  3. I had an email this morning for a BRM Black Friday sale... If it had been a BRM Black Five sale I might have been interested!

  4. Since when was "Black Friday" ten days in duration?

      I fail to see any reason why a Friday is black - it's meaningless marketing twaddle. Ignore it.

      I do not recognise the term - no such word! It's just a soft-cover book.

  9. Is there a secret to de-cluttering? How do you throw things away knowing for sure you aren't going to need them in a couple of weeks time?

      'Decluttering' is just a conspiracy by those that want to sell you new junk.

  10. The 3000 plus brand new Jaguars ive been watching get scrapped are from the China dock explosion in Tianjin last year, even though they were a mile from the explosion they never went through customs and were written off there on paper, so had to travel back from China to be scrapped. Sad to watch.

      Would you like a Jaguar?

      I am going to feel really smug about recycling my plastic milk jugs knowing I am so much more caring about the world than anyone involved in that farrago. And if any politician tells me I'm not doing enough I can suggest where he might shove a Jaguar.

  12. Does Flying Scotsman always have to wear The flying Scotsman headboard.

      The confusion was, I'm sure, a deliberate ploy by the LNER. Pre war they had identical names, so no 'The' prefix on the train headboard. Seems the trick is still working!
