Salt of the Earth.
We tell a joke that as you pass the sign saying "Welcome to Lincolnshire" there should be another saying "Welcome to the 1950s" ;)

Like any place it has its problems, but it's lovely to say that there is still a solid feeling of "poor but honest" here. We still have cafes with a huge £5 fry up (bread and butter plus pot of tea included), waitress service, in pinnies with melamine tables. We still have proper markets too!
Same here in Porkpie land.

Given developments, we decided that coal is probably more important than savings :oops:

Or as I always say,” it doesn’t eat anything’ , ( easier to understand than my local dialect! :lol: )

Ordered a load of wood today from an alternative supplier to supplement what we get for free including the cherry tree we cut down a few weeks ago which is happily seasoning in the garden and wont be ready for this winter. One of our stoves is multi fuel, the other just a wood burner and with the price of oil remaining high want to ensure that we have enough solid fuel for next winter. Currently in conversation with husband who isn't agreeing with my need for coal so will likely order some anyway, he will thank me in winter.
