I have here "Ladybird learners: Vehicles, Land, Sea, Air", featuring amongst other things, Concorde ("today supersonic planes take people all over the world") the Space Shuttle, a commercial hovercraft. How do I explain to my sons that these are just as much a part of history as steam trains? I remember watching the first Shuttle launch - what big feats will capture their imagination?

Really need to brush up on my Geography/International Politics...
Forgot about the old Eastern Bloc/Warsaw Pact countries too. They've changed loads over the past decade or so. Can't keep track of it all!
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Istanbul or is it Constantinople?
Byzantium. 😉
We had ladybird books on the Army, Navy & Airforce - think I will have to explain that we had those too in the not too distant future.
In the mean time I always preferred Ceylon to Sri Lanka
It's still a fupping Marathon, alright?
I've lost my green pen.

The tea always stayed as Ceylon, which just confused me even more!

Thought it was fun. Bouncy up front and so loud you need to use sign language to communicate at the back. Quick though. 35mins to Boulogne (or however you spell it).

Send her a stroppy email to learn her, but don't be surprised if her hubby pops up on a forum bleating about it.
Any desire to stay in Britain (not that I've had much anyway over the last ten years) and any desire to vote Conservative ever again, thanks to this new planning shite.
I really miss taking a 35mm real of film to the local photo processors, not recalling most of the photos I'd taken, then being thrilled by less than half of them and thoroughly disappointed by the rest. I usually paid over the odds for 1 hour processing, wandered around town for an hour full of anticipation, just to be completely disappointed, but I really miss that experience for some daft reason.
A decent Welfare state that pays proper levels of benefits.It,s time taxes were significantly increased to fund this.Otherwise the current trajectory of society will result in violance crime and ultimately anarchy.
