NATIONAL RECOGNITION!!!!

A write up in The Guardian (June 30 2009) under the title

HEATWAVE SURVIVAL GUIDE listed 8 "must visit" beach cafes stretching from Cornwall to North Yorkshire.

No surprise that STROLLERS was on this list!

Quintessentially English, you stroll into Babs and Rosie's cafe for a pot of tea, and their welcome has you staying all day or renting a chalet for the week. The beach is broad, there are jokes and fnar and fnar one liners printed on the menu and painted on the walls and fresh crab or egg mayo sandwiches to eat. A local treasure.

Glad I get a mention! ^

PIRATES AT STROLLERS!!!

Two Somali pirates, one wearing a very convincing John Cook mask, came ashore at Strollers on Sunday 28 June, Babs and Rosie were invited on board and unwittingly accepted the invitation. No sooner had they arrived on board than we received a 'phone call demanding 10 crab baguettes for their safe return. Lyn was left with no choice and the exchange was made and Babs and Rosie were, thankfully, safely returned. Whilst on board they were forced to drink a few glasses of Pimm's.

Shanklin Evergreens Cricket team ~THEN and NOW.

Here we have a rare photograph of the Shanklin Evergreens team from 50 years ago.

Geoff Read has nodded off (seated left), Glenn Morley (standing 2nd from rt end) with his best bat, Ralph Abbott (4th from left standing) watching the girls' netball practice and Colin Nigh (2nd left standing) already tucking into a doughnut. Bob Freer (3rd from left standing) still fits into that striped shirt which was, I believe, very fashionable at the time.

Let me introduce you to the Shanklin Evergreens cricket team 2009.
Left to right:

Bob Freer. A regular bowler, often leaves the batsmen in two minds with his slow bowling, "Should I hit a six or a four?"

Scott Lee or Lee Scott. (Depends which end he's bowling from) A regular bowler and bats number 11 ("Eleven's too high for you", quote from the skipper), the team's overseas player, commutes from New Zealand every match.

Carl Prean. Find him in YELLOW PAGES "Rent-a-batsman", you need 60 runs ~ then Carl's the man for you. Apparently, not bad at table tennis. Starts his innings slowly and then gently peters out*.

Colin (Thendizz) Nigh. Often opens the batting and packets of biscuits, never runs two ("I've seen milk turn quicker" quote from the skipper.) *"Who is the Peter who is out?"

Colin must have some Irish blood running through his veins, when fielding, he occasionally does a "Michael Flatley" before the ball arrives.

Geoff Read. The man behind the moustache, slow bowler and the batsman to call on in an emergency ~ the man to deliver ~ is ex-postman Geoff (he was given the sack). The only cricketer I've met to take an ashtray out with him when fielding. Sponsored by "BENSON & 'EDGES"

Glenn Morley. Acting skipper when John Dear, Andy Morris, Sam Read, Roger Merry and Ralph Abbott are unavailable. Good chap ~ lends me his spare bat. Well known in the field of landscape gardening and the one behind the gas works.

Steve Palmer. New to the EverGREENS this season, his wife (she of the scones/cream and strawberries) is thankful to the EverGREENS for keeping him out of the house every Thursday.

Steve has a new camera.

Skipper asked Steve if he fancied a bowl ~ "If they need 37 to win from the last over, I'll bowl that" he replied.

Brian Carter. World's best umpire (until he gives me out LBW). Claim to fame "I know Dickie Bird" The team is grateful to BC for umpiring every week. Fairly pleasant for a northerner.

Great fan of Last of the Summer Wine.

Matt Lambourne. No relation. Just 19867 more runs and he'll join Pete Lambourne (no relation either) on the club's honours' board. Always wears a smart jumper, and his mum keeps his trousers nice and clean. Promises to buy the team a round on his 18th birthday.

Dave Griffiths. It took team members some while to come up with a nick-name for Dave, so Griff it is. An all rounder - can mis-field in any position. Great fan of any wine. Quote from Dave (oops! sorry) Griff. "I'm pushing 65 - that's enough exercise for me"

John Grace .Young Mister Grace patrols the mid wicket area for the team, eyes like a hawk (two) and the speed of a gazelle (dying), he has earned the nickname SWOOPERMAN ~ no opposing batsman would dare risk a single to our amazing Grace. Rumoured to be the great great grandson of W G Grace.

