“Prevent a wreck with a two minute check”
A SCHEME by partners to drive down road traffic collisions this winter starts with a set of free vehicle safety clinics this week. Cleveland Fire Brigade along with Middlesbrough Council and North Eastern Tyres and Exhausts (NETE) will be carrying out winter vehicle safety checks throughout the winter season to prevent against the typically high number of incidents during the season. Experts will be on hand at various locations across Teesside to assist drivers prepare for the coming winter months. Car owners will benefit from a free safety check involving:
•Tyres checked for wear & tear using depth gauges and checks for damage to the side walls •Lights/ indicators checked •Windscreen wipers checked for perished/ split rubbers •Washer fluid topped up •Antifreeze checked (by NETE) In addition the team, including road safety staff from Middlesbrough Council, will be talking to drivers about safe road management this winter and the importance of servicing and keeping equipment updated.
Simon Weastell, from Cleveland Fire Brigade, said: “In April, May and June this year we had a spike in the increase in road traffic collisions (RTCs) in the Middlesbrough District and a few of those collisions involved extricating casualties from vehicles. We recognised with our Partners that we needed to tackle the problem and are happy the supermarkets have let us use their premises.” FREE vehicle safety checks are taking place at: •Tesco Coulby Newham on: Friday 12 November at 10.00am 2.00pm •Morrisons Berwick Hills on: Friday 10 December at 10.00am 2.00pm
Coffee break humour
Two drunks – Sean and Patrick - staggered into a bar in Dublin and as Sean ordered two double whiskeys Patrick collapsed unconscious on the floor. ‘Make that one,’ said Patrick. ‘The great thing about Sean is he always knows when he’s had enough!’ An employer angrily asked his secretary why was late yet again. ‘Sorry,’ she said, ‘but I overslept.’ ‘What’ he yelled, ‘you don’t mean you sleep at home, as well?’ ‘Doctor,’ said the old man, ‘every time I close my eyes to go to sleep I see pink crocodiles.’ ‘Have you seen a psychiatrist?’ asked the doctor. ‘No,’ was the reply, ‘only pink crocodiles.’ For information about the Local Answer visit www.local-answer.co.uk

Just like buses!
November 2010
Website www.local-answer.co.uk
The old saying that after waiting hours for a bus several come along at once has never been better illustrated than by the current crop of ‘reality’ TV shows. After something of a dearth over the summer we now have ‘Strictly Come Dancing,’ ‘X Factor’ and ‘The Apprentice’ running concurrently and that has to be a bit of a treat for most TV fans because in different ways they are all un-missable! The singular theme running through all three shows is that they all feature contestants who have absolutely no right to be considered part of the human race - never mind potential winners. In ‘Strictly,’ for instance the ‘late’ and extremely unlamented Paul Daniels demonstrated better than most how not to dance and made even the incredibly immobile Peter Shilton look like Fred Astaire. (It has to be said, though, that he handled his exit with a dignity we have rarely seen from him in the past.) And the fact that Ann Widdicomb survived for as long as she did merely demonstrates the perversity of the voting public. In the first six or seven weeks of ‘X Factor,’ meanwhile, we’ve had the usual conglomerate of talent, rubbish and insanity but fortunately Simon Cowell and company are eventually able to separate most of the wheat from the chaff. That Wagner Carrilho lasted more than two weeks, however, shows that even they can’t control the aforementioned perverse voting. The real contradiction in the series, though, is that while we all appreciate Simon’s ability to convert seemingly ordinary performers into international stars we can never be totally convinced that his patronage to any particular performer has more to do with increasing his own already considerable fortune than with promoting the potential in the artiste. The last – and certainly the most
controversial of the three – is ‘The Apprentice.’ Having selected the apparent ‘cream’ from the many thousands of applicants the programme and the £100,000 a year ‘apprenticeship’ on offer attracts, we are left to wonder how bad the people who didn’t make it must have been. The common denominator amongst most of the super egos that make up the contestant list is a fascinating combination of arrogance and incompetence. Statements like ‘You do the work and I lead’ have already led to the demise of the toffee nosed Dan Harris whose management ethic was described by Alan Sugar’s aide and football guru Karren Brady as ‘standing around shouting orders.’ And how Laura Moore survived the fact that she turned down an offer of exclusivity with Boots is beyond most of us. Despite all that though, all three are programmes that – once you become involved – are impossible to ignore. And for those among you who like a flutter, an each way treble on Stella English (the Apprentice), Matt Cardle (X Factor) and Pamela Stephenson (Strictly) might just make you a bit of dosh. Don’t say you weren’t told!”

