What are we trying to identify?
Is it not Stan & Ollie at Ulverston? they had just heard that Ken Dodds dads dog was dead.

Just send me the cuckoo clock judge........

[judgefoozle]

I think you're asking me to tell you that again. The question is:
Where was the photo taken?
The prize is a copy of the Cuckoo DVD documentary. I don't have any cuckoo clocks as I can't tell the time.
All I need now is to make the avatar a bit bigger.

[Hives (aka Billy Gilbert)]

Ok Judge, I'm saying Ulverston

[judgefoozle]

After you select the font size option, you need to alter the number to either, 4,6 or 8. (8 being the largest) [ignore the : in the above. I added that so it would show up]

Thanks, I'll give it a go!

Hey judge, as a learned scallop, will you look at page 132 of your book Laurel before Hardy please. It must be a typing error on Stans part as in his letter to Mr & Mrs Short, he mentions a book "Mr Laurel & Mrs Hardy, surely he meant Mr Hardy but what I need to know is "what is on the front cover of the book" ?
Can you help in this important matter ??

[judgefoozle]

A matter of great gravity indeed...
I do most of my reading over breakfast, with oft-times unfortunate results. But between the splatters of quails' egg yolks, I can make out the title of the blessed McCabe book you enquire about. It is definitely entitled Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy, ie both of the male gender. Page 132 of my L Before H book has a heavy port stain, but it IS Taylor's Original Reserve, so must be forgiven. The mistake could either be a whimsical prank on Mr. Laurel's part, or a genuine typnig erorr by Stan. His grammar was surprisingly good for a boy who was a stranger to school, but he consistently got the apostrophe wrong in words like "you're" (putting "your'e) and was not, after all, a typist. It is difficult for us now to remember (and for the younger ones to imagine) life before electronic typing. You got what you typed, unless you started all over again. And who remembers carbon paper??? The mother of one of the Monkees was a "pool" typist, and invented Tippex out of sheer frustration and nail varnish, but mistakes were common on the dear old Remingtons and Imperials, and surely we can forgive Stan. He probably had Mr. & Mrs. Short on his mind whilst writing, but that is venturing into the realms of psychology, which drives me mad.
Alternatively, it was written after Babe's little-known sex change.
Sadly, my scallop was scraped out long ago, leaving only a smear of intellect. Remember how dumb I used to be? I'm worse now.
Now, will someone pass the Madeira, please, before any more awkward questions ....?

[Hives (aka Billy Gilbert)]

Thank you judge but to pursue the matter, is the book title "Mr Laurel and Mr Hardy".... or is the title "Mr and a picture of Laurel and Mr with a picture of Hardy" ??. Oh, and for bonus points, what colour is the book ??
It isn't duifficult for me to remember life before electronic typing, I'm afraid I won't see 49 again........
