<strong>October</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
Dear Readers ...<br />
Oh my goodness ... It’s <strong>October</strong> already - where is this<br />
year going ??? Summer is over and Autumn is upon us, it<br />
won’t be long before the chills set in, leaves start falling<br />
from the trees and the clocks go back. Autumn is my<br />
particular favourite season and I think Knaresborough<br />
looks spectacular at this time of year ... we often forget<br />
how wonderful the area is in which we live so why not<br />
take a walk up to the castle and enjoy the views (with a<br />
hot brew in hand!) as the leaves change colour ... or take<br />
a walk through Nidd Gorge but wrap up well and don’t get<br />
lost in there !<br />
Flu jabs are already starting to be advertised at most<br />
doctors surgeries and chemists. Flu is not very pleasant<br />
and is so easily spread so get booked in before the flu<br />
catches you. If you do have the flu then take it easy, rest<br />
and stay well hydrated - a rested body is more equipped<br />
to fight infections than an overtired and stressed out one.<br />
Halloween is at the end of this month so don’t forget to<br />
get those treats in if you celebrate this event. Remember<br />
to always go out in groups if you are ‘trick or treating’<br />
and stay safe. For those that aren’t in the know, if you’d<br />
like to invite ‘trick or treaters’ to your door then put out<br />
a lit pumpkin so they know they’re welcome to knock<br />
... and who says you can’t play a prank or two on them<br />
yourselves ???<br />
As Bonfire Night falls very shortly after Halloween, we’ve<br />
also included a listing of local bonfire activities so you<br />
can start your planning early !<br />
We’d like to welcome Christians and Donkeys Years<br />
Antiques on Silver Street to Knaresborough - I’m sure<br />
you’ll all pop along and offer them a warm welcome too !<br />
Don’t forget our shop local Christmas challenge - see<br />
how many of your gifts and foods you can source locally<br />
- there’s only 85 days till from the start of this month left<br />
... time’s a ticking folks g<br />
It only takes YOU to start a trend!<br />
Shop local ... Eat local ...<br />
Spend time local !<br />
Until next month ...<br />

Knaresborough & District Men’s Forum<br />
The Knaresborough & District Men’s Forum provides regular contact between members, retired gents<br />
from all walks of life, in a friendly atmosphere where all are made welcome. There is no joining or<br />
membership fee so the only layout is £2 should you attend a talk. There is also the opportunity for<br />
further social contact with regular monthly inexpensive lunches at the lovely Dower House Hotel and an<br />
annual day-trip. They had a steady influx of new members last year and are hoping that trend continues.<br />
This year sees the start of their forty-eighth season, a half century beckons.<br />
The groups new Chairman, Alan Pitchfork, began his three-year tenure following the AGM in April,<br />
assisted by Vice-Chairman Tony Martin and the rest of the ten-strong committee including three new<br />
members. Alan is looking forward to the new season of weekly talks commencing 3rd <strong>October</strong>, ending<br />
with the last on 17th April next year. He expects a good turnout of members as the attendances last<br />
season were regularly above 80. Alan says ”besides a programme of interesting talks each Tuesday<br />
morning on diverse topics there is also the social aspect of the Forum”.<br />
If you’d like to attend any of their meetings, just pop along to Knaresborough House on any given Tuesday<br />
morning at 10.15am.<br />
Mother Shiptons Statue<br />
Mother Shiptons lifesize bronze statue was recently unveiled in Knaresborough<br />
Market Place - our fair towns most famous celebrity, the prophetess and<br />
soothsayer. Mother Shipton was born half a millennium ago and lived her life on<br />
the opposite river bank to the town in a small cave. That cave is of course today a<br />
tourist hotspot. We all know it. She really is famous throughout the world though<br />
as England’s greatest prophetess. Shipton allegedly foretold numerous things<br />
including, according to Samuel Pepys, the Great Fire of London in 1666!<br />
The statue was primarily funded by the George A Moore Foundation along with additional fund raising by<br />
Knaresborough & District Mens Forum.<br />
A coloured brochure will soon be available to purchase, telling the whole Mother Shipton story from start<br />
to finish right up to this day’s events with details of donors and fundraising activities - keep an eye out in<br />
our local shops to get your copy!<br />
Marie Curie Collection Box Co-Ordinators Needed<br />
Marie Curie is looking to recruit collection box co-ordinators to cover different<br />
areas of Harrogate and Knaresborough to support the charity’s work by<br />
organising and growing a new collection tin campaign in the local community.<br />
This is a wonderful way to get out and about in the community.<br />
Collection box co-ordinator role is voluntary and basically involves asking local shops and businesses if<br />
they would have a Marie Curie collection box. Then every few months – or when needed you collect the<br />
box, count and bank the donations and replace the tin with an empty one.<br />
The positions are flexible and volunteers can select the geographical area they cover and the number of<br />
hours they volunteer each month. We currently only have 15 tins out in the whole of Harrogate – so we’d<br />
love to increase that – but we need your help.<br />
Maybe you own a business and would like one of our tins ? We are also keen to hear from local businesses<br />
such as newsagents, supermarkets, post offices, petrol stations, schools, pubs, doctors surgeries and<br />
cafes if they are interested in supporting the charity by displaying a collection tin.<br />
All their volunteers are provided with photo IDs and are all registered with the charity to ensure the tins<br />
are collected by the correct people.<br />
Marie Curie has approximately 13,000 registered volunteers including those supporting shops, hospices<br />
and fundraising and more than 9,455 people volunteer with the charity on a regular basis. Thanks to the<br />
incredible support of Marie Curie volunteers in the past year, the charity’s:<br />
• Hospices supported 8,739 people and their families<br />
• Helper volunteers made 8,800 visits to 9788 people<br />
• Shops raised £2.6 million for vital care and support<br />
• Fundraising groups raised a further £4.5 million.<br />
If you would like to become a part of this or would like further information about volunteering<br />
or fundraising opportunities then please contact Gemma Hewitt 01904 755 260, email<br />

