I’m not sure if they do or not….. The other side of my town was home to several piggeries. One of my mate’s Dad used to manage one. For a laugh one day, six of us giggling teenagers went on a tour. We had to wear all-over jumpsuits with nothing on underneath (and no, it wasn’t to titillate the working blokes). The smell nearly burned my eyes out and I could see why any underwear would have needed to be thrown out afterwards. I couldn’t even look at a vacuum sealed packet of pork in a shop for years.

Here’s a shocker of a local nickname for you we used to use in school. She’s a ‘vegemite’ (our superior version of Marmite). Why, because she spreads easily…. groan.

Baino – Wait until you meet the rest of the characters!

Kath – You can’t beat the smell of a knackers yard where they melt down the carcasses for glue! Or do they do that any more??

Brianf – Wait until you see the bar tab tomorrow!

Best ‘o’ luck with the book writing, Grandad. I’m planning on doing one re my home village myself. No pints required though, just iced coffee, chocolate frogs and pepper pasties. And someone to try and bring back the welcome smell of rendering down the fat of lambs at the local meatworks, the tannery behind the main street and the dump right by the river. Happy days….

Haha ..Spanner . . that’s a very Aussie style nickname! Like Sparky for an Electrician! Well I’m glad I don’t live in the Village . . my reputation is safe for now!

Roy – OK. I’ll clarify something here. I’m talking about the village where Grandad lives. He lives in a different place from me. So the truth will come out about that place, but not this one.

RhodesTer – I am honoured indeed. I have no aversion to cross-dressing, provided it is tastefully done.

You can’t be sued for telling the truth , is that right? what about invasion of privacy? some of the things I could write if that were true!

Olga – May your cups always be filled with good cheer.

Steph – You have just destroyed the rest of Paddy’s week.
