      The tax he avoided paying would have paid for two nurses at least if not a couple of extra doctors and he still wouldn't have given a third of his wage like us serfs.

  5. Perhaps the forum could be replaced witha big noticeboard that we pin bits of paper to. It could be sited on the back of a lorry that slowly tours the country. After all, computors will never really catch on...

      Don't be silly Mick. The Sentinal steam waggon that I have in mind is fitted with those new pneumatic tyres, much better than solid tyres!

      I remember Jet Provosts, Vampires, occasional chipmonks and just once the ultimate - a Victor! This was on the south outskirts of Shrewsbury, the planes may well have come from RAF Shawbury? Oh, and I also recall studying the night sky with my telescope including Bennet's Comet in 1970.

  7. RMWeb Bingo. See if you can spot the following whinges in one days posting: H&S, forum running slowly, anything about Hornby, price of diesel, RTR pricing...