Gardening Tips<br />
When replanting your beds for spring and winter flowering use Pansy, Polyanthus,<br />
Wall flowers or for a milder winter and protected areas (such as pots near a front<br />
door) a wider variety of plants are available that you would not normally plant out<br />
in the flower bed. Plants that could be used now include primrose, cherianthus,<br />
violas, cinerana maritina, solanium, semperium, alpine or mini-cyclamen, bellis or<br />
forget-me-not.<br />
Cut back old flower stems and divide older herbaceous plants. Remove all perennial weeds. Protect tender<br />
perennials with a peat covering. Some plants eg. garden mums can be left with their summer growth to<br />
protect them through the winter, then cut back as the new growth appears in the spring.<br />
To store potatoes remove surplus soil, dry slightly then put in plastic pots or containers covering with<br />
sand or peaty soil. Cover the top of the containers with vermin proof covers.<br />
Do not cut the lawns too short or moss will grow faster than the grass. Manage removal of moss to give<br />
the grass the opportunity to grow.<br />
We would love to receive feedback on the tips that we have given throughout the year. Any comments<br />
welcome, please find contacts below.<br />
Now is the time to prepare for our late show held at Countryside Live. Not only do we show produce there<br />
are also sections on cakes, preserves and handicrafts. There is also a section for children. You do not<br />
need to be a member to enter the shows. The schedule for the show can be found on our website.<br />
Why not pop along to one of our next meetings ?<br />
You can also come to our meetings held at on the third Wednesday of the month to get advice from<br />
other gardeners. We have a varied programme for the coming year including:<br />
18th <strong>October</strong> <strong>2017</strong> talk by Clifford Cain from Fruitscape ‘Getting the best from Your Fruit Trees’<br />
15th November <strong>2017</strong> talk by Peter Williams ‘Wonderful Weeds’<br />

