LymmParent Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Nastiness comes from the inevitable minority who prejudge the new arrivals and won't give them a chance. That divides the pre-existing community, because the hostile sector get very shirty with anyone who doesn't toe their party line. No incomer can cause that sort of damage. Sheltered life? Hardly.

LymmParent Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 What's a 'pikel' ? I have not learnt anything new today so that will have to do I assumed he meant pikes and had made an error. Maybe he meant Pikelets, those small crumpetty things. Perhaps he thinks we toast them and throw them at commoners. People believe all kinds of crap about Lymm residents..... Or pickles, perhaps - I mean you could repel some serous invaders with a well placed silverskin or two, couldn't you?! Pikel'ner, is I believe, a crater on the Moon or some such spacey thing, but that would hardly fit the context..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm even more intrigued now. Wasn't going to google it as I wanted Peter to tell me (as it would make him feel clever ) but I had a very quick look......... ..... and there is a pub in chester called the 'Rake and Pikel'. Nothing obvious popped up on the google search though to say what a Pikel actually is or was. Might look again later if I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might look again later if I remember Had a quick google and I can only find it as an old english form of pickle, meaning a spicy sauce or gravy. Wonder if he thinks I might chuck that at passing 4x4s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm not sure that it is in 'his' fevered mind as you were the one who mentioned throwing pickles in spicy sauce or gravy at passing 4x4's... so something at the back of your mind must have stirred If it's something that you really need to get out of your system then I am happy to oblige as long as you take them out of the jar first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete said he thought we used them to drive away incomers - that's the only way I can think of using them to do it. Delivering them threatening jars of piccalilli or something wouldn't get us very far..... and coming from the woman who coats them in chocolate to upset little children..... well, nuff said!

Name calling at that level demeans both of us. You owe me an apology for that one. Your claims to the exploits of Zorro are as yet unproven. Even if they are all true and you are a hero in ruined Mexican villages, that still doesn't make you more qualified than I am to comment on the effects of incomers to the place where I've lived for more than four decades.

Fats, try thinking about it - if it's not too much of a strain. No, just give us some of these 'host' of reasons. I can't think of any, so I need some help here. You're usually only too quick to offer an opinion on everything. I can certainly think of reasons why you won't fill in the blanks in your argument, and I imagine therefore we'll never get the benefit of your wisdom.
