Finnish driving licences don't have addresses on them - why should they? But Finns are requested to let the Registration Office know their address. The driving licence has your personal code on it, and the authorities can find your address from that. Generally, in Finland, info from one Government department to the other flows efficiently, and the red-tape paperwork protocols run smoothly.

Eddie on the boat we're travelling with has sky and has offered us use of his dish - provided it doesn't interrupt his football ... alas, having used their whirly gig today (and subsequently watched THEM drying washing on a clothes horse like what we've got) it would be a step TOO far... We did bring them back some water today though when we went to fill up first thing.... If youre about next weekend, Hop Vine in Buscough centre (opposite Tescos on main road) beer / gin festival all weekend.. Best beer festival Ive been to, highly recommended, live music all day, all 4 days, fantasic hosts and phew...what views!!! 😉 Im moving upto The Slipway or the Rufford branch junction with the biatches probably Thursday, after I finish work, for a weekend on the lash?🍻

Chocolate coated marshmallows are known as "Tête-de-nègre" in French. Something tells me this would not be allowed in Englandland !

Maybe "Diggers' heads" with a different starting letter would be okay.

I guess this sort of thing wouldn't be considered to be 100% politically correct nowadays.

Neither would this, I used to collect the little pin badges. Now they have been consigned to the woodpile.

“The sick face of modern Britain, Pippa Middleton will kill deer, boar, birds - any animal struggling to live, or that gets in her socialite way. “This is because her sister is, of course, Kate, who herself became ‘royal’ simply by answering the telephone at the right time, and this association allows Pippa’s kill, kill, kill mentality to be smilingly endorsed.”

Besos de negrita in Spanish. That's the same as they were called in the Netherlands when I was a kid, and maybe still now "Neger zoenen" = kisses of a negro.
Peter.

It's about time 'blacking' of boats was referred to as 'painting with bitumen'.
