I would have liked to comment on Jennifer and John's tongue-in-cheek remarks but I'm afraid I'm too busy doing the ironing.

I must say, Jennifer, you are a lady after my own heart. My wife, Ann, always preferred it when I was out of the way (probably playing tennis) while she rodded out our drains.
This was when we lived near the centre of the village and the problem recurred from time to time – now we live in almost the highest house in the village and we don't get the problem – it is, as they say, all down hill from here.

Thanks for your kind words Lynette. I'm not really a great one for internet chat – I leave all that to him and concentrate on administering his blood pressure medication when he's read something on the Audlem website that's set him off again.
Of course the irony of this is that our Wes is actually quite progressive in his views in real life and supports the feminist cause and eliminating gender stereotyping and roles. Only last week, for example, he went off to do the weekly shop at Morrisons and left me at home to rod out the blockage in the sewer pipe to our cess pit. Bless him.

I just wanted to wish Jennifer Lechley and her husband Wes a very happy Christmas .
I thought the article Jennifer wrote was brilliant , I think you should take up writing professionally if you don't already .
I hope Father Christmas makes all your dreams come true . Are we allowed to call him that in this PC crazy world we live in ? �...�'�€�🎄

Good one Geoff. I had to read twice to get it.
How about Wendy Saint(s) ....go marching in?
Let's hope the Chatbox humourists take up the challenge and amuse us through the festive season.

Hello all Unfortunately we have a dead lamb as people see fit to walk their dogs whilst having no control of the animal I asked the editors to put up something explaining the law regarding dog worrying however it would seem they have not seen fit to post it.

Thank god at last I find people who are not afraid. We must as a nation remember the good the empire has done for the world Rule Britannia God Save the Queen remember to be born British is to win the lottery of life. We as a nation have shaped the world for good people must remember this and not forget the barbary pirates and the amount of money all us as British people who believe in Democracy have paid for freedom again Rule Britannia God save our gracious Queen and god save our amazing empire

Seeing the misplaced apostrophe in today's article about Audlem Saints' Christmas got me thinking about who could be Audlem's Saint (apart from James). The two that I could think of are Saint Salive and Fing Saint Whattheyusedtobe. Are there any more?

I would also like to endorse the comment about Boots in town, most helpful, friendly, always have time for a laugh or a quick word if they notice your not looking too good , an art if wearing a mask , well done girls all of you a credit to boots and asset to Audlem , thank you merry Christmas .

Just to reiterate it was a cleaner I was looking for not a lesson on politic correctness

Hi Rosemary – I've only just seen your suggestion that I go online dating – it's very thoughtful of you. However I don't tend to indulge in adultery, especially not over a harmless joke. Mind you, he probably wouldn't notice if I did as he'll be too busy in the New Year with the lawnmower and drill I'm getting him for Christmas as well as watching the Jo Brand DVD I'm getting him- can't beat a bit of misandry at Christmas eh?
He takes it all in good spirit too – we've been together a long time and are mature enough to recognise the difference between a joke and overbearing, virtue signalling political correctness.
Merry Christmas – and watch those cracker jokes – you never know what might offend.

With all the doom and gloom going on at the moment, what this country needs is humor more than ever ,but with all the pc brigade , civil rights, human rights, cancel culture, and ban everything that might upset someone movement ie cannot say ladies and gentlemen, as it is no longer inclusive !!!! soon will be like China or Russia frightened to express ourselves at all yes there is very nasty content online and elsewhere, and some so called jokes beyond the pale ,but vast majority are just that jokes its what this country is famous for, doubt we would have survived the the war without humor ,that's it done!! off down the pub,(don't tell the wife )

Interesting (?) fact about "Love Thy Neighbour" in 2003 it was reported that DVD compilation of the programme was a top seller in Nigeria and the Caribbean. Rudolph Walker, who played the West Indian neighbour apparently regrets that it can't be shown any longer. He saw the joke as actually being on the racist neighbour. Bit like Alf Garnet in "Till Death Us Do Part". Don't know what any of it has to do with finding a cleaner, but I just thought I'd throw it into the pot.
Might be an idea to recruit a bunch of undergraduates to operate a "cancel" committee to decide what content can go on ChatBox so no one can ever be offended.

Well the One.Network website is still showing Emergency Roadworks will be completed by 23:59 on 31st Dec. 2021. Ever the optimist me!

Well said Terry, humour is very subjective, and just because someone doesn't find something funny doesn't mean that it is automatically offensive, I am sure many found Wes's comment funny, I know I did.

I fondly remember "Love thy neighbour" being a light hearted joke

Lighten up a bit Bob. It's obviously just a joke. It reminded me of the time I bought my wife an iron for her birthday – it wasn't until after that that I realised how much they weighed when used as a projectile.
I'd like to see a bit more laughter on the Audlem Online – we haven't seen anything from Stephanie Richardson for a while – I always enjoy her contributions.

I've just seen Mr Fousert's comment. I would like to unreservedly apologise for any offence caused. I just saw an opportunity to rehash an old joke and given all the gloom and doom lately thought a little light humour might lift the mood for just a little while. I was assuming Mr McGregor was probably broadminded enough to get the joke. I do find that AudlemOnline has become a little dull since some of our perennial jokers have disappeared now that we must use real names. You may regard it as insensitive, but in my defence I'd say I've never had to resign a position through insensitive comments.

Hi Tanya
Please email me and I can forward my phone details on to you and we can have a chat about your requirements..
Lisatrumper@icloud.com

Hi James
Yes it's lisatrumper@icloud.com..
many thanks
Lisa

I actually chuckled at Wes's light hearted quip. Not PC I grant you and not something my significant other would think wise to utter.

Hi Lisa, i am also looking for a cleaner please contact me thanks

I have to say that I'm surprised that the Editors of AOL saw fit to publish the puerile and probably insensitive comment of Wes Lechley. It wasn't in the least bit funny nor helpful and does nothing to raise the tone of submissions to Chatbox!

Dear Mrs Lechley
I often hear of plenty of online dating signup details going in the new year if you fancy a break from the misogynistic jokes , new year new start!
