You don't see men coming into pubs of a night with a basket full of cockles, mussles and whelks anymore.Probably a good thing. Those damned whelks have a lot to answer for!BTW I am new here, nice to see such a vibrant place

Welcome, Roundylad. I kept well clear of the whelks!I think we've touched on this subject before, either in one of the pub threads, or Things You Don't See Anymore.

Cheers Brandy. I last looked at my p'bucket account months ago. I don't remember my ID or password on it, and besides, I have a new e-mail address since then. Also, I have no luck getting into my Flickr account for the same reason. They've sent me a reminder of my password etc, but to the old (non-existant) e-mail address!
