Chris,
Can't call me a shandy drinker. Diet Coke or a nice cup of tea - and an packet of Custar Creams to dunk
Bob,
Might as well buy the county. Could then declare it an independent country.
Steve,
Know the feeling, we have the Hop Marketing Board round the corner, which does whiff quite strongly during hopping season.

As they say, you can always tell a Yorkshireman.....but you can't tell him much.

or was that the folks from the other place (Plymuff)

Emmets - this is the cornish language word for an ant, hence the nickname for a holiday maker.
grockles - a Devon (england) word
janner - this is the nickname for a cornishman, something to do with the tin industry

We call people who come to Derbyshire "visitors" and we enjoy their company and are more than willing to take their money. Devon and
Cornhole, alright but they are full of yokels. I live about 8 miles from Chatsworth House which is the stately home of the Duke of (wait for it)
Devonshire. There is a funny(ish) story behind that but it's a dig at Derbyshire so I'm not going to tell it.

If Id have known you were going to start a war I would have ordered a Cheiften Tank Kit instead an Indy.
Where are you, Im just North of Buxton.
Are there any other builders in the area.
Gordon
I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

Gordon,
I'm in the Outskirts of Sheffield about 2 minutes from the glorious roads of the peaks (once we get rid of all the visitors).
Chris - Perhaps you could come up with a location map or something to make it easy for people to find local builders?

Great to hear there are others in area.
We could do with organising a meeting in the area if there are enough interested, should be able to attract people from Sheffield, Chesterfield,
Manchester etc.
Please u2U if interested.

I hope I didn't give anyone the impression that I'm prejudiced, what with talk of Grockles and Emmets I was just going with the thread.
You can call me what you like as long as you don't call me late for dinner, or the last round. I didn't see junction 29 publicised last
month so I didn't go but if anyone wants to organise or just suggest a time and place then people could turn up. Wrong time of year for it
really but I've still got a months road tax.

Your right about the weather. How about a few tin-top meetings over the winter?
Trying to fill my weekends with building at the moment (and the bits that I don't the wife has plans for) - how about a weekday evening?
As for location? How about somewhere in the peaks-nice open fire on a cold evening type of thing.
Anyone got any favourites?

They might be allowed to stand outside and look in through the window as long as they are quiet. Notice he didn't tell you where it is. Are you
having a theme this month Chris?.

Yes, a theme.
I'll tell you monday
All are welcome, especially from Derbyshire, makes for easy"sheep" jokes.
I know some of you are shy, we'll be gentle with you, honest.
What have you got to lose, except three hours and possibly your sanity?
