years ago a lot of garages had pumps that could be preset to deliver a fixed amount - I used to choose beween a pound and thirty bob's worth - petrol was around 4/- a gallon at the time

sunny from time to time

Happy St. George's Day, everyone.


JBR, both the Union Flag and St. George's Flag get hijacked every now and again 
by people with not much but hate between their ears. But most of us know the difference
between love of our country and bigotry.

And so the For Sale board went up
Now the locals had no where to sup

Thank you again, I will try to stay logged in in future.
I'm sorry for the conusion, I am becoming more wooly minded,
I forgot my landline number the other day and don't even try
to rememember my mobile number. I would blame being ninety-three
as an excuse but then think of David Attenborough.

Quote from: klondike on April 22, 2026, 11:37:47 PMOur flag was highjacked by groups such as the BNP. It hasn't recovered unfortunately.

The BNP must be a bit thick, then.  The St George's Cross represents Englsnd, not Britain.
Just because mindless yobs fly it, it should not be banned.  Of course, it would not be easy to criticise the BNP yobs as flying our national (English) flag can never be regarded as anything other than the support of England.

That's probably why they do it; it would be difficult to criticise it.  Perhaps, if they do any damage or even shout intimidating words, there might be a case for action against them to be taken.  Sadly, we don't seem to have proper police since Treason May sacked all of our best.
