  1. And after each stop the damaged police vehicles need expensive repairs or in a bad case replacement , say 3 at a couple of thousand for repair and no write offs , if this happens several times in a year that all comes out of the budget and not insurance , so next year the police part of your council tax has to be raised cue howls of outrage about how ' we never see a policeman ' . So do you still want them to play dodgems with a several £30,000 or more cars ?????? Written as someone who worked for the police for 34 years as a mechanic , so I've seen it from inside .
  2. If the truck got snagged in the upper metal work as the span pivoted down then that could limit the depth . I can imagine a vehicle hitting the water will still be quite bouyant and not sink as rapidly as the bridge structure .
  3. And it's dark then . 😎
  4. Sadly not mine , just a photo from a web site .
  5. Under construction , 2021. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@39.223352,-76.5201995,3a,75y,290.29h,84.45t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sTZ7QWQjGLOk9zuSzaFwPIQ!2e0!5s20210501T000000!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
  6. Sorry but I've been at it again , found an OS map of about 1950 that shows a very extensive internal rail system . I thought remembered reading about it on one of the info sheets , when the map opens go to the left side and middle and zoon in to get the detail . A link to the map here . https://maps.nls.uk/view/101725352
  7. Maybe in these enlightened times it identifies as female , you cant be judgmental now . 😎
  8. Oh Dave , I think once again you have missed the joke due to the way some words are used over here , the pun is that 'won kee' can be used in the form 'wonky' , an expression meaning out of line , not straight , at an angle . So the comment , not on the level is the joke , not that the place doesn't exist .
  9. Further to the video above about Betchworth if you open it on the Youtube site there is a lot more info on the site with dates and more detail.
  10. Also just found this Youtube site tour, no audio but it does give a good view of the other kilns .
  11. I've done a bit more Googling for info about the site at Betchworth and found some details about the pictured kiln , it's actually a Smidth kiln , the Dietzsch kiln is lower down the site and mostly overgrown in the Google shot , but this page gives more detail on the positions . When the map opens zoom in to see more detail . https://mapcarta.com/W324253085
