Great life story, love historical stories like this!

By coincidence this has come on the same Facebook page.

Pickering.
The Relief of Ladysmith. The traction engine is taking part in the Celebration Parade though the streets of the town, pulling the Pickering Fire Engine. It is a Wallis and Stevens engine Number 2425 or 2476,. The driver is Edwin Craggs of Ebberston, the engine was owned by Tom Garbutt of Pickering. The Siege of Ladysmith, in South Africa, was during the second Boer War and followed the battle of Ladysmith, when Boer forces surrounded the town. The Siege lasted 118 days from 2 November 1899 to 28 February 1900. A total of 3,000 british soldiers died in the Siege.

Has something changed on the forum?

Yes. A bit of a back to the future feel.

Guys as you can see the board has changed slightly. The old board was no longer supported so risked having issues. All the features should still be there i.e. the unread posts tool is under the quick links tab. Well get a notice out once we have a good check over it.

Looks good guys. Text is bigger on my phone at least.

Just noticed, the setting to open page on unread posts still works on phone, but not on computer... just if anyone is looking for differences

As stated before on here my back problems continue to hinder my mobility to the point of now using a walking stick. I had an MRI scan but still await the results. Anyway I applied for a Blue Badge have have just had confirmation my application was successful & have just paid for it. Life will be so much easier now I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I honestly thought by applying I was wasting my time but clearly not.

Yeah we have friends who have one & they say the difference is fantastic. My physio said I should apply a few months ago & the last time I saw him he asked had I applied to which I said no, he made me promise I’d do it. I was amazed when I got the email earlier.
