ENTERTAINING READERS & WORKING HARD FOR OUR ADVERTISERS

Welcome

W

hether the weather is too hot or too cold, us Brits just love complaining about it. So much so, in fact, that we spend a total of four months moaning about the elements during our lives. The Daily Mail reported last year that the average Brit whinges about the climate four times a day, for a total of eight minutes and 21 seconds.

We’re cynics, we hate happiness. So, the fact we are all delighted that summer is on its way, means we are all going to moan about the same things we moaned about last year. For instance - day one of sunshine: Perfect. The sun’s beating down and everybody is happy.

Day two of sunshine: Two whole days of sun!

Unbelievable. Day three of sunshine: It’s getting ridiculous. It’s far too hot.

Just because the temperature has reached a balmy 14˚c, we are now subject to a mass of wobbling, milky white British flesh on show in town.

And why do people walk so slowly when it’s hot. I’m talking about people walking, three abreast, down the street, slowly, with no final destination in mind. If you did this in New York, you’d would be arrested. It’s unacceptable behaviour.

And let’s face it - none of us know how to dress for hot weather - but there is never a need to leave your house wearing a visor, three-quarter length linen shorts, and bad sandals (Don’t even get me started on flip flops).

So I guess we are not really set up in this country for hot weather. Everyone agrees that we’re useless at snow, perhaps it’s just that we feel we should be better at the other end of the scale. But with frustrated motorists seething in traffic queues, people tutting on buses and summer riots all point to an undercurrent of heat-based irritation. Maybe not then.

We have a great prize this issue thanks to our friends at Holker Hall, who have two pairs of tickets up for grabs to their Garden Event, so make sure to get your entry in. Bear has gone walkabout again, so there is £25 cash reward for his safe return.

Congratulations to Mrs Wilson from Armathwaite who entered our Crossword Competition and won Afternoon Tea for Two courtesy of the Crown Hotel, and well done to little Ruby, who found Bear in Dalston.

WETHERAL BUSES

hose wanting to get to Carlisle in the 19th century either walked, or if they could afford it, caught a train. It was not until 2 July 1921 that Richard Percival of Carlisle introduced a bus service to Wetheral. He started a service from Brampton to Carlisle via Warwick Bridge, Wetheral and Cumwhinton, but in less than a year the diversion via Wetheral was abandoned, as there was sufficient traffic on the direct route and the railway service between Wetheral and Carlisle was more than adequate. However, he did operate excursions to Wetheral on a regular basis on Sundays at 6d (2.5p) each way. These continued throughout the 1920s with other proprietors joining in this lucrative trade.

Next was J J Wallis from 4 August 1923. He used three Albion buses to run an hourly service and from 21 April 1924 every half hour and on Sundays. He died in 1925 and his widow continued running the successful company. Then in June 1928 Alfred Fidler started a service from Market Street, Carlisle to Wetheral against Wallis, using a second hand 25-seater Leyland Lioness SM 5944. Mrs Wallis soon found the stress of competition too much and

sold to Emmerson & Co in 1929 (who were owned by the railway).

From 1931 United also ran in opposition to Wetheral (having taken over Emmersons) until they acquired Fidlers in 1934. United then had a monopoly and continued until their services at Carlisle were transferred to Ribble on 5 January 1969.

No changes were made when Cumberland Motor Services took over on 22 February 1986, but this was short-lived because Stagecoach Holdings Ltd purchased the company on 23 July 1987 and only the livery differed.

In providing the information above David Grisenthwaite ended by saying that on the present bus, “patronage is limited, but at least a link with the past survives.”

DRESS UP YOUR DOORS M

AND Give “Any Old Iron” for Charity

ore Handles, Carlisle Brass and Village Link, in conjunction with Carlisle Ambassadors, have launched a new campaign to smarten up Carlisle’s front doors. A special Not-For-Profit scheme has been set up jointly by More Handles and Carlisle Brass giving home owners in Carlisle the opportunity to update their front door furniture at a much reduced cost. More Handles are also aiming to raise a significant sum for charity by giving residents a central point for recycling old metal, which will be “cashed in” at Mountelm Scrap Merchants at the end of May and the sum donated to CFM charity Cash for Kids.

