While you are in the village, have a look at our book recycling at the Telephone box, which is becoming a bit of a national talking point. In June, we will hold the annual Coffee morning on Mrs. Whelan’s lawn on Friday 16th. In Tidy Towns there is no such thing as retire-ment – Mrs. Whelan who was one of the found-ing members of Knockananna Tidy Towns still helps by hosting this event The June Carboot sale will be held on Saturday 24th of June.

BBQ Rules We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sub-lime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the

only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, proba-bly because there is an element of danger in-volved. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion: Routine... (1) The woman buys the food. (2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert. (3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand. Here comes the important part: (4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL. More routine.... (5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery. (6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation. Important again: (7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN. More routine.... (8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table. (9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all: (10) Everyone PRAISES and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts. (11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed 'her night off.' And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, con-cludes that there's just no pleasing some women....

.

Opening Times: Mon, Tue, Wed & Sat 9am—12:30pm Thursday & Friday 9am—2:30pm
