    People pay to see her because they can't get tickets for proper comedians.

    Things that annoy you

    And whilst we are at it drinks like Carling. Says 4% on the tin but is actually 3.6%. EU rules from many years ago says drink makers can be 10% out with the stated strength. These days it is much more accurate to make beer to an exact strength. But the same rule applies. It is a tax dodge as...

    My eldest lad drinks Fosters and Carling. He is a lorry driver so needs to stay sober when having a drink.

    Never has been funny. But it is all about the wrong way equality is dealt with these days. If she wasn't disabled we would never have heard of her. Has anyone ever watched her and not got the punchline well before she has managed to say it? Equality should all be about everyone getting the same...

    What are you snobby about?

    My mother in law was a 100% snob. She lived in a 2 up 2 down. She named the house Bramble Cottage. And if she got a letter addressed to her that didn't start with the name she gave it she would give you both barrels. When she heard my accent she told me I wasn't good enough for her daughter...

    Same here. We sold our motorhome when I finally talked the wife into moving to France knowing I wouldn't join her for another 4 years. I drive fast in a car. But put me in a motorhome and I'm happy to just cruise along at about 55mph.

    France. The only place I know where restaurants close early for dinner 😂 After visiting for 37 years we still have most of it to explore. But if you keep out of the cities the people are very welcoming. Most important bit if advice is say hello wherever you go. Don't live at 100mph because they...

    Very accurate 🤣 My wife was born in Louth. I used to call her the mouth from Louth 😆

    Give me a shout when you're ready. Lived in Lincolnshire for about 15 years before moving to Cumbria. Totally depends on what you want and need. You would be leaving where it rains a lot to where it is cold most of the year. Have you looked at Cumbria?

    We love Confolens. It is where we wanted to live. But the right property just never came up. It was all about compromise in the end. River bank on garden? No. But Gartempe and Vienne nearby. Close to a town/village square? No. But 7 minutes away. Ticked every other box. We join in with...

    Have the bed wetters disappeared again?

    We have a game in hand over most sides above us. Only 3 of our 13 games are against sides above us. 6 of our games are against the bottom 8 clubs.only 1 goal against us in the last 6 hours not including injury time. And we have the best striker in this division. Yes we still have injuries but...

    Most of my holidays have been France for the last 37 years. Love the place. And it is cheaper in France than the UK. Either take your car or get a flight each way for less than £20 each way if you can keep away from school holiday times. Camping? 10 years without a holiday? You need a break...

    I have my own winery. She will be sitting in the passenger seat 😁 Sounds excellent. The sort of way we will be doing it. We are about 2 and a half hours north of Bordeaux so 3 hours from Spain. Will do the campsites for the kids, wine/food places for wife and try and get close to good fishing...

    Depends which country. But much cheaper than a normal holiday. For instance in France you get free places for motorhomes all over to bring people into the area. €40 a day average should cover all costs.

    Nothing booked as such. I finally go and join my wife and kids in France next month. Our children finish school end of June and go back start of September. We're buying a motorhome and starting in Spain. Take in Portugal. South Coast of France then on to Italy. Next on the list is Croatia. Would...
