I still have my "Chester Barnes-Frying Pan Shaped" Bat!


I kid you not. Cost me 50 pence in 1974 and I used it for 15 years.


Different colours each side with different pimples each side, one "slow" and one "fast".


It was easier to deceive an opponent with a "twiddle" b4 the Law was changed to have 2 different colurs to each side.


Before both sides looked the same and you can imagine the fun I had!


Sometimes I played a like-minded player and got hoist with my own petard but I played in The Central London League ( Premier) and Westminster Summer League for nearly 15 years in each League.


Great days and some fabulous battles!

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
