Hosepipes are useful getting the initial dust off before hand washing

I believe in choices and respect what the young person wants. The welfare system has been unfair to some for a few years now - I understand what you are saying

To be honest it's not something I'm really interested in, I believe it's come from America.I try and keep up with the times though ,and the children love it so I join in by offering sweets and putting the Pumpkin out lit up with nashing teeth for them to give them some pleasure.
Around our area they tend to only go where there's a welcome light on which is the decent thing to do.
I put a poster in my daughters window saying 'no trick or treat' as she can't keep getting up to answer her door.
Never had any issues yet!

General Discussion / Re: "Killer" dogs
« on: September 16, 2023, 06:42:12 PM »The P.M. has announced that these XL dogs are to be banned huzzah, BUT unfortunately not till around Xmas.
These dogs are responsible for eleven deaths to date {and counting} one poor bloke only yesterday killed by two of them, yet Xmas is still over three months away so pity anyone between now and December.
No one has to worry about my dog turning nasty and biting someone...cos' I haven't got one, you don't have to worry about my dog but by heavens I have to worry about yours. Every dog owner will swear their dog will never harm anyone unfortunately it's a very expensive price someone will pay when it turns out they are wrong.
It reminds me of a bloke I worked with many years ago who owned a large dog, he told me he's not afraid to let his young daughter go to the shops by herself {taking the dog with her} as the dog will guard her with his life and no one will get anywhere near her, I said so what happens if she trips and falls and starts crying and some innocent bloke rushes to pick her up?
All I got for my trouble was verbal abuse as quite obviously he hadn't considered that eventuality.
I only have wild Hedgehogs who are very laid back creatures - except one I had from being really tiny - he turned into a proper little terror. I swore after releasing him on my garden he would return one night and chase me round the garden

I was pleased to a photograph of the train running in the Queens Park the other day. I thought it had closed. So many children had lots of fun on that train.
Can anyone remember the paddling pool ? It's been gone for many years yet i would love to see it return but it has a cost attached to it so I doubt it will.
It's been so long since we went into the Queens Park, my extended family of children had so much fun in the playground near the café - is the café still open ??

I won't be at the village party. Unfortunately the young autistic person I used to take found it too much with the children running noisily around. She enjoyed it for the first couple of years though.
I do generally buy a Pumpkin for 'the night' and make it visible so the children know they can knock for treats.

I don't know anything about this new breed which is in the news.
Are they bred to be nasty? Or is it poor training?
Rotties - one of my brothers had them for many years. None were nasty all very well trained and under control they were just big soft lumps. Large yes almost the size of a calf. One used to sort of lean on my legs and my legs used to buckle with the weight
Another used to piddle with excitement when I visited much to my brothers annoyance
My other brother had Staffies again all soft lumps and not nasty.

I think they need to look at and improve what we've got rather than spend money on new ventures.

I've never lived in Chesterfield but only a 10 min drive away providing Derby Road isn't busy
