Quote from: Ashy on Today at 09:54:08 AMOur council has replaced lamp posts that were quite new, to replace them with posts with car chargers built in. There is no money for potholes and the road surface generally but they can find it for this, and blocking roads, and one way systems, and councillors' emoluments.

Hear hear, Ashy.  

Quote from: Michael Rolls on Today at 03:56:50 PMsadly, no. I had always promised my self a trip in her, but the Paris crash but a stop to that. I have gone over one on the ground, and was fascinated to hear the cabin carpet had to be woven so that it could stretch, and she lengthened by 12 inches of more as her skin heated up from air friction, even at her altitude

I have only flown once in my life,  and doubt I will ever do it again.

However,  around 1982-ish,  my then boyfriend took me to Duxford to see Concorde on  show.
I remember we were allowed to go on board  and walk around to see everything. 
So I can truly say - Yes, I have been on Concorde.   

I went on the one in Barbados .( on the ground )
It was stranded there after they were all grounded .
So it's now a tourist attraction .
It's very small inside .
Fascinating to know it got longer !
They had no films as the journey was so short and the well heeled passengers  were too busy quaffing champagne .
Must have been fun.


I did watch the live Aid concert it was great .
The world seemed a better place then

😀

I use the dry stuff I'm afraid .

So a Soiree it is
I will bring some fizz
Will we all dress the best
Klondie can't wear his string vest

Pardon ? 😀

I am well spoken until the menu gets to me.
Then I get more potty mouthed .
If after listening to long drawn out options they tell me go on their web site I launch into pure Anglo Saxon .

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 07:12:46 PMCould you repeat that please ?

What did he say, Scrumpy?   

Mercedes drivers are the worst .
They get a Mercedes and next they want to invade Poland .

Good for you .
Just as well Mr M doesn't like them he has an itchy enough foot on the gaz pedal as it is .