Local businesses are also being encouraged to donate their scrap. Story Homes, The Halston and Top Notch Contractors are setting an example by committing their metal during this month, and encourage others to do the same to

A ‘Front Door Package’ consisting of a high quality Lever Door Handle, Door Knocker and Letterplate have been made available at the reduced price of £19.99 inc VAT (RRP over £50)

make a real difference to this excellent local charity. Sara Oldham of Cash for Kids said “it is exciting that the Carlisle Ambassadors are already proving to be a catalyst for improving the city, and it is fantastic that the first project involves More Handles and Carlisle Brass raising money for Cash for Kids at the same time.”

Customers can call and collect the ‘Front Door Package’ from More Handles at Kingstown by quoting the Carlisle Ambassadors Best Dressed Front Doors Campaign. They can also bring “any old iron” in towards the pile that will be converted into Cash for Kids!

If you can help to promote this excellent scheme, or have metal to contribute please get in touch with mike@morehandles.co.uk

FOOD

HALF BEAUTY TREATMENTS

PRICE Spaghetti Bolognaise Mouth-watering inspiration from food editor Jane Ferguson

ow times have changed.

Take for instance spaghetti bolognaise which is a staple of most households these days. But back in the day it was not a widely eaten food in the UK. I am really going to show my age now because the first time I had spaghetti bolognaise I was about 14 years old. I had been invited to a friend’s house and her mum had made it for tea. I remember feeling as though I had had something really exotic.

Late in the 1950’s (which, by the way, was before I was born; just!!) there was a hoax Panorama programme aired on April 1st.

It was narrated by Richard Dimbleby and it showed a family in Switzerland carrying out the yearly spaghetti harvest. The programme showed a group of young women carefully plucking strands of spaghetti from a tree and laying them out in the sun to dry. Richard Dimbleby also explained how each strand grew exactly the same length due to years of hard work by the generations of growers.

Apparently some viewers failed to see the funny side stating that the Panorama programme was supposed to be a factual programme, while other viewers were so intrigued that they wanted to find out where they could purchase a spaghetti bush. Seems ridiculous now but I wonder how many people over the age of 60 reading this magazine wondered where they could buy a spaghetti bush in the late 1950’s!!

A pregnant woman from Oklahoma gets in a car accident and falls into a coma. When she wakes up, she sees she’s no longer pregnant and she asks the doctor about her baby. The doctor replies, “Ma’am you’ve had twins! a boy and a girl. Your brother from Arkansas came in and named them.” The woman thinks to herself, “No, not my brother... he’s an idiot!” She asks him, “Well, what’s the girl’s name?” “Denise.” “Wow, that’s not a bad name, I like it! What’s the boy’s name?” “Denephew.”

Common sense is like deodorant.

The people who need it most never use it.

Have you ever noticed, however, that spaghetti bolognaise here in the UK is so different to the spaghetti bolognaise you get in Italy. I once saw an Italian chef show how he made spaghetti bolognaise and I found it fascinating. Basically he only used three ingredients, equal portions of pork mince and veal mince and fresh tomatoes. There was no garlic or herbs just seasoning.

He then let this cook slowly for 4 hours and that was it. I have tried this a few times, however, I used good beef mince instead of veal, and it is really good.

Serve it with spaghetti (of course), a grating of parmesan, some garlic bread and a glass of red wine.

What could be simpler and yet so authentic.

When is the best time to plant a tree?

ONE SIMPLE ANSWER

YESTERDAY local arborist Andrew Edgar, from orchard tree surgery and landscape services, shares his experience to help save our trees

T

rees are essential to life as we know it and are the ground troops making up an environmental frontline. Our existing forests and the trees we plant work in tandem to make a better world. Here are just a few of the main ways in which they do just that.

