A while later I saw a pilot programme of a show called "Bob the Builder", and said "Hey, that's exactly the kind of thing I meant. I bet it'll be really popular if they make a whole series". I believe they did.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-60238969909409226682008-10-20T03:33:00.000-04:002008-10-20T03:33:00.000-04:00Dottorel - parking in London is a horror story all...Dottorel - parking in London is a horror story all of its own. I think we have been a bit spoilt here, as our road is fairly quiet, but recently it has become harder and harder to find a space near the house...<BR/><BR/>Expat Mum - I hope so. Actually, it hasn't gone off yet, but I am fully expecting it to happen just when the water is crucial eg at Littleboys' bath time.<BR/><BR/>Mom/Mum and Iota - yes, it does make them happy. (Maybe there should be a new kids' series - Todd the Trench Man?)<BR/><BR/>NMOO - no, I haven't been subjected to that, they usually seem to be wearing long yellow jackets. Not that I'd be looking, mind!nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-53719384834382901842008-10-19T09:41:00.000-04:002008-10-19T09:41:00.000-04:00Are you getting the bum cleavage we got last year ...Are you getting the bum cleavage we got last year when they dug up our road.
