Welcome to the forum Cyril

Welcome to the forum Mark!

Welcome to the forum Den, looking forward to your posts!

Disappointed! no streaming link! I hope it's going well!

I like driving fast! but I don't! (animals, weather and now retired, and partially fuel costs!) school zones are a must to be speed controlled but other roads should be assessed on their safety, construction, noise, weather, environment, traffic flow etc, driving fast on a slow road and slow on a fast road can be equally dangerous! BTW what are the U.K. age restriction for drivers? old and young.

It was my understanding that the 70 mph speed limit was introduced to control fuel economy! and safety was just a coincidental spin off! I believe most drivers are courteous and generally obey the speed limits but some drivers will always believe they are above the law and will continue to drive reckless, speed and cause accidents but unfortunately aren't usually the victims! in my opinion they are the ones that should be targeted and have their vehicles confiscated! Yes many areas should have their speed limits reviewed and adjusted and not just be a cash cow!

Looking forward to the start, where can we find a link and what is the schedule? will this be it? www.synergyradio.co.uk

Have a happy birthday Canny lass!

Thank you Canny lass, no I'm not a grower just a eater! my Father-in-law used to be a grower, (Market place club, Blue Bell etc) his seedling growing rituals used to start just after the Xmas in the greenhouse, here our outdoor growing season is too short but we can occasionally buy them in the grocery store, they are pretty small, we chop, bag and freeze them! I remember that there were different judging standards around the area, if your leeks were too large or too small for your local club they would ask their Marra to put them in their club! I think you had to register early to try and stop this, the prizes were pretty good for the 50's and 60's TV,s etc one of the sneaky ploys was to "try†and sneak into a rivals garden and water or feed their leeks to make them split!

Types and sizes: Pot Leeks: Must have a blanched (white) area no longer than 150mm (6 inches) with no limit on the circumference. Intermediate Leeks: Must have a blanched area of 150-350-mm (6-14 inches), with no limit to their circumference. Blanch leeks or Trench Leeks: Must have a minimal blanched length of 230mm (9 inches) and can go up to 600mm (24 inches). The minimum length for blanch leeks is 350mm (14 inches http://woolshed1.blogspot.com/2009/11/leeks-their-growing-and-showing.html http://www.nvsuk.org.uk/medwyn-williams-vegetable-grow-show-25.html http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-news/evening-chronicle-news/2011/09/05/winlaton-pals-leeks-win-turf-hotel-leek-show-72703-29365713/

Funny Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin never mentioned it I was trying to be polite by pointing out that Germany would not be testing an "aircraft" as such three years before the Wright brothers first controlled, powered flight in 1903! but in 1900 they were in fact "floating" around in airships or "dirigibles"

#10, Zeppelin (airship, Write brothers first flight 1903!)

Welcome to the Forum Paul, looking forward to your new book!

Not quite the same, but possible! In about 1975 while working in Livingston during a mild thunder storm we saw "Ball lightning†it was a very bright light like a car headlight, within seconds it grew huge and appeared to explode! scared the c**p out of us!

Happy Birthday Pete, Have a great day!