Trees Produce Oxygen Let’s face it, we could not exist as we do if there were no trees.

A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don’t realise is the forest also acts as a giant filter that cleans the air we breath.

Trees Clean the Air Trees help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Trees remove this air pollution by lowering air temperature, through respiration, and by retaining particulates.

Trees Clean the Soil The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the

soil. Trees can either store harmful pollutants or actually change the pollutant into less harmful forms.

Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and clean water runoff into streams.

Trees Control Noise Pollution Trees muffle urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a housing estate or around your house, can abate major noises from roads and airports.

So you could say trees are a pretty important part of the world we live in! So lets look after them, maintain them and give them the best possible chance to allow them to do their job – making our world a habitable one!

t’s at this time of year that we start to look ahead to the Summer and hopefully help your dreams of sunny beaches come true. There are some fantastic deals to be had by booking through Dawson and Sanderson and we can guarantee some of the best prices around by booking early.

It’s fair to say that 2015 has got off to a fabulous start, January and February were bumper months for us as we recorded the highest sales since our opening in Carlisle way back in 1985! With bookings up, cheaper destinations, a tumbling euro and Air Passenger Duty down - there’s never been a better time to book your Summer holiday.

If you want to be at the heart of the action on Benidorm’s main strip, then you can’t beat the Hotel Orange. The Magic Aqua Rock Gardens or the Sol Pelicanos, where the TV series ‘Benidorm’ is filmed, are great for families.

While an all inclusive booking at the Hotel Palm Beach, includes unlimited entrance to Mundomar, Aqualandia and Terra Mitica if booked through Jet2 Holidays.

(May-October 2015) For self catering accommodation the Levante Club Apartments are a great choice.

Levante Beach is an award winning location from where you can take a glass bottom boat trip to check out the wildlife above and below the waves at the beautiful Peacock Island. Benidorm comes alive at night with hundreds of cabaret

HEALTH

A LESSON TO

LEARN

I

Written by Champion Cyclist and Pilates Instructor, Carol Westmorland

feel duty bound to share this hypothermic experience with you. You are going to join me in last Sunday’s 50 mile time trial ‘The Circuit of the Dales’. The Course. Start Ingleton through Burton in Lonsdale to Greta Bridge, onto main Sedbergh Rd through Casterton onto main Hawes Rd (370ft). Through Sedbergh through Garsdale to the Moorcock Inn (802ft). Over Yore Bridge through Appersett to the top end of Hawes village (802ft).

Onto Ingleton Rd via Newby Head (1421ft) and Ribblehead (980ft) to FINISH Ingleton village (803ft). In total there is about 3300 feet of climbing.

Nothing, I repeat nothing, matters less than what you look like “There was constant rain, flooded roads, gale force winds, single figure temperatures, the toughest conditions I’ve ever known riding in let alone racing,” Holton (the winner) said. I had reluctantly kept a vest on underneath my skin suit. It was a rather fetching white string affair by Castelli but even so I felt a bit of a wimp. I had my ‘winter’ skin suit (which means it has sleeves). Looking at the weather I thought it prudent to slip my iPhone into the neat back pocket. My Castelli gilet is for ‘foul weather racing’. I looked around again and thought well this is ‘foul weather racing’ I am keeping it on. I now felt well and truly covered and pedestrian. I wore three thin pairs of finger gloves with grips the inner glove being water proof (!?!) No such thing. I had never in all my years of time trialling resorted to this.

My Garmin froze. Not you too I thought.

Feeling alone I concentrated on the road ahead and tried to push aside the reality. I was actually having to move my hands and watch wear I placed them. I was fast becoming disorientated and far from any help. I had to stop. Through gritted teeth I pulled my gloves away but my hands were too cold to be of use. I could not undue my zip pocket and reach my ‘phone. Try as I might I could not feel a thing.

Becoming desperate I peeled away my skin suit.

By now I was shaking so violently I could barely stand and unable to think.

