DIDDY ECKERSLYKE

Let me introduce you to another friend of mine - it's Willie Eckerslyke's small brother. Willie is 6ft 4inches high and Diddy is 5 ft exactly, so he is low down!  He is the best car mechanic for miles around.  He saves the lives of cars gotten t'thend of their lives, poor things!   He relentlessly pursues answers to problems beyond most mechanics patience, capability or knowledge. He's a reet grand chap, hard working, not like 'is brother who people say - will he work, will he eck as like! (Lancashire speak)




Diddy  is frequently heard saying "It'll last yer another 10 years".  Appen it's to the chagrin of folk who long for an excuse to get therselves a new set of wheels.

(Diddy is based on a real person, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent).

I have been resizing less pixels to save space on the blog but am now getting blurring at 300 must try a bigger picture

    I'm using 640 x 480 as my standard blog picture size and it seems to work OK and be in the range that Picasa don't count in your 'free' storage allowance.

    Love the Eckerlyke family names ... tried to think of more but could only come up with Woody .. I don't have your imagination :-)

    Dear Polly - glad to meet Woody HM - wonderful - as for the pixels - I haven't a clue how to go about this. I know I had to start paying a small fee each month for my blog and photos. So any tips you have would be deeply appreciated. Have a lovely day.

      I understand that it is the photograph sizes that fill up your blog allowance, so they need to be resized and perhaps some of your old photographs deleted or resized to free up space. I downloaded free software Pixresizer, which is easy to use (must be if I can use it) and there is an option for the sizes it recommends you use. Sue Clinker (above) reckons 600 which is what they recommend is fine. Silly me has been reducing pics to 300 and I am losing some of the clarity. My pics are 3000 x 2000 odd. Hope this helps. It is a bit time consuming but maybe worth a try! I am sure if you include this in your next post you will get better solutions. Can't believe I am passing on tips!!!!! Who would have though that!

    Was thinking about my maternal Granny today and realised she could almost have been an Eckerslyke. Her name was Daisy May .... actually mine is Susan May (but I won't eckerslyke) LOL