Spotlight on Malta<br />
with Knaresborough Travel<br />
Having just returned from the Beautiful Islands of Malta and Gozo, I<br />
thought I would share a little bit about these islands.<br />
Blessed with a mild climate and set in the crystal waters of the<br />
Mediterranean. Malta and its sister islands of Gozo and Comino offer you<br />
a memorable experience. Complete relaxation can be combined with the<br />
exploration of the islands’ many cultural, artistic and natural treasures.<br />
Long considered to be a microcosm of the Mediterranean and a favourite<br />
with travellers who seek an authentic island experience, these islands<br />
offer an impressive range of historical and cultural sites, together with<br />
a wide spectrum of activities, making Malta a truly unique year-round<br />
holiday destination.<br />
Malta has managed to strike the right balance between traditional<br />
hospitality and a cosmopolitan vibe with a wealth of different<br />
accommodation to choose from, apartments and private villas to some<br />
beautiful 5* hotels. Its capital Valetta is also the starting point for many<br />
cruises around the med, so makes an ideal cruise and stay option.<br />
Must- See’s on a Trip to Malta<br />
A trip to the Mdina, Malta’s Medieval capital is a must. The history of Mdina and its suburb Rabat<br />
is as old and as chequered as the history of Malta itself. The origins of Mdina can be traced back<br />
to more than 4,000 years. Still home to Malta’s noble families, their impressive palaces line its<br />
narrow, shady streets. It is one of Europe’s finest examples of an ancient walled city and unusual<br />
in its mix of medieval and Baroque architecture. Lamp lit by night, Mdina transforms itself into<br />
the ‘Silent City’.<br />
Take a trip to the picturesque Blue Grotto and its neighbouring system of caverns that mirror the<br />
stunning phosphorescent colours of the underwater flora. The Blue Grotto, located near “Wied<br />
iz-Zurrieq” - south of the town of Zurrieq, is a popular dive site because of the crystal-clear azure<br />
waters. The site also featured in the film Troy (2004) starring Brad Pitt.<br />
Take the short ferry crossing to Gozo. Enjoy a tour of the Citadel;<br />
a small fortified city and citadel which lies in the heart of Victoria<br />
on the island of Gozo, Malta. The area has been inhabited since<br />
the Bronze Age, and in the medieval era it was known as the Gran<br />
Castello.<br />
Visit Dwerja; the area where up until a few months ago the famous<br />
Azure Window stood - an impressive natural arch which stood<br />
twenty metres high. The landscape is still incredibly beautiful and<br />
you can view the Inland Sea - a secluded bathing pool with crystal<br />
clear waters surrounded by sheer cliff faces - perfect for snorkellers and divers.<br />
Visit Valetta and take in the Upper Barrakka Gardens; a beautiful<br />
public garden. The gardens offer a stunning panoramic view of<br />
the Grand Harbour and date back to 1661, when it was a private<br />
garden of the Italian Knights. Visit St John’s Co-Cathedral. The<br />
jaw dropping interior elaborately adorned by Mattia Preti is widely<br />
considered to be the best example of baroque style anywhere<br />
in Europe. The magnificent Cathedral is also home to the only<br />
signed work and largest painting by Caravaggio.<br />

Don’t forget, if you<br />
are going out ‘trick or<br />
treating’ remember<br />
the basic rules :<br />
1. Only houses with lit<br />
pumpkins outside should<br />
be approached as not<br />
everyone<br />
celebrates<br />
Halloween and you<br />
don’t want to go scaring<br />
someone elderly by accident.<br />
2. NEVER go out alone ! Always stay in a group or<br />
buddy-up for safety.<br />
3. Take extra care on the roads as most of you will<br />

