On Site
Mel's photos these. Only one site photo - well done! Interesting scene of devastation - much as the
tent looks after Andy has rushed in for that last cup of tea. I hope that's not what I think it is
in the grass there and that Suzie had nothing to do with it.
The Confederate Army stops by
The fields of Pidd were thrust back into the turbulent times of mid-Nineteenth century America when
a lost force of Confederate troops (oh OK just Mel and his rubber buttocks) rolled into camp. Mooning
and commandeering everything in sight it took a major counter attack (yeah all right just Lee) to
send them packing.
Too Weird even by Pidd Standards
Nuff said, know what I mean - Run, Run like you've never run before. Run as if your pants were filled
with a hot Birmingham Balti. Don't look back, don't pause for breath. Git outta here man, Save
yourself. Oh and this is hardly an episode of That's Life either
Action Man saves the Day
Abdul Al'Chamberlain the thieving arab terrorist had hatched a cunning plot with the Piddington
Mafioso - Fat Ernie and Bert "The Knife". Only one plastic man could foil their evil plan. With a
little help from his support team he was off. Parachuting in he quickly negotiated a peaceful
settlement with the arab in exchange for some carpet and a pair of curly slippers. THen it was off
back to the skies to surprise the Mob. Clever disguises didn't fool him for a second and as soon a
guns were drawn he was in. Chop - Chop his Martial Arts training had paid off and the crooks were
hung out to dry.
No escape from Mel's Candid Camera
There is no photo too personal or disturbing that Mel will not take. Beware when you are carrying
out your most intimate of personal tasks as Mel may be there hiding until CLICK too late it's all
over and your captured on film for posterity.
The Yawning from My Awning Launch Party
Chris and I were only here for the middle weekend, just in time to catch the trip to the Charles
Wells Brewery (possibly the coolest thing to happen to Pidd since the Marquee in '92) and the launch
of the 1997 Tales From My Tent Flaps Bumper Book of Fun.