Gems from ‘Only Fools.’
Website www.local-answer.co.uk
Without doubt the most successful and well loved comedy series of the last twenty years was ‘Only Fools and Horses’ and while we are still able to catch it on some of the Sky channels it is well worth remembering some of the absolute gems that the programme – through writer John Sullivan – gave the world. See how many of these you remember! At Trigger’s grandmother’s funeral Del ordered a large whiskey only for Rodney to announce that this was the wrong time to be ‘shanting it up.’ In his defence Del turned to Trigger and asked him what his gran would have thought if they all just stood round moping. ‘She’d have loved it,’ said Trigger. ‘She was a miserable old cow.’ Grandad was warning Del about the perils of being involved in a heavy card school. ‘I was in one once where the cards were marked and I lost a fortune,’ he said. ‘Didn’t you know they were marked, Grandad?’ asked Del. ‘Oh yes,’ said Grandad, ‘I marked them, but I wasn’t very good at cards.’ Rodney came down to breakfast in a miserable mood and Albert told him to cheer up because life wasn’t that bad. ‘Not that bad,’ says Rodney, ‘believe me Albert, if there was such a thing as reincarnation with my bloody luck I’d come back as myself.’ Del, bemoaning his lot in life, said ‘I deserve a bit of the good life after all my hard work but what do I get? I live half a mile up in the sky in this council built Lego set, I run a three wheel van with a bald tyre and I drink in a wine bar where the only thing with a vintage is the governor’s wife.’
Friday night. ‘Was it reported?’ asked Rodney. ‘Yes,’ said Del, I bumped into the victim on Wednesday morning after she’d been to the police station to report it. ‘Hang on,’ said Rodney. ‘The assault took place on Friday night, how come it took her until Wednesday to report it?’ ‘Because,’ said Del, ‘she didn’t know she’d been indecently assaulted until the bloke’s cheque bounced.’ Rodney’s assessment of his life: ‘I am 24 years old with two GCEs, 13 years of schooling and three terms at an adult education centre behind me and what have I become? I’m a lookout.’ Del criticises Rodney because he wants to clean out the garage and get rid of the rubbish they’ve accumulated. ‘Del,’ said Rodney, ‘we have a load of old Showaddywaddy LPs under an old Triumph Herald tyre and an artificial limb. They’re not going to make headlines on the Antiques Roadshow.’ ‘Those LPs are collector’s items,’ said Del. ‘In that case,’ said Rodney, ‘let’s find a one legged Showaddywaddy freak and flog ‘em to him. And if he turns up to collect them in a Triumph Herald we’ve had a result!’
Crime is rife on the Trotter’s estate and Del was telling Rodney about an indecent assault that had happened on For information about the Local Answer visit www.local-answer.co.uk

