  1. Talking of 'fishing'

    I have two of these in the shed that i gave £20.00 a piece for some time ago.

    Therefore, according to eBay, i now have £1200.00 sat in my shed !

    Happy hunting J. R. Hartley !

     

    Even I have one lying around here somewhere although mine isn't NOS

  2. According to the BBC -

    The figures show

    that 7,270 AFVs were sold in January, gaining a 4.2% market share

     

    Sadly not what it seems, despite the acronym AFV being used for a long time to mean Armoured Fighting Vehicles, there is a new kid on the block Alternatively Fuelled Vehicles. So you may soon see lets more cars sporting the window sticker my other vehicle is an AFV.......

     

    pity it would be nice to see more armour on the roads :-D

    I

    Have two of them and am about to buy another this weekend, a twizy a zoe and we are getting a second long range zoe.

     

    all electric...

     

    I have 2 bicycles, human powered.

    And I am a bit of a alternative person to some. :coffee:

  3. If we want to be really authentic the Hop farm dunnies should look like this !

     

    Well I actually have something similar in the shed.

    Its a wooden one man...Uhm, "deposit box":-D.

    You open the lid, open a door on the front, insert a bucket and fire away...

     

    And IIRC its genuine military modern-ish.

  4. My ancsestors were, why do you think Jersey owns England! :trustme: Anyway I thought you went via the River Medway? Off track a bit do you know the origin of the The Royal and Dutch navies Church Pennants? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennant_(church)

     

    Just another odd bit http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/The-335-Year-War-the-Longest-War-in-History/

     

    I love this forum simple questions go off in all sorts of ways. The Thunder Box and it's place in English History, including the excecution of Charles the First is a whole history in itself.

     

    Didn't know about the pennant but I do remember the 1985 thing when I read it somewhere that same year.

    You brits were so lucky you surrendered to us in 1986 before we started bombarded you with wooden shoes...

    What can I say, the Dutch were the scourge of the high seas...:-D
