Morning Teakers. 

 

All noted but nothing to do with me.  I must say though, when the Councillors start looking younger it's a sure sign of getting older...........

I haven't been on RMWeb for a while and this was rather splendid to see!

 

Complements of the Season to everyone!

 

Best wishes and kind regards,

It's not considered politically correct to take the mickey out of dyslexics...

 

I did and I ended up getting hate mail off them, with such threats as:

 

"Laeve us xyllieds alone yuo winker!"

Lovely photos. I think the bubble car makes them and puts the photos in a time frame.

 

Thanks Alan. 

The Isetta was produced from 1953, with UK production  carried out from the site of Brighton loco works from 1957. 

 

The J70 was withdrawn in 1955...... but was probably in store for some time before that. 

 

Both the J70 and the Isetta would benefit from being toned down.

That's four images, that is.

 

So a couple of couples.

 

 

Thanks you and kind regards,

Strictly speaking that is correct but in practice the meaning of, and the the number it refers to, are 'slightly' elastic. One will be told something will take a couple of seconds/minutes/hours/day/months.... or someone might say they are only going to have a couple of pints, often "a couple" means two or more but less than ten.

No, no, no, no, no!

 

It can only mean 'two!'

 

I think the term with the elastic implications is 'a few!'

 

I have no wish to comment on the state of other peoples' marriages, but my wife and I are a couple (of jolly nice people, I would like to add!) and the last time I looked, there was no other person or persons loitering with any kind of intent anywhere in the vicinity!