Horoscopes<br />
by James Christie : for details/private readings phone<br />
01423 339 770<br />
ARIES (Mar 20 - Apr 19) : A quiet mood of determination<br />
helps you to focus on one issue at a time, and as such, a lot of<br />
niggling frustrations are resolved over the course of the month.<br />
Relationships seem stable but maybe you could do something<br />
to spice things up a bit, especially around the 14 th or 15 th when<br />
a little ripple of excitement makes its presence felt.<br />
TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 21) : Well, the summer has gone and<br />
here you are, battling into another winter. Despite the weight<br />
of SAD your mood may well be brighter and more upbeat than<br />
usual. There are plans afoot and things to look forward to! On<br />
a practical level, new banking routines should start working<br />
for you and will instil a new degree of confidence.<br />
GEMINI (May 22 - Jun 21) : Many of September’s concerns<br />
carry on into <strong>October</strong> in the sense that while there is an exciting<br />
romantic energy for some, parents of teenage children may<br />
still feel a degree of concern for their offspring. Some awkward<br />
choices in connection with jobs will need to be made around<br />
the 22 nd but overall the financial outlook is reasonably stable.<br />
CANCER (Jun 22 - Jul 23) : Some legal aspects or inner feelings<br />
of injustice begin to be mitigated and there is a new wave of<br />
energy filtering in from the 13 th or 14 th onwards. Health issues<br />
should be improving, with some good news coming your way<br />
during the 3 rd week. Finances improve towards the month end<br />
and a sum of money that has been owed to you will now be paid.<br />
LEO (Jul 24 - Aug 23) : Hard work brings high reward! This<br />
philosophy can be applied to your business and professional<br />
life and also to any romantic and sexual agendas. Property is<br />
an open subject for discussion and even overseas investments<br />
will be relevant for some. Financial security is the bedrock for<br />
emotional security and progress will be made in both areas.<br />
VIRGO (Aug 24 - Sep 23) : Someone else’s problems or<br />
misfortune will slow you down and necessitate a change<br />
of plans, especially in connection with work. In an odd way,<br />
this could be to your advantage if it makes you look at other<br />
pathways forwards. Business meetings and deals made around<br />
the 16 th or 17 th will have some long term beneficial effect.<br />
LIBRA (Sep 24 – Oct 22) : I wouldn’t describe your mood<br />
as being smug … but … you’re feeling pretty pleased with<br />
yourself! A number of problems and uncertainties will resolved<br />
in your favour and you should be enjoying some bright feelings<br />
of freedom and fresh confidence. Although it’s a bit late for<br />
summer holidays, there will be a few nights spent in nice hotels;<br />
this coincides with some major boost in your social life.<br />
SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 22) : This is one of those months<br />
when you seem to benefit from the best of both worlds.<br />
Romance and emotional relationships bring some extra<br />
quality of delight and excitement, while at the same time there<br />
is some change and improvement in all things connected with<br />
work and careers. In any decisions of choices, go with gut<br />
feelings and trust your intuition.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 - Dec 22) : As is frequently the case<br />
lately, current events are dominated by your concern for the<br />
welfare of others. This is both inevitable and commendable, but<br />
you must not lose sight of the fact that there are other things<br />
in life that need some of your time and attention. You are not<br />
totally defined by your sense of familial duty and loyalty.<br />
CAPRICORN (Dec 23 - Jan 20) : A note of caution. This is<br />
not the best of times to be impulsive or to go practical and<br />
pragmatic, and even if you don’t like the sound of some of<br />
it, pay heed to the advice you may be given at this time –<br />
especially any kind of professional advice.<br />
AQUARIUS (Jan 21 - Feb 18) : Impulsive actions raise a few<br />
eyebrows but bring lots of fun as you break free from old<br />
restraints and start re-writing your own personal rule book. You<br />
go against type and expectation and get a huge kick out of doing<br />
it. Need a new car? Fine, forget the Ford Fiesta - buy the Mazda<br />
MX5! A new suit? Well, what’s wrong with blue suede and flares?<br />
PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 19) : Some quiet thoughts. Is a current<br />
relationship something just for the here and now, or do you<br />
see it as something which could develop into a long term<br />
commitment? Your answer to this question will dictate your<br />
outlook and attitude over the next few weeks ... you need to be<br />
careful not to rock the boat while you’re making up your mind.<br />

