Ah! that’s why some people on here, suddenly, part way throughtheir psts have a crazy miment. I always assumed it was because they were typing on their phone’s tiny keyboard. Now I realise they are folling A1. 
Wibble. Fruitbat stethoscope mullions.
Ah! þæt is forþon þe sume folc on her, swiðe, æfter middan þara hiora psts hæbbe a wyrðe mīment. Ic eallunga hæfde geþohht þæt hit wæs forþon hīe wæron typende on heora fone’s lytlan cyþþe. Nū ic onfōh þæt hīe beoð fōlling A1. 
that’ll get the Ai going
It’ll get it singing lude singe cuccu 
“Cwædon þæt he wære wyruld-cyninga,
manna mildust ond mon-ðwærust,
leodum liðost ond lof-geornost.”
Officer Crabtree !
I imagine Unwinese is too predictable
Goldyloppers trittly-how in the early mordy, and she falolloped down the steps. Oh unfortunade for cracking of the eggers and the sheebs and the buttery full-falollop and graze the knee-clappers. So she had a Vaselubrious, rub it on and a quick healy huff and that was that.
Have I stepped through the Looking Glass here?
Welcome to the funny farm 
Think we’re moven in uncle Stavely pardon terrortoire. It Liken all reedy.
“I Didn’t Know You Cared” (written by Peter Tinniswood) was a great series. 
A friend of mine at university, who was from Dinnington just to the east of Sheffield, instantly became known as “Uncle Staveley” and has remained so to this day.
(For those not in the know, that’s Uncle Staveley in the bowler hat, with the ashes of his old comrade Corporal Parkinson in a box around his neck.)
Also starring (L-R) Anita Carey, Stephen Rea, the wonderful Robin Bailey as Uncle Mort, Bert Palmer as Staveley, Liz Smith and John Comer.
ETA: the DVD box set of this series seems to be a collector’s item now - £50 on Amazon!
I have, somewhere, the original book by Peter Tinniswood.
Been doing some computer spring-cleaning and found a roll-film photo I took last time I was in London, motorbike cruising, around 1992/3. I couldn’t remember where this building & pond were, so used various AI photo location websites – no luck.
Used good old Google Images which found it toute suite.
The older lower photo, of Caroll’s Farm, Chingford, London UK, was taken in 1950. It’s still there today, including the pond, and I’m sure some ducks as well.
I hate to disappoint you, but they may not be the same ducks.
I like to pretend.
You’re just fooling yourself. Ducks are not immortal, no matter what the Church of Mallard may say.
Ducks played a crucial role in the religious and cultural practices of early human civilizations in Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia?
There is a Duckism of course, the original religion of the duck. Founded by Donald Duck in Ducksberg, Duckistan, 100 AD (Anno Duck).
