They're All Goin On A Summer Holiday



Doop doo-doo do do do-do-doo. Yes at 4.45pm today school's out for summer as the factory closes it's door for a week and has a breather as the lads take a well earned break. Some of us - the one's in the office and stores - won't be joining them, as somebody has to answer the phones and send out the hundreds of boilers that will inevitably be ordered next week as this month has already seen a day in which we broke our record for the number of machines ordered in a single day. How many were ordered on that day? That would be telling and we don't want to give away our trade secrets to the competition. So, to all you hard workers in the factory, I hope you have a great break and that the sun shines brightly on you and your families.



Marion and I cant wait to go to the broadcast of Magic Numbers tomorrow night at 9 pm on ITV1 and ITV1HD. Pamela Anderson will be amongst the guests and we may get the chance to meet her in the green room afterwards although I doubt that she will be blogging or tweeting about meeting us! The show is great entertainment and, although it had not been a ratings smash hit the comments on the web have been getting better and better as the show has continued its run. I just spotted these after last week's show on tvguide.co.uk ." XXXcellent This show grows on you. totally love it Kat. " "Superb entertainment great to see new and refreshing talent with a "too tense to watch" end game. Well done ITV dibber". Other guests include Alexandra Burke and Flawless so it should be another great show.



The hall looked like Aunty Wainwright's shop (In "Last Of The Summer Wine" if you aren't a fan) this morning as Marion and I had a big clear out and de-clutter of some antiques that we have not had on display for a while. A very nice bloke from a new auctioneers came to collect it all and it will be going for sale at the Southport Theatre And Convention Centre on 2nd October. They plan to have 400 top quality lots and have already sourced two thirds of those. I hope it is a big success as we have placed very low reserves on the items. Go and have a look if you are in Southport in October. Viewing starts Friday 1 October.



Although we are not going on holiday Marion and I are having the afternoon off to travel down to London. Tomorrow we plan to go to Portobello Antiques market. So we can clutter everywhere back up again.

I loved another of Chegger's tweets yesterday. "First sign of madness? Suggs walking up your drive" pure gold.

I'll close today with a little film for everyone in the factory.