Clearly I survived. The Paramedics, of which there were many, explained that shaking and grumbling is a good sign. Should the shaking stop and you become unresponsive and look – ahem, dead then the chances are you are!

The lesson I wish to share.

Nothing, I repeat nothing matters less than what you look like.

CYCLING

A more efficient

pedal system CYCLING TIPS AND ADVICE FROM SPORT EDITOR GARY DICKSON

B

efore clipless pedals existed riders used to fit “toe clips” to their traditional platform pedals.

Although called clips they were really a cage that kept the foot in place. So, when an actual clip system was invented that clips shoe to pedal what would it get called?

Clipless! Why? Because pedals would no longer have toe clips fitted! How daft and confusing is that?

After that mystery busting start to this article why would anyone want to be locked to their bike?

When using platform pedals the only section of the rotation where you can apply pressure is the down stroke. The only thing that keeps your feet on the pedals is pressure.

That means on the upstroke you are actually using a small amount of pressure to prevent your foot parting company with the pedal.

With clipless pedals your efficiency is vastly increased. Compared to a pedal where your foot can move all over the place, clipless pedals hold your foot in the optimal position all

the time. Not only can you apply downward pressure, you can pull upwards too, adding additional propulsion.

For those that have never experienced using clipless pedals there is a certain fear that comes with not fully understanding how they work.

However bear in mind that once the clipless gap has been bridged virtually no one goes back to traditional pedals.

If you are new to biking first get comfortable and confident before switching to clipless.

Once you are ready don’t hold back. Pick some soft ground to practice on.

It’s not nearly as scary as you think. Everyone tips over and falls at least once when learning, but don’t worry it’s your ego that is most likely to get hurt. These pedals won’t feel alien for long and the difference they make to your riding will be gigantic.

The divorce court judge said to the husband, “Mr Geraghty, I have reviewed this case very carefully and I have decided to award your wife £800 per week.”

“That’s very fair your honour”, replied the husband, “And every now and then I’ll try to send her a few quid myself.”

STEP OUT of theNow I

f you work within an organisation, own a business or even just sell items on eBay in your spare time, have you ever taken the time to consider from a customer’s viewpoint why they should buy your product or service? Being competitive on price is one reason but unless you can compete with the big boys, this tends not to be sustainable. Amazon for instance have only obtained an average of 0.75% profit over the last 5 years, (ycharts.com). So don’t compete on price, workout what you could do differently.

The first step is taking time out of your busy schedule to look at your business from the outside in.

The two key points to determine is defining the market you are in and understanding why customers will buy from you rather than your competition.

Researching your competitors and other industries is a good starting point. Black & Decker have 50% of the American consumer power tool market. They realised

that their potential customers really just need a hole in the wall to hang a picture or to mount a shelf easily and safely and the purchase of a cordless drill is just a by-product to achieve this task. Therefore Black & Decker don’t promote the products as such on their front page of their website but why you should buy their products “save time and effort and take the guesswork out of DIY”. They are promoting confidence, precision and first time success through use of their power tools.

Over 50% of established business failures are due to losing touch with the market place and customer base.

Traditional not everyone wants a send off

When John Lennon was killed, Yoko Ono wanted no focus on his bullet-ridden corpse.

She had it cremated unceremoniously, unwitnessed. She held a memorial ceremony instead, to take place “everywhere and anywhere. Pray for his soul from wherever you are,” she said.

And people did. Presumably this is what John wanted too.

Direct cremation and direct burial are for 1. People who, in line with their beliefs and values, do not feel they need to have a formal, public, ceremonial funeral at which the body of the person who has died is present.

Most people who opt for direct cremation or direct burial could easily afford a traditional funeral but they choose not to.

Increasing numbers of people are turning to direct cremation or direct burial as alternatives to a conventional funeral What happens?

You don’t go to visit the person who has died in the funeral home. You do not choose the day and time of the cremation/burial. There is no hearse, no procession, no service in the crematorium or at the graveside nothing. The body goes straight off to be cremated or buried without ceremony and without anyone else there.
