This was something I meant to send to the list at least 2 or 3 years ago. Have you ever like I have wondered if your fridge and freezer would be OK whilst you were away, I have and thought this hint was great BUT of course I have always forgot to put it into action. You simply put a few ice cubes into a small bag or sealed container, and check on it when you come back from holiday .. it will tell you if the freezer has been off for long enough to check your other freezer stuff [and the fridge if it is a part of the appliance] ... because the ice cubes would melt and then refreeze as either a blob of distorted cubes or a solid block if it had been for a longish period.

Thanks to everyone who responded ... I've decided to throw out the ice-creams and ice lollies - and also the frozen cooked food - but will keep the rest - and try and use it all up in the next 2-4 weeks - descending in order of 'thickness' of the packaging - starting with the thinnest .. :-)) Shop bought frozen food isn't nearly as frozen as the food in my freezer - and the unfortunate thing was - we had only just stocked up (a few hours before the power outage) - so this food won't be as 'solid' as the other, older, frozen stuff ... One thing - I'm not sure I'd've wanted to have trusted any of this food if the lecky had been off for 24 hours - let alone 48 ... Urghh ... Maybe US / Canadian freezers are built differently - maybe they have more insulation around them ... Thanks again ... Sue Sorry Sue & All...

No - not really --- I was all wound up - quite nervous actually - being alone with my own thoughts --- not good for me - way too many bad memories . . I had my landing window open - I could hear their "raised-voices" through the window --- it was a fairly warm night - and so they kept drifting out into the garden --- mostly because the street lights helped them see-in-the-dark' - plus smoking is not allowed in the house ...

Actually - when I said the lecky was off until abour 3pm - that's not strictly true - cos our neighbour gave us an extension lead from his house - so Andy rigged our outside fridge/freezers to it - but it must have been around 11am - cos the lecky men didn't come until about 10 ...

