Heathrow, I'm sure most are doing something similar though.

 

You have to book in advance though, not walk ins.

Just checked, no good for me as they shut at 19.00, my arrival time.

Turkey runs it 24/7, but hey, the UK rule maaaan

Cheers, and sorry.

 

Where in North Yorkshire were you? My old man was born in Selby so I spent a reasonable amount of my childhood seeing family in that neck of the woods.

 

 

I was born and raised in Selby, have you still family in the area?

Not as far as I'm aware. My grandad died 20 years ago. Everyone else has moved away, sadly. 

 

Selby and Pocklington were the two places my old man grew up in the area. 

 

What is Selby like now?

Pretty shite these days although I’ve not lived there myself for over 30 years but my brother and sister still live there. The area started to decline in the 80’s then quickly went downhill with the closure of the Selby area coalfield. Shame really as growing up there in the 60’s & 70’s it was a great place to live.

My view in the morning, just about beats my uk view of Abbotsford Road school in Nogsy.

Doesn't look anything like Norris Green Baths from my memory.

Not great, but taken on my phone a couple of years ago, and I always liked it.

Lovely that, its always hard the get the sky to do itself justice on a photograph. That sky reminds me of the sky abpve Liverpool the night we beat the mancs on the way to the title. (I know I know)

the other half was feeling rough, so didn't want her picture taken.  I inadvertently took a good picture.

Yeah, there was something quite depressing about the place in the early 2000s when I last saw it. High street like something from a zombie film.

Well it doesn't stink of piss, so that's a plus.

Never did find out what heavy petting was.

Covered tit I think. Which surprisingly never cut it for me

Swimming baths were the only place that made hot blackcurrant drinks acceptable.

We’re you there to get photos of those planes, or there and they happened to be flying over?

I was there to catch anything flying through really. It was a spot known as Great Howe at the top of Thirlmere. There's a few good spots round there like Smaithwaite which is in the shadow of Raven Cragg as well. You get them heading towards you over the water which can make for nice shots.

I think the Yanks calling it fall captures it much better than Autumn.
