  1. Kedleston...? Are you near Derby, or is there some other reason?
  2. The lights worked, but the barriers stayed up. This is a crossing at Wem, in Shropshire, monitored from Cardiff, apparently. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-31694929

  4. There's a fair chance that he's sound-fitted, though - with the CV set at 'max'.....
  5. I went to the RAF Museum at Cosford today - they have a large model Bear hanging up - must be about nine feet long. http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/
  6. Bostik took over the Evode factory - although it says Bostik, if you asked for directions, few people would know what you meant, it's still called Evode by everybody but the factory management.... There's a good range of stuff, both Evostik and Bostik, plus many other sticky substances. http://www.bostik.co.uk/diy

  12. Tupolev fitted some of the 124s with oversized escape slides.

A box will appear - insert your own photo from your computer - or click the right button at the top to insert the url of a picture from the internet. To be honest, I use http://imgur.com/ for my own pictures on here - just paste in the img link from the site when you've uploaded your picture to it.
  14. Might have been better just to tie 'em to the drum..?
  15. A happy ending to a story with "bus" and "fire" in it....
  16. To be fair, it goes on all the time over here. http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/may/18/horse-carriage-man-tries-board-train-pony
  17. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-31638003
  18. If it had only been taken with jhb's camera.... http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2010/sep/27/anish-kapoor-kensington-gardens-sculpture
  19. http://www.incrediblethings.com/video/worlds-fastest-nose-typer/
  20. Try looking at it upside down..?
  21. Even in the 1970s, when I started at a large factory in England, there were five levels of canteen - more stratified than the Army...
