RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted October 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) It was at the Bluebell recently. Lancing probably had to make do with Mayflower, backing through Hove recently. To a pub-sign decorator they probably look the same and they are both green.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted October 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2023 Looks more like malachite to me. Sounds like one of those Old Testamant tribes 'And The Lord smote the Malachites mightily, for they had not forsaken the path of sinfulness and wickedness, and smote He also the Trilobites and the Ammonites, unto the utmost extinction (at the end of the Permian apparently...). 1 1 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tip my hat to you! I know of the Ammonites of the Bible and the ammonites of Lyme Bay, but I'd never thought to connect them. Malachites is very plausible, isn't it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted October 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2023 I think would like a T shirt with this sign on it - the pace some of these things and their inconsiderate and illegal drivers zoom along pavements. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I don't know about the Malachites, but my mum was a Rechabite when she was young. I thought the Ammonites were a tribe still living in Pennsylvania alongside the Amish? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does have some dual-language signs. Although (I'm told) there's a bit of an academic bun-fight over what is "correct" Cornish. Ironically, the best translations into "classical" Cornish might be done about 130 miles further south, in Britanny. https://bernarddeacon.com/2020/08/29/has-the-standard-written-form-of-cornish-failed/ Just over one-half of one per cent of the population of Cornwall can speak basic Cornish. And less than one-tenth of one per cent are fluent. People's Front of Cornwall vs Cornish People's Front, 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether it visited Lancing on its recent trip south, but this was well before that. Putting Britain's most famous steam loco on your pub sign in Sussex strikes me as rather clever. The adenoidal types who might otherwise be attracted by the pub name would never want to drink there, and so won't frighten off normal customers who have got a life. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, it might possibly attract them, with their sweaty anoraks and bulging rucsacks, aching to put mine host right about his woeful pub sign. They'd empty the place in minutes and spend several hours nursing half a pint of the publicans cheapest lager. Rather than go bust, the sign would be changed as quickly as possible, if only to remove name and number... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea verily, there was much smoting. Neither must one forget the Ephraimites. Who (it is regularly said in certain degrees) had always been considered a clamorous and turbulent people, and had not been called out to partake of the honours of the Ammonitish war. Most significantly, from a defect in aspiration peculiar to their dialect, they could not talk proper like what the Gileadites did. And Scripture informs us that there fell on that day, on the field of battle and on the banks of the Jordan, forty and two thousand Ephraimites.

With bright knives he releaseth my soul, he maketh me to hang on hooks in high places, he converteth me to lamb cutlets, for lo! he hath great power and great hunger.

Generally if they give assistance over 15mph they are not e-bikes and should be licensed under motorcycle rules. one manufacturer sells them as fully legal for uk use, but their website details the easy (move one wire apparently) modification to unlock the higher power mode if you want it for private roads….! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