Puns for those with a higher i.Q. – That’s you, of course!
We have frequently demonstrated how fascinating the English language can be and we make no apologies for once again highlighting that concept with the following series of puns that can only be described as intelligent humour. We hope you enjoy them! • Those who jump off a bridge in Paris are in Seine. • A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking. • Dijon vu - the same mustard as before. • Practice safe eating - always use condiments. • Shotgun wedding - A case of wife or death. • A man needs a mistress just to break the monogamy. • A hangover is the wrath of grapes. • Dancing cheek-to-cheek is really a form of floor play. • Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? • Condoms should be used on every conceivable occasion. • Reading while sunbathing makes you well red. • A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two tired. • What's the definition of a will? (It's a dead giveaway.) • Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. • In democracy your vote counts. In feudalism your count votes. • A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion. • If you don't pay your exorcist, you get repossessed • With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress. • The man who fell into an upholstery machine is fully recovered. • You feel stuck with your debt if you can't budge it. • Every calendar's days are numbered. • A lot of money is tainted – ‘Taint yours and ‘taint mine. • A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat. • He had a photographic memory that was never developed. • A midget fortune-teller who escapes from prison is a small medium at large. • Once you've seen one shopping centre, you've seen a mall. • Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead-to-know basis. • Acupuncture - a jab well done.

The medical lecturer was addressing some students on the X-ray he had on the screen. ‘Now, Jones, it is obvious from this X-ray that this man had one leg shorter than the other and therefore limped badly. What would you do in a case like this?’ ‘I’d probably limp as well sir.’ An old tramp approached a man in the street and said ‘Excuse me sir, but would you give me fifty pence for a sandwich?’ ‘I don’t know,’ replied the man, ‘I’d have to see it first.’ For information about the Local Answer visit www.local-answer.co.uk

Make the most of your chicken.
It’s amazing that in an age where constant research and modern technology are frequently used to promote healthy eating, the old and trusted methods that served our parents and grandparents well for so long seem to have been discarded without trace. And since details of the current cost cutting by the government have been released feeding a family on something of a budget has also become more important. In which case we have decided to examine both the wonderful value and the exceptional nutrients a chicken can provide, These days a frozen chicken big enough to feed a family of six can be purchased for around four pounds. Cooked with plenty of vegetables and home made Yorkshire puddings (a combination that will add a mere couple of pounds) it will provide a nutritional and filling meal for around a pound each. To some, though, that would be the end and the remnants of the meal would be discarded. What a real shame! The chicken carcass and the remaining meat (wings, legs, underside etc) are in themselves a source of additional nutrition and are sufficient to create another full meal for the family. Chicken stew or broth is a delicious way to use up the leftovers and in the forthcoming winter months can make a really warming and filling meal. Here’s how. You will need: the carcass and remaining meat ; 3 large potatoes; 2 carrots; 2 sticks of celery; a cupful of garden peas; a parsnip; 1 leek; 1 large onion; a chicken stock cube; salt and pepper to taste. Take all the remaining meat from the bones and carcass and put to one side. Place the bones and carcass in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat and simmer for around thirty minutes to create a chicken stock. Pass the stock through a sieve into a different pan and discard the bones. Cut the vegetables into medium sized pieces and add to the stock with a chicken stock cube. Again bring to the boil then simmer gently until the vegetables are cooked. Cut the chicken into pieces, add to the stock and continue to cook for a further five minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with chunky bread. Absolutely delicious and a perfect winter warmer!

