Forester Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 On the 19/20 of May we will be going to Howarth Yorks for there WW2 w/end (free to attend) & i cannot find any where to park our van overnight, all the sites are too far from the event ( its in the town itself ) Can anyone help or know of a site in or about the town. I have phoned Infomation Centre who cannot help so i turn to all the lovley people on here for help & advice Thanks. Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hiya Maggie, and after everything Wayne has said about you a chance to put the record straight perhaps. If you type in "Howorth Yorkshire" on the web search you will get plenty of information and a map of the town centre, and hopefully a list of parking places. We find the best way to ensure somewhere to park whenever we go to such events is to get there as early as possible. Arriving at 7.00 am, this means no problem with parking, and if thats to early we have some breakfast and go back to bed for a hour or two. Why not check back with the orginisers to see if they can help. They might know of any timetables re. public transport back and fore into town. Enjoy the event anyway, and if you come across any medals for long service suffering and patience, then get Chopper to treat you to the biggest one going. Its the least he can do. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Might be "worth" trying the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (which is probably involved in the event: they often provide locations & props for mid-20thC films & TV dramas). If they're in a good mood they might let you stay in one of their station car parks. Their site is www.kwvr.co.uk And Howie, if you're going to correct Maggie's spelling get it right! It's HAWORTH (although all variants occur as surnames, pronouced exactly the same way). Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 hello maggie. our howies taken to his bed as he dont feel to good after working hard for charitable causes all day but he wants you to know that he didnt correct any spelling mistakes you might have made cause he didnt see any. he highlighted howarth yorks to make it easier for you to find and everybody spells it different anyway. looks like some folk got nothing to do but stir up trouble for others but howie dont do things like that and a kinder and more generous man you wont find. he does all the cooking ironing and housework for me and still finds time for my cuddles and what have you. pity some dont realise what a lovely sensitive feller thier talking to sometimes and lets hope he gets better treatment in future. mrs howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Dear Mrs Howie I am distraught with anguish that I might have caused any kind of upset to so noble a fellow. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me? And please pass on my good wishes for him to feel better in the morning. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 thank you for your concern and kind thoughts tony which i,ve passed on to our howie still has a bit of a fever i,m afraid what with his goggles all steamed up and muttering something about varnished doors but i,m sure he,ll be right in a day or two pardon me for asking tony but have we met somewhere before your face looks awful familiar but i cant quite place it. mrs howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 That might just be the result of the uncanny resemblance Howie has referred to elsewhere. If you can get his goggles off you might see what he means. But I'm sure that like me (and Howie) you're a much-travelled person, who moves among the better sort of people, so it's certainly possible we've come across each other before.

Forester Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 bigmoney2.Thanks for the web sites the nearest is 1 mile away, phoned the T.I.C yesterday and they confirmed there is not a site or street to park up over night i Howarth/Howorth. You would think the farmers (who are always skint ) would open up a field or is that too complexed?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Forester - 2007-04-19 2:32 PMI think we should have a whip round for poor poor Howie .... QUOTE]I'm sure I can find a whip for Howie but do you think Mrs Howie would be prepared to use it on him for us as I don't think we'd be allowed in to have a round of whipping? And do you think Howie would enjoy it or not at his age??? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 hello forester. i been up and told our howie about you having a whip round for him cos he as been poorly he said you were a real brick at least i think thats what he said as he s still a bit feverish thank you for your offer but i think he wants any donations of all these generous folk sent direct to him mrs howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 How you doing sweety, getting on with that book I hope. Don,t know if there,s a problem your end with this thread but its gone like it did the other day, all spread out and only half the postings readable. Given your thoughts on writing a book my full attention all day, and so far i,ve completed "Once upon a time". Hope your doing better. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Howie, Same problem this end its getting bigger ? I have been out tonight to see my old aunty she has given me the name of my book its going to be called LAC OF CARE The reason it's LAC and not LACK is because in Social Work terms LAC means LOOKED AFTER CHILDREN what do you think? catchy or what ... I mean she just came up with the word LACK & it fitted with the SW terminology Omen or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 michele - 2007-04-20 12:28 AM Howie, Same problem this end its getting bigger ?Ohhh how i wish it could be applyed to chopper??????Maggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The spreading-out thing seems to happen when something in one of the posts is very wide. Sometimes it's a pic, but it looks as if this time it's the long "link" in bigmoney2's posting. I've used deliberately short lines in this post by pressing "enter" after every few words. Can't think of any other way to beat it once a thread has spread like this. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The only way the thread can go on a 'diet' is if the moderator edits the long link I'm afraid so we're stuck with it for the time being. Welcome back Howie, you didn't want your whipping then? Thought you'd have enjoyed it really but no doubt you just couldn't risk the over-excitement with Mrs Howie, not used to it I assume at your age!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Do try and pay attention Mel. Only half your message is visible, but if you do as Tony suggested and type short lines likewhat i,m doing then problem solved. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
