Wouldn't touch such stuff with yours, let alone a bargepole! Marmite chocolate* has been tried here. Once tasted** 🤢 , never again... 🤮 * A waste of good chocolate, though I expect TimTam is covered in "chocolate flavoured" confectionery, so thats ok. ** It took a lot of frantic toothbrushing with strong mint toothpaste plus a number of rinses with Corsodyl to get the taste out of my mouth!

The earliest steam stage coach was devised by a chap called Gurney and ran between London and Bath around 1827. I believe that it was priced off the road by a combination of conventional coach operators and turnpike trusts, and was the victim of the Red Flag laws to boot! https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/363070/view/steam-powered-coach-1826

There were fake towns earlier in the war, near to towns that had already been bombed, with patterns of fire to represent still burning buildings, to attract subsequent raids away from the real thing.

More an approximation of an authentic livery. Going by the above, the bogies should have been black*... * And the cab quarterlights filled in!

Blakes "Dark Satanic Mills" were the Cathedrals and Parish Churches of the Established Church of England, echoing the mills of the Industrial Revolution. He was a theist, hostile to the CofE... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Blake

The thing that made our fake army so real to the Germans was that it was supported by equally fake radio signals that populated the sites with fake people, orders and activities.

The delivery wagon looks like the white van man of today, who uses nothing but unrefined, reeking chip shop oil to avoid having to pay for diesel. Nothing changes!

And that reminded me of part of this which I last heard on a John Peel show more years ago than I care to remember...

Well.... 🤔 It's different! But a quick visit to the paint shop would help! 🙂 Whoever bought it would also have to do something about the fuel tanks that have been cut off.

Which, when venting into the open air, informs the neighbours that you had a very bad curry the previous evening...

Unless you have a really good seal between lid and seat (and seat and rim), it all gets ejected through the gaps instead!

I didn't buy Yeti as an "SUV", just as a comfortable car with a reasonable amount of room in the back. As you say, its a boxy "hatchback", based on a VW group platform. And its never been on a school run... 🤪 If it dies, I don't know what I'd replace it with, new cars are pretty meh. I might look for another (younger) Yeti!

They're probably commissioning the B Ark 2 already!

Small "SUV"s are perfectly acceptable. As Jol says, the height difference over a conventional car makes them easier to get into. I've a Skoda Yeti and I really do like it. I'm not intending to replace it anytime soon, but Skoda are apparently going to produce an EV with the same form-factor in a year or two, so I'll be following that with interest. 🤔 Anything larger than the Yeti is a waste of space... 🤪

He took the path less travelled..... 🙂

Hopefully your new 6 port charger will be capable of all the current, errrr, current outputs. USB started off at 500ma, then went on to 1 then 2 amps. Nowadays there is also a "Fast Charge" level at 3 amps, which is often demanded by appliances with USB C inputs. I've a Samsung tablet that requires fast charge. If if gets it, it says "ready in 1hr 50min". Anything lower and its the equivalent of "Come back tomorrow"...

Just so long as you didn't steeple your hands too... 🤔

While on holiday last week, I visited an NT property that had just opened a s/h bookshop, in fact it was the bookshops first day of operation! Got a book about things that run on parallel strips of metal, a book about Arthur Ransomes spying activities in Russia and a Folio edition of 1066 and All That. I'll have to stop visiting bookshops...
