, Andrew, gives you a year to get ready, or as ready as the weather will let you!
29 Apr, 2012
Lulu - Mr Bettle settled somewhere near Chepstow, lol.
You can place me halfway between Abergavenny and Cwmbran, near Pontypool. Have got enough pins? lol
29 Apr, 2012
Will do Kasy!
Goodness the garden is looking lush but the grass is boggy!
29 Apr, 2012
And soggy..........And its still raining......
29 Apr, 2012
"Planted for minimal watering" - I think my garden description in the Yellow Book needs updating!
29 Apr, 2012
Planted and floating,... instead Andrew? Is it still raining there?
29 Apr, 2012
Sunshine! Sunshine!. .....
30 Apr, 2012
Oh please just a little sunshine between the showers forecast for this week!!!
Ooh my first blog/photo over 100!!
Still trying to work out how best to make this map...all my ideas mean about 1 metre wall space!!
30 Apr, 2012
Lulu - it was a bit of sunshine here just a minute ago!!! Will have my camera ready for next spell, lol.
You need one of those huge map walls Lulu I'm affraid. ;-)
30 Apr, 2012
little labels for each member, laid on the map, then photo the map in 4 bits so its not too tiny to see????
nearly sun here too ~ its NOT raining!!!!
30 Apr, 2012
I just heard on the radio -17 degrees for today!!! hard to believe, lol.
30 Apr, 2012
enjoy it kasy!!!
30 Apr, 2012
hmmm - checked the weather forecast for where I work - 14 degrees and showers:(
well - just have to get there and see:)
30 Apr, 2012
I was thinking along the lines of Sticki...a bit of cut and paste and photo!
30 Apr, 2012
Just been outside; hot enough for shorts and t-shirt. it's either feast or famine, isn't it?
30 Apr, 2012
We gotta cold windy wind!
30 Apr, 2012
How about the southern hemisphere......and the 'States...Lulu....... :0)
30 Apr, 2012
Sticki - it finally stopped raining yesterday just before it got dark. Today has been dry with sunny spells - got loads done in the garden (including cutting the grass!)
30 Apr, 2012
wettest april since records began in the early 1900s, the news said. i believe 'em
30 Apr, 2012
Stopped raining about 6ishpm yesterday, I got up to sunshine today and it was soon very warm, all lawns mowed and strimmed, considering how much the lawn at the bottom of the garden has been swimming lately, it was easy, planted a few things out and also had a session working in the greenhouses, my tomato`s are all planted in the rings, so I`m a happy goyer...
30 Apr, 2012
Sunny here Lincs, today but tis raining again now. Managed to plant out my courgette plants was going to mow the lawn but didnt :~( maybe tomorrow!
30 Apr, 2012
We had no rain all day! Unbelievable!
30 Apr, 2012
are we the only country in the world that can have hosepipe bans and flood alerts at the same time???
30 Apr, 2012
Probably Fran..........we let it go out to sea in the rivers without capturing it on the way I understand........
1 May, 2012
Yay! I mowed yesterday and strimmed and now it's raining again. Looks like another 5 days of rain for our part of the country...The lawn looks good though!
1 May, 2012

1 May, 2012
Oh well I guess it was too much to hope for another good day, had to go shopping which I hate so treated myself to two Fuschia`s at Morrisons as a consolation prize, off down the g'house after dinner to plant them, at least I can work in there....
1 May, 2012
Well Sticki I,m very pleased, going to function where the dress code is' cocktail'....... always difficult..... and found a floaty top and skirt with big pretty pink flowers and an off white short sleeved jacket with little bows on the pockets and just had to have some white and silver sandals.......you know how sometimes shopping just goes right!!
1 May, 2012
oh well done you pam ~ i NEVER get it right but its really nice to hear when someone does.