Cloudy2Clear Windows<br />
– Service With A Smile!<br />
It’s been a crazy<br />
few months for<br />
Cloudy2Clear Windows.<br />
The company which<br />
specialises in repairing<br />
windows which are<br />
steamed up, broken or<br />
damaged by replacing<br />
the panes – not the<br />
frames has grown<br />
rapidly as homeowners<br />
take advantage of their<br />
services.<br />
Managing Director<br />
Paul McGeechan feels<br />
that it’s all about service.<br />
‘Our product is simple.<br />
If your double glazing is<br />
misted up we can replace<br />
the glass at a fraction<br />
of the cost of a new<br />
window, in any type of<br />
frame, and with a new<br />
5 year guarantee. But<br />
it’s not just about saving<br />
people money, although<br />
that obviously helps.<br />
Many tradespeople have<br />
struggled since last year<br />
and I honestly feel that<br />
during the good times a<br />
minority perhaps didn’t<br />
focus on customer care<br />
as much as they should<br />
have done. We make sure<br />
we turn up when we say<br />
we will, do the job the<br />
customer requires and<br />
leave their house as clean<br />
as a whistle. I often get<br />
comments back from<br />
customers on how they<br />
really didn’t expect that<br />
sort of service which,<br />
in a way, is very sad for<br />
the service industry as a<br />
whole.’<br />
Cloudy2Clear service<br />
the Knaresborough,<br />
Harrogate and Ripon areas<br />
and Paul is finding that<br />
his approach is a major<br />
factor in his success.‘The<br />
truth is that it’s not just<br />
the personal satisfaction<br />
that I get from doing a<br />
good job but also it makes<br />
good business sense. I get<br />
a huge amount of business<br />
from friends and family of<br />
people I’ve done work for,<br />
STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?<br />
Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!<br />
Broken or Damaged Windows?<br />
Faulty Hinges, Handles or Locks?<br />
Want The Latest Energy Saving Glass?<br />
All Glazing Backed By Our<br />
5 Year Manufacturers Guarantee<br />
Priority Freephone<br />
0800 61 21118<br />
www.cloudy2clear.com<br />
...we make saving money perfectly clear...<br />
which just goes to show<br />
how much a little bit of<br />
effort is appreciated.’<br />
So, if your windows are<br />
steamed up, broken or<br />
damaged give Paul a call<br />
for a free quotation on<br />
0800 61 21 118 and he’ll<br />
be happy to help!<br />

Chocolate Orange Pudding<br />
Chocolate and<br />
orange are<br />
perfect flavour<br />
partners and these<br />
lovely individual<br />
puddings taste<br />
delicious served<br />
warm with custard<br />
or cream.<br />
Ingredients:<br />
• 3 small<br />
clementines<br />
or satsumas,<br />
thinly sliced<br />
• 175g unsalted butter, softened<br />
- plus extra for greasing<br />
• 175g caster sugar<br />
• 3 large eggs, beaten<br />
• 125g self-raising flour<br />
• 50g cocoa powder, sifted<br />
• 1 tbsp fresh orange juice<br />
• 2 tsp orange zest<br />
• Custard or cream, to serve<br />
Ready in 1hr 30 mins<br />
Makes 6<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas<br />
mark 4. Butter and line the bases of 6 x 175ml<br />
metal pudding basins with circles of baking<br />
parchment. Place a slice of clementine or<br />
satsuma in the base of each basin and press<br />
2-3 slices around the sides.<br />
2. Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and, using<br />
an electric mixer, beat until pale and fluffy.<br />
Gradually beat in the eggs then sift over the<br />
flour and cocoa powder and fold into the<br />
creamed mixture with the orange juice and<br />
zest.<br />
3. Divide the mixture between the pudding basins<br />
and cover each with a square of pleated,<br />
buttered foil, scrunching it tightly around the<br />
sides of each basin. Transfer to a roasting tin<br />
and pour in enough boiling water from a kettle<br />
to reach halfway up the sides of the basins.<br />
4. Bake for 1 hour, until the puddings have risen<br />
and are firm to the touch, and a skewer inserted<br />
through the foil of one of the puddings comes<br />
out clean. Turn out and serve with custard or<br />
cream.<br />
TIP : You can cook the puddings a few hours<br />
before serving then simply re-heat in the<br />
microwave. Turn out onto a microwave plate<br />
and reheat three at a time on High for 30-45<br />
seconds.<br />

