In Loving Memory
The Wallaw, originally the Palace, 9d downstairs and 1s 3d upstairs and we got our crisps at the little shop on the corner opposite. Sometimes we even dared to go to the Prince of Wales up there in Bedlington, most times though we went to the billiard hall at the Station, if there was no table available we went to the 'tute behind South Row.

You are so right CK, radioactivity has always been there as you say. "The chemical element krypton, whose principal source is the atmosphere, had a long-lived radioactive content, in the mid-1940s, of less than 5 dpm per liter of krypton. In the late 1940s, this content had risen to values in the range of 100 dpm per liter. It is now some hundred times higher than the late 1940 values. This radioactivity is the result of the dissolving of nuclear fuel for military and civilian purposes, and the release thereby of the fission product krypton-85 (half-life = 10.71 years, fission yield = 0.2%). The present largest emitter of krypton-85 is the French reprocessing plant at Cap-de-la-Hague."- Shop Pronunciation

I believe it, even old U boats scuttled by the Germans have been salvaged. "All steel made since the detonation of the first atom bomb in 1945 has contained tiny amounts of radioactivity. This is because the atmosphere now contains trace amounts of radioactivity. The steelmaking process involves the use of large amounts of air, which transfers the radioactivity to the steel. Instruments and equipment used for measuring radioactivity must be free from extra background radiation, so post-1945 "new" steel cannot be used for these purposes. Instead, pre-1945 "clean" steel is used. The steel is obtained from the scrapping of pre-1945 ships, and a considerable amount has been obtained from the German ships scuttled in Scapa Flow at the end of WWI. Obviously, steel obtained from these relatively limited sources is much more valuable than normal steel. The existing sources for "clean" steel have mostly dried up, so the salvage of the U-Boats is economically justifiable now. The submarines will not be melted down after salvage, rather, plates cut from the hulls will be used in their current form." http://www.hazegray.org/faq/smn7.htm- Eeeeh, Isn't It Cold?
I thought I heard a distant clinking sound, must be the tinnitus acting up again.- Suggestions

Perhaps getting down on our knees and praying to the goddess Tyche will help, even sacrifice some Bedlington terriers in the market place.- Alnwick
I'm good Jean tu, how are you? we could do with some of your Australian summer right now ...lol- Suggestions
Well boss, how about giving some of us older folks an area we can chat in peace, keep these morons and hotheads out so we don't have to read the crap they bring? There are certain persons always must have the last word (even when it doesn't make sense), immediately apparent whenever anyone opens the main page- Alnwick

Yes Joe, back in the UK, inevitable I suppose all things considered, I was really struggling to settle in Canada some of the reasons you are probably aware of. Been back here now since April 04, live in a tiny bungalow without a view, no dog or garden and no drivethroughs where I can grab a double/double. But I like it, it's home, I see my daughter and grandkids anytime I like now, after ten years absence that is a luxury for me. Glad to hear you are ok and I look forward to seeing more of your postings- Alnwick