Bertie McHugh Renta Wicket-Keeper (Yellow pages) can be relied on to fill the keeper's gloves (with his hands) in an emergency. Well known in concentric circles.

Mark Nightingale Accomplished umpire who is receiving coaching from Brian above. In one match Mark was umping, the bowler bowled, struck a pad and Mark appealed for LBW!!!! He then gave it "Not out"!!!!

-----ooooo00000ooooo-----

Ralph Abbott (Two Ts, no sugar), Roger Merry (featuring in Carry on Cruising), John Dear (having highlights done), John has appeared in a number of films (he took the lead in "Lassie") and Andy Morris (dancing) were unavailable so are not featured in the team photograph.
Tony Hobden, Bob Jenkins, Fearnley Roach and Dougie Davis aren't in the photo either, I went to school with them.

Missing dogs.

A couple of pedigree chihuahuas have been stolen from a Sandown home, police say that they have been given a few leads.

Load of bull.

My wife and I went to the Shorwell fancy dress party last week-end. Barbara was made up to look like a cow (no comment) and I was dressed as a bull. We had a bit too much to drink so we decided to walk home, we crossed a farmer's field and Barbara spotted the bull eyeing her up and down. "What shall we do?" she cried. My response, "I'm going to start grazing, but you had better brace yourself!".

Our BLUE PLAQUES.

Blue plaques have started appearing on the Strollers' chalets.

Look out for:

----oooo0000oooo----

RONNIE CORBHUT One quarter (by weight) of the Two Ronnies ~ stayed at STROLLERS with his family ~ Ronnie was stuck in a chalet (couldn't reach the handle) and invented the "Knock, knock" jokes. STEVE OVEHUT Worked as a washer upper some years back, the sound of running water from the taps made him run to the loo regularly ~ this practice made him the runner he was.

OLGA KORBHUT World famous gymnast stayed at STROLLERS one summer and she developed the original double back flip off a chalet roof (with twist) onto the revetement followed by a double forward flip onto the beach.

MARGARHUT BECKHUT M.P. Claimed a STROLLERS chalet as her second home, sprucing it up with a plasma TV, wine cellar and a £3000 jet-ski (all claimed on expenses).

Council workers.

Michael and Patrick (names changed to protect their nationality), got jobs with the Isle of Wight council painting the white lines down the centre of roads. Their boss was impressed that they managed 4 miles (6.4km) on their first day.

They managed 3 miles (4.8km) on the second and 2 miles (3.2km) on the third day. The boss interviewed them on their fourth day to ask why they had slowed down, Michael pointed out that it was getting further and further to walk back to the paint pot.

If that isn't a lap record, I'll eat my hat which I don't normally wear.

And after lap 55 we will have 56, 57 and then 58.

Bring back David Coleman.

David was guilty of a few verbal bloomers in his time:

A fascinating duel between the three men.

A truly international field, with no Britons competing.

There's going to be a real ding-dong when the bell rings.

He is even smaller in real life than he is on the track.

And there's Moses Kiptanui - the 19 year old who turned 20 last week.

It's not fair!

People who know me are aware that my hair isn't as long as it was in 1976, I phoned for a hair cut, explaining that I was a bit scruffy and in need of a trim, but that there were a few bald patches. I was surprised to find that my haircut was to cost 50p, unfortunately, the barber decided to add a £9.50 search fee as well.

I bought some HP sauce the other day, 10p deposit and 6p a week for 12 months.

I went to the butcher's the other day and bet him £50 he couldn't get the meat off the top shelf. He said "The steaks are too high".

A man came around after a serious road accident, he said "Doctor, I can't feel my legs!", "I know", the doctor said, "I've cut your arms off, by the way, can I buy your gloves?"

The police found our ice cream man dead in his van, covered in cream, Cadbury's flakes and hundreds and thousands ~ they reckon he'd topped himself.

Thankyou Bob Jenkins, old chap!