It just had to be a Yorkshireman! We aren’t really sure why but to the outside world the general conception of a Yorkshireman is that he’s a dour humourless type who won’t part with his brass unless it’s really necessary. Those of us who know better realize that the main problem is that most people outside the county don’t really understand the accent or they would realize there is an awful lot of humour within the ridings. To demonstrate that fact we’ve put together a few stories that certainly made us laugh. They are, of course, best enjoyed when read in a broad Yorkshire accent! A Yorkshire couple are playing 'I spy' in the kitchen of their home. 'I spy with my little eye something beginning with T' said the husband. "Tea pot said the wife." 'Nay Lass!' "Tea towel." 'Nay Lass!' "Toaster." 'Nay Lass!' he said, drumming his fingers on the work top. "Oh I don't know" she said at long last "I give in" 'It's easy' he said. 'It's t'oven!' A Yorkshireman takes his cat to the vet. When it was his turn he says to the vet ‘I need to talk to thee about me cat.’ The vet said ‘is it a tom.’ The yorkshireman replied ‘nay lad, a’ve browt it wi’ me.’ A Yorkshire man’s dog dies and he decides to have a gold statue made by a jeweler to remember it by. He walked into the jeweller’s with a picture of his pet and said ‘can tha mek us a gold statue of yon dog?’ ‘Does tha want it 18 carat?’ asked the jeweler. ‘Nay yer daft bugger, I want it chewin a bone!’ A Yorkshire man's wife dies and the widower decides that her headstone should have the words "she were thine" engraved on it. He calls the stone mason, who assures him that the headstone will be
ready a few days after the funeral. True to his word the stone mason calls the widower to say that the headstone is ready and would he like to come and have a look. When the widower gets there he takes one look at the stone to see that it's been engraved "she were thin". He explodes – bloody 'ell man, you've left the flamin’ "e" out. The stone mason apologised and assured the poor widower that it would be rectified the following morning. Next day comes and the widower returns to the stone mason - "There you go sir, I've put the "e" on the stone for you". The widower looks at the stone and then reads out aloud - "E, she were thin". Driving to work a Yorkshireman noticed an RAC patrolman sitting in his van sobbing uncontrollably. ‘Ey up,’ he thought. ‘That poor sod’s heading for a breakdown.’ A couple of cockneys are about to open a store in Leeds and are working on the décor. ‘I’ll tell you what,’ said the first. Any minute now some daft Yorkshireman is going to come in here and ask what we’re selling and I’m going to have some fun with him.’ Sure enough, Fred wanders in off the street and says ‘Hey up lads, what’s tha selling?’ The cockney grinned and said ‘we’re selling pillocks.’ ‘Tha’s doin’ well then,’ says Fred. ‘Only two left!’ A Yorkshireman was about to go on holiday so his mate says ‘Ee Fred, can tha bring me some fags back – 200 Benson & Hedges?’ ‘Aye’ said Fred. Two weeks later he comes back, meets his friend in the pub and says ‘I’ve got thee fags, Tha owes me £74-50.’ ‘Bloody hell, ‘says his mate. ‘Where did tha go for thee ‘olidays?’ ‘ Scarborough,’ says Fred.

The hazards of car parking We recently became acquainted with a delightful little book called ‘The Grumpy Drivers ’ Handbook’ by someone with the appropriate pseudonym ‘Ivor Grump.’ One of the chapters deals with parking the car and since it covers most of everyone’s pet hates we thought we would share some of them with you. Parking Charges It’s easy to see why internet sales are growing when the cost of 3 hour parking in the city centre could feed a family of four for a week. For while prices elsewhere have nose-dived car parks don’t have sales and you still have to pay the full amount at all times. If you want to shop for an hour and ten minutes you have to pay for two hours because unscrupulous operators have arranged time increments so you always have to pay for more than you need. Fussy Parkers There are a small number of motorists who believe that parking the car is a dressage event. Their main objective is to get the car perfectly positioned between the two white parking lines with equal space each side and perfectly parallel. They believe in the power of feng shui and all the chi energy that flows from flawless alignment. They will therefore manoeuvre backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards until that is accomplished – even if it’s just for two minutes while they nip for a newspaper. Approximate Parkers They are even worse as they don’t care where they park the car as long as it’s stopped and the handbrake is on. Reversing into a space between two vehicles is a pain so as long as it’s three quarters of the way in that’ll do. They’ll be gone in an hour so what does it matter? They are also afraid of the kerb and anything to their left so you could probably have a decent game of football in the gap they leave between car and pavement.

