"Just nipping out for a paper love ..."

... or it would have been, had Mrs Smiffy been at home. If anyone remembers "Auf Wiedersehen Pet", they might remember a similar phrase - I think it was Oz (Jimmy Nail) ... and when he turned up at home several days later, his missus said something like "Well what won the 3-30 then ... like ?".

Anyway I digress ... got up early (postie habit ?!?) in time to see "Match of the Day" (again !) and the Chinese Grand Prix. 0930 arrived so I went up to Top Mossley to get a "Non League Paper" - taking a camera in order to take a few pix of the Ashton United fans arriving at Seel Park on their sponsored walk ...

You can probably work out the rest ...

Ashton United Walk 15Apr12

... arrived back in Top Mossley just before 1600 hrs - just in time to buy the tea from the Co-op before it shut ...