Knaresborough’s Mad Milkman<br />
Do you really know who’s<br />
delivering your milk ?<br />
We like to go to Barford Raceway over at<br />
Barnard Castle several times a year for stock<br />
car and banger racing, classic car racing and<br />
caravan racing. It was at our last visit that we<br />
noticed a car whizzing around the track with<br />
‘Knaresborough’s Mad Milkman’ on the side!<br />
You can imagine our surprise at meeting a very<br />
local chap racing there!!!<br />
Ross ‘Crag Rat’ Taylor is a regular figure around<br />
the Knaresborough area... he may even deliver<br />
your milk ! But did you know this former King<br />
James student also races vintage Ford cars all<br />
over the country?<br />
Ross had been watching heritage and F2 stock<br />
car racing for many years. When his brother<br />
bought and started racing his own F2 stock car<br />
he helped out. It was always something Ross<br />
wanted to do himself but buying a car for racing<br />
isn’t exactly the cheapest hobby.<br />
Back in 2009, the opportunity arose to actually<br />
drive a car on his favourite shale track at Belle<br />
Vue in Manchester after his brother had broken<br />
his wrist and needed a driver to replace him. All<br />
it took was that one drive - Ross was so totally<br />
hooked on the driving side of the sport he just<br />
had to save for his own car and eventually<br />
bought a Mark Taylor F2 (formula 2) stock car.<br />
Having raced the F2 stock cars up until 2012,<br />
Ross started spending more time with the<br />
heritage racing cars and fell completely for the<br />
romance and thrills of racing old school style.<br />
After winning his first heritage race at Coventry<br />
in 2013, Ross<br />
then went on to<br />
win an impressive<br />
15 trophies over<br />
the next 4 year.<br />
Every car also has<br />
the same 1172 side<br />
valve 100e original<br />
Ford petrol engine too<br />
and deep profile tyres<br />
to mimic the original<br />
1950s style.<br />
Although it is incredibly<br />
competitive on the<br />
track, off the track, the camaraderie is amazing.<br />
It doesn’t matter what happens on the track, in<br />
the pits everyone is just one big family. After<br />
Ross blew up his engine one week, it meant he<br />
was going to miss the next meeting. Another<br />
driver convinced Ross to bring his engineless<br />
car to the meeting anyway and gave him a new<br />
engine. Several drivers worked together to get<br />
the engine changed over as quickly as possible<br />
so that he could race. At another race, his<br />
chasis broke. One of the drivers lived locally so<br />
that evening they towed his car back, fabricated<br />
a new part and fixed Ross’s car so he was back<br />
racing again the very next morning. No matter<br />
what falls off your car during a race, you can<br />
bet someone will have spare! The other drivers<br />
never want anything in return ... they just know<br />
that they are all there for each other and that<br />
the favour will be returned when needed.<br />
If you’re thinking of getting into this sport,<br />
the best way to learn about the cars is to<br />
actually get a cheap old Ford car and learn<br />
how the 1950s tech works as it’s nothing<br />
like the modern cars on the road today. Visit<br />
www.heritagef2stockcars.org where you can<br />
find out more about the sport and may even<br />
find heritage cars for sale.<br />
Having spoken to a few of the other drivers, it<br />
seems that once you drive a heritage racing<br />
car, you’re going to be doing it forever! Infact,<br />
several drivers had already retired from racing<br />
only to become re-hooked by the heritage<br />
beauties.<br />
Ross reckons<br />
‘heritage car racing<br />
is the most fun you can have<br />
with your trousers on!’<br />
If you’d like to find<br />
out if that’s true then<br />
head on down to<br />
Belle Vue Speedway<br />
in Manchester on 5th<br />
November for the<br />
grand finale of heritage<br />
racing - North ‘v’<br />
South. If you’d like to<br />
know more or book tickets please go to their<br />
website www.bellevueaces.co.<br />
If you’d like to sponsor Ross and have<br />
your name or business feature on his car<br />
and van as they tour all over the country,<br />
please get in touch via his facebook page<br />
Including one<br />
whilst we watched<br />
that day at<br />
Barford Raceway!<br />
Did you know that ALL heritage racing cars<br />
must have an original 1950s Ford chassis and<br />
be either the Ford Poplar or Model Y body? www.facebook.com/ross.taylor.9085.<br />

Techie Tips : Password Protection<br />
We all know our passwords probably aren’t strong enough, but remembering complex passwords is difficult.<br />
The solution? A password manager. Apps such as 1Password or LastPass create a secure vault to store<br />
passwords on your computer, and when they’re needed they’re filled out automatically. Best of all, you can<br />
synchronise passwords across your various devices, so a password saved to your computer is available on<br />
your phone. Apple offers its service via iCloud Keychain, allowing you to store and sync passwords between<br />
Macs, iPads and iPhones.<br />
The real benefit of these services is that they generate really strong passwords, so you don’t have to come<br />
up with them yourself or remember impossible-sounding combinations of letters and characters. But don’t<br />
forget the golden rule: never use the same password on more than one site or service.<br />

Bonfire Night Activities<br />
Guy Fawkes night is soon upon us.... “remember, remember, the 5th of November”. Most of you know<br />

Parliament!<br />