To correspondents in Canada, the committee are under a deep debt of gratitude for the help rendered in placing the emigrants in employment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Posted with permission of the transcriber, Barb. Baker. Geo. THE TIMES, Thursday, March 12, 1891 EMIGRATION TO CANADA -- A WARNING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: Sir, - As one who is living in the North-West of Canada, I feel constrained at this time to give a word of warning to intending emigrants. In spite of the lesson to be learnt from the terrible BIRCHALL-BENWELL case at the close of last year, I find during a temporary sojourn in England that many parents and guardians are again this coming spring about to pay premiums to people in Canada who offer to teach young men farming. The paying of premiums is bad every way. 1. It is waste of money, which is wanted later on for stocking a homestead farm. 2. It leads the pupils to be idle. 3. It encourages a great deal of roguery. 1. Any young man who means to work can obtain work in the spring. There are numbers of farmers who want help, and will give a man at least his board and lodging in return for what help he can give. If parents will supply their sons with a good outfit of clothes, a ticket to their destination, £5 for incidental expenses, and introductions to respectable laity or clergy, that is all that is necessary to start with. Let the young man hire himself out on arrival in the North-West, and work for old settlers for two years. By that time, he will have gained experience at other people's expense, and will know (1) whether he is suited for the country; (2) what kind of land to take up, for there are, of course, many different kinds of soil; (3) how to stock his free grant or homestead of 120 acres. Then is the time for the father to spend his money in helping his son to stock his homestead, buy agricultural instruments, &c.; the more the better, but a few hundred pounds will suffice. 2. Many lads whose fathers have paid a premium for them say "I shall not work, my father has paid for my living here." 3. Although there are not many BIRCHELLs, yet there are plenty of rogues in the world. And many of the men who have pupils and pretend to teach farming, really only have a ranche, and therefore are not in a position to teach mixed farming, and many others are mere novices themselves. The above opinions will be borne out by the authorized agents of the Canadian Government, who are in England on purpose to give true and faithful information to inquirers -viz., the Canadian Commissioners' Office, Victoria-street, Westminster, London. LEONARD DAWSON, Rector of Regina, North-West Canada. March 10 =====================================================
Posted with permission of the transcriber, Barb. Baker. Geo. THE TIMES, Thursday, Sept 2, 1858 "BELTED WILL". - A few days ago as old JAMES WALKER, the parish clerk, was digging a grave in the burial ground attached to Brampton Old Church, he came upon the sidestone of a "throgh" or altar tomb, imbedded in the soil, at a depth of about 15 inches from the surface. Upon the stone were carved the arms of the De MULTONS, the DACRES, and the HOWARDS quartered with the DACRES; and near the place where it was found, there was also discovered a spur of the period "When rustled moors-troopers rode the hill "And bugles blew for BELTED WILL" It will be remembered that it was by the marriage of the heiress of THOMAS de MULTON, MARGARET de MULTON, who was carried off in the night time from Warwick-castle, by RALPH de DACRE, to whom she had been betrothed, that Naworth passed to LORD WILLIAM HOWARD. LORD CARLISLE, who is now staying at Naworth, has examined, the stone and has expressed his belief that it has marked the grave of BELTED WILL, and he intends to make further excavations as soon as he obtains the consent of the vicar. Naworth Castle is in the parish of Brampton, and it seems not at all unlikely that the parish church would be selected as the burial place of LORD WILLIAM HOWARD. He died at Naworth in the year 1640, during the ravages of the plague, and if, as has been alleged, he fell a victim to that fearful disease, he would, as is usual in such cases, be buried in his clothes; this may account for the finding of the spur near the place of the supposed interment....." Carlisle Journal "
Posted with permission of the transcriber, Barb. Baker. Not much 'honour among thieves' on this occasion. lol Geo. THE TIMES, Monday Jan. 13, 1851. - Escape of Robbers from Carlisle Gaol. CARLISLE, JAN. 11. Between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning, JOHN THOMPSON, WILLIAM MOUNSEY, and THOMAS PINNICK, three desperate characters who (along with another man named WILLIAM GRAHAM) were committed about six weeks ago to take their trial for highway robbery and attempted murder, made their escape from Carlisle gaol by a well planned stratagem. Three of these fellows have been previously convicted more than once. Their conduct, when examined before the magistrates' at the Town-hall, was of the most uproarious nature. They had robbed a poor old farmer upon the Brampton-road at midnight, and their violence on the occasion was such that they left him in his cart apparently dead. He, however, recovered. The circumstances attending their escape are briefly as follows: Ever since their committal to gaol GRAHAM has been subject to epileptic fits; consequently, the surgeon ordered that he should sleep in a cell with two other prisoners, whose duty it was to take charge of him during these attacks. He was at first separated from his fellow offenders, but since the sessions, which were held last week, there were no other untried prisoners remaining, with the exception of one; the governor therefore (who is prevented by law from placing convicted prisoners along with those who have not yet been tried) had no alternative but to place one of his own party with him, in connexion with the untried prisoner already alluded to. Yesterday morning this man objected to remain any longer iin the same cell with the two highway robbers on account of their extreme wickedness. Consequently the governor placed another of their companions with them, thus making a party of three. Owing to an uproar shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, the night watchman (JOHN JAMES) went to the governor's bedroom window and stated that there was great shouting and knocking in ward No. 4, and that he thought GRAHAM had had another fit. The governor accordingly gave him the keys and a light to go into the gallery and ascertain the fact; he went to the door of the cell in which the three robbers were confined, looked through the keyhole, and seeing the other two prisoners holding GRAHAM, inquired, "Is anything amiss?" One of the party replied, "For God's sake make haste and open the door; the fellow is dying." Knowing that GRAHAM was subject to fits, he incautiously opened the door and introduced his light, though against his instructions, which are never under any circumstances to enter a cell by himself. No sooner had he opened the door than he was seized by the throat by GRAHAM ( the dying man ! ), thrown upon his back, and the keys forcibly taken from him. He made every resistance, but all was of no avail; moreover, MOUNSEY civilly said to him, "If you don't be quiet d___d sharply it will be the worse for you; but if you are quiet, as you are only a working man like ourselves, we'll not imbrue our hands in your blood." The three robbers then left the cell, having locked up in it the watchman, who still shouted, but could not be heard from the governor's bedroom. They then liberated their companion PINNICK who was locked up in another cell, and the four immediately proceeded to plan means for effecting their escape. They first got a plank, which they fixed upon the spikes of some railings bordering the south wall of the prison; they next carried off a short ladder used by the night watchman for lighting the lamps. This they placed upon the plank, but as their machinery was still defective they secured a long towel, which proved very useful. The towel was handed to GRAHAM, who (being the tallest man) mounted first, and with difficulty got upon the wall. The other prisoners, assisted by GRAHAM with the towel, were then pulled up one by one, till the whole four were perched upon the wall like so many cats. Their next business was to descend. They accordingly drew up the ladder and let it down on the opposite side of the wall; the towel was again brought into requisition by GRAHAM, who let the other three down till they reached the top of the ladder, which they descended with comparative ease. When MOUNSEY reached the ground he threw down the ladder and shouted to GRAHAM (for whom they all appeared to entertain a great dislike), "Stick there you b____ y skylark." The three men then made off a quickly as possible along the Caledonian Railway, and according to GRAHAM's statement ran in the direction of Ravinglass. GRAHAM not being able to help himself either in one way or another sat upon the wall for at least an hour, when he called a watchman, telling him that all the prisoners were escaping, and that he believed they had murdered the night watchman. The governor was instantly aroused; he ran out half-naked, and saw GRAHAM upon the wall. Several watchmen now entered, and one of them holding up his baton and pointing to GRAHAM, exclaimed "Come down, you villain, or I'll blow your brains out." "Oh ! don't fire, and I'll come down," was the reply. He was then brought down by a ladder and secured. Every possible means have been resorted to for the recapture of the escaped prisoners. Police officers and other parties were instantly despatched to Wigton, Hesket, Wreay, Skewmire, Dalston, Singtown, Whitehaven, and in fact in all directions; but up to 10 o'clock this evening, no intelligence of their recapture has been received. 20l. reward has been offered for their apprehension. THOMPSON is an Irishman, 23 years of age, slight made, 5 ft. 3-1/4 in. high, swarthy complexion, black curly hair, grey eyes; dressed in a black shooting coat, black vest, and black trousers, cloth cap, and clogs. MOUNSEY is a native of Durham; 59 years of age, 5 ft. 6-1/4 in. high, fresh complexion, brown hair (long and straight), blue eyes, head large; had on a cloth cap with peak, dark shooting coat, cord trousers, and ankle shoes. PINNICK is a native of Southampton; 24 years of age, 5ft. 3-1/4 in. high, fresh complexion, dark brown hair (long and straight), hazel eyes, strong black whiskers; dressed in a dark shooting coat, dark vest, and trousers, and clogs. ====================================================
