Never had you down as a whippet and flat cap type Wickers.

Ask your mate .... I be a bumpkin I be and I can't read and I can't write but I can drive a tractor :wink:

But I did used to have a flat cap and I do love whippets 8)

The blokes a cockney I tells ya

Don't get me started on stereotypes! Just for the record I do not have a flat cap, own a whippet or talk with a funny accent! I am admitting nothing! I can do Castleford or Chill Factore and everybody is welcome- southerners and northerners! Just bear in mind that I am not the best skier- but what I lack in ability I more than make up with my enthusiasm! Bit scary really! This is only feasible if a few of us are game. Or I will just be Jimmy No Mates skiing by myself!

Trust me it's not the easiest thing in the world to organise and try and get people to agree to a set day, we will just have to see how many turn up on the 22nd :lol:

Im in if beer is involved and if jam butties are on the list Im defo up for it! Jams arite treat for us Tup North.

Weve moved on from flat caps and whippets now its trackies tucked into white socks and blue wkd. A Bull dog is always a plus and lets people know ya ard. :-)

Ive got 2 cats though so im not ard :shock:

I am sure alcohol can be involved! Not too sure about the jam butties though! If enough people fancy it we then can start thinking when would suit most of us. I only work part time so it is quite easy for me to arrange something either during the week or even at the weekend but I am guessing it will get busy then. Don't like people getting in my way when I am doing my parallel turns!

Has anybody been to both Castleford and Chill Factore and which did you prefer? I have been to Castleford a couple of times and wasn't overly impressed. Felt like skiing in a fridge and I was freezing! Have felt much warmer skiing in heavy blizzards. Also the lift attendant was very rude and was in danger of having a nasty accident with my ski pole!

I also have a cat so I am not that hard either! Sssshhh! Don't tell anyone!