Drive Encroachers An Englishman’s home is his castle and I’m not a curtain twitcher who looks outside every time someone parks near the house but it’s the selfishness of those people who don’t look for a proper sized space that annoys me. When some unthinking bxxxxxd parks close enough to the line of exit from your own drive to make it hazardous they are asking for their bumper of front wing to be hacked off by the driveway vigilantes. ‘I’m just picking something up mate, I’ll only be two minutes.’ Yeah, right! Sundry Parkers There are those who park so close to you that you can’t stand between your boot and their bonnet without losing the blood supply to your legs. There are also the ones who block small roads because a car parked innocently in a narrow lane attracts other cars like a wasp to a jam pot. It’s sadly always the innocent one who gets his wing mirror ripped off. The biggest culprits however are the space stealers. You go past a space with the intention of reversing into it – the proper method! And while people can see that you’ve stopped and are indicating there will still be some clever dick who nicks in behind. If someone does this to you I recommend you use their front bumper as a kind of step, really testing it out to make sure it’s solid. Go on, really test it! Multi Story Car Parks Your heart never lifts when you’re entering a multi story, does it? They are apparently popular spots for suicides and can you wonder for being in one doesn’t make you want to cling on to this world for much longer. Unless you’re a big fan of Tate Modern, in which case you might be enthralled by the formal and monolithic brutalism of the concrete structure. Why a multi story hasn’t won the Turner Prize is beyond me. They also have a danger about them because the second the hero of any film is striding towards his car in a dimly lit multi story you know something dreadful is about to happen!

Thanks Folks Last month we launched your edition of the Local Answer into the Billingham, Norton, Wolviston & Wynyard area’s. The response to issue one from readers and advertisers has been most encouraging. Like our readers and advertisers in the other area’s in which the local answer is distributed you seem to have been very happy to receive our easy to use, handy to keep local directory and have used it to it’s full advantage. We understand the benefits of keeping you well informed about what your local retailers, tradesmen and service providers have to offer and we hope you will continue to use the local answer in the coming month’s to locate a service nearby. Many, many advertisers have already enjoyed excellent results for what can only be termed a modest outlay. For different reasons they have used ‘Local Answer’ to spread their message to the people of Redcar, East Cleveland & Stockton and they frequently tell us that results show what a good decision that was! The reasons, we feel, are simple. ‘The Local Answer’ is convenient, easy to keep and sits unobtrusively in a handy drawer or even next to the telephone without being the eyesore that a crumpled free sheet quickly becomes. It also has a long shelf life and one of the most rewarding feedbacks we have enjoyed to date is that advertisers claim they still get response weeks after their adverts initially appear. And that is the whole point. Not everyone is in a position to respond to an advert the second they see it but because ‘The Local Answer’ is so easy to keep they are still able to refer to it when the appropriate time arrives. For more information on ‘The Local Answer’ and our other services please visit at www.local-answer.co.uk where you can read all our other publications online for FREE.

A month is a long time in football Last month’s ‘Boro piece read ‘Have we turned the corner?’ and it’s obvious we’ve discovered the sad answer to that question even more quickly than most ‘Boro fans would have expected. The reality is that we have progressively worsened over the last month. We are all aware that if there is to be any interest for ‘Boro fans this season it’s going to be in the shape of a relegation battle. After a disastrous twelve months Gordon Strachan finally did the decent thing and in a moment of pure integrity tore up his contract while offering his resignation. That other outgoing managers have not done the same after underperforming in similarly dreadful fashion is a sad reflection on their integrity. It also opens the argument that all managerial contracts should include pre-designated success standards that have to be met before any
Steve Mclaren consistently pilloried. compensation is paid on the termination of a contract. It is wholly appropriate at this point to congratulate Gordon Strachan on not only doing the right thing but doing it in a manner that showed both enormous dignity and a lack of the greed that has contributed to football being in its current perilous position. Boro supporters nurse a complete misconception about where we should really be in the football hierarchy. Let’s be honest, what Steve Mclaren achieved was nothing short of breathtaking yet he was consistently pilloried.
Coffee break humour
A new director went to his first board meeting. At the end of the table was a man who, whenever a tough problem came up would say things like ‘Well, it never rains but it pours,’ or ‘It’s a long road that has no turning,’ or ‘if life gives you lemons, then make lemonade.’ ‘Exactly what does that man do’ the new director asked a colleague after the meeting. ‘He gives us our spirit of unity,’ was the reply. ‘We’d all like to strangle him!’ For information about the Local Answer visit www.local-answer.co.uk
