CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF THE GRAND NATIONAL!!!!!

images

We loved the Grand National in our house………….at 3.00pm on a Saturday afternoon, live on BBC1, the Grand National would take place, but we never watched it at home!  My Dad would go through the “pull out” in the paper and contemplate which horses he would lay his bets on.  Then he’d turn to us kids and say “pick a horse”.   I always picked one that reminded me of someone or a place I had visited.  We’d all get ready, as a family and get our coats on whilst my Dad went to put his bets on in town, then we’d make a dash to the local Dixons shop and watch the Grand National on their TV’s………..in colour!!!!  There would be a huge crowd all cheering their horses on and waving their tickets……….Good luck for Saturday and may the best horse win!!!!

Here at Masterflex, we provide and manufacture specialist hoses for grass cuttings, hedge cuttings and leave collection in various sizes,  together with hoses for Woodworking, Plastics, Chemical/Pharmaceutical, Food, Automotive, Military and General Engineering.

Happy 100th Birthday to Vera Lynn…. The forces “Sweetheart”…!!!!

Image result for dame vera lynn

Vera Welch was born on 20 March 1917 in East Ham, part of east London.  By the age of seven, Vera was singing in working men’s clubs.  When she turned 11, Vera took her grandmother’s maiden name of Lynn as a stage name.

In 1936, when she was 19, she had her first solo record – called Up the Wooden Hill to Bedfordshire. By the age of 22 she had sold more than a million records.  However, it was during World War Two that her reputation was made. She frequently sang to the troops at morale-boosting concerts, becoming known as “The Forces’ Sweetheart”. One off her most popular songs was “We’ll Meet Again” which was released in 1939.

She was appointed OBE in 1969, made a Dame in 1975, and a Companion of Honour in 2016.

What an amazing life this Lady has had.  Happy Birthday Dame Vera Lynn from Masterflex

Top O’ the morning to you

StPatricksDayHappy

Today, March 17th, celebrates the life and work of the patron Saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.

Saint Patrick’s Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Lutheran Church.

The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, céilithe, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks. Christians also attend church services and the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday’s tradition of alcohol consumption.

On St Patrick’s Day it is customary to wear shamrocks and/or green clothing or accessories (the “wearing of the green”). St Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. This story first appears in writing in 1726, though it may be older. In pagan Ireland, three was a significant number and the Irish had many triple deities, a fact that may have aided St Patrick in his evangelisation efforts.

Get in touch with Masterflex, and let us know how will you be celebrating?

Bonfire Night

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes, guy, t’was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England’s overthrow.

By god’s mercy he was catch’d
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.

And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!

Ever since 1605, bonfires have burned on 5th November to mark the failed “Gunpowder Plot”, led by Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby who aimed to assassinate the Protestant King James and replace him with his daughter Princess Elizabeth

When Queen Elizabeth 1st took the throne of England she Passed laws preventing Catholics from practising their religion, forcing them underground. Guy Fawkes and his friends had hoped that King James 1st would change the laws back, but he didn’t.

Catholics had to practise their religion in secret and there were even fines for people who didn’t attend the Protestant church on Sunday or on holy days. James 1st passed more laws against the Catholics when he became king.

Fawkes and Catesby planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and with it the King. The plot was simple; the next time Parliament was opened by King James l, they would blow up everyone there with gunpowder.

The conspirators bought a house next door to the parliament building and filled it with gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was given the job to keep watch over the barrels of gunpowder and to light the fuse but on the morning of 5th November, soldiers discovered Fawkes hidden in the cellar and arrested him. The trail of gunpowder at his feet would never be lit.

The tradition of Guy-Fawkes related bonfire began the same year as the failed plot. At the time, Londoners knew little more than that their King had been saved, and they lit bonfires to celebrate. As the years passed, however, the ritual became more elaborate.

Fireworks were added to the celebrations, as were home-made ‘Guys’ representing Guy Fawkes which are laid on to the bonfire and burned.

Bonfire Night is not only celebrated in Britain. The tradition crossed the oceans and established itself in the British colonies during the centuries. It was actively celebrated in New England as “Pope Day” as late as the 18th century. Today, November 5th bonfires still light up in far out places like New Zealand and Newfoundland in Canada.
