I should have said, the engine driver joke was one of Albert Modley's.

Two men go paddling in Morecambe while on their local pub's annual outing."Ee, Charlie", says one, "aren't your feet mucky?""Aye tha's reet", says t'other. "But tha sees, I didn't paddle last year!"That was another.

Hello LS 1,I'll see if I can find time tomorrow to run down and take a photo, just to put your mind at rest! As I said earlier,I'm going there for dinner on Sat. Night. so it is open for business! Paris did shut down for a while, but re-opened under new management this year. We had a pleasant meal there a few weeks ago.

Went to the Paris resteraunt last night,the meal wasn't bad but nothing outstanding. The place was abit cold and there were only 3 tables occupied so not a very good atmosphere. They had Leeds brewery Bitter on draught but it wasn't that good.Probably wont go again

Sort of damned with faint praise then, Stutters. Sorry it wasn't a better experience. Come back Modley & Showers, all is forgiven!

Hello Uno, yes I'm sorry it I couldn't give it more praise. Maybe the cold weather put people off going? We were going to call in the Railway before we dined but the ladies said it was too bad underfoot to walk over the river, so we went straight to Paris.

Blimey, that would have sounded really exotic had I not known the context!BTW, you could have told the ladies that there is a bridge!!! Not quite as wet that way.
