It just dawned on me....
There are often folk moaning and groaning about how hard up they are and how tough life is nowadays..

Yet I canna remember the last time I went in a loo and saw cut up news papers in there

Things can't be that bad !

Nowt to do with being hard up, in T'olden days only bog roll was the izal type stuff that didn't clean your arse but merely spread the shit from your pucker to your coccyx.
Nowadays bog roll is soft & fluffy & velvety that caresses the brown stuff & sings it to sleep as it disappears round the s bend

Please don’t visit my local area again without 24 hrs notice, any form of law enforcement here is welcomed, except moderators who need to give notification so that orderly sniping positions can be manned. Stay in your own area if it’s as good as you bang on about; whilst I’m here get that guttering fixed.........

Can you arrange for the new A27 bypass to go round Worthing rather than that recently approved to go round Arundel - where it doesn't really seem to be needed in any event.

Did you see any of the famous Tangmere ghosts ?
No, but the Remembrance Garden was full of emotion. Touching.

Quite thought provoking when you drive in and realise you are parking on the perimeter track of the airfield.

Did see an unopened tin of Vim though. That brought back memories.

It's well worth talking to the volunteer staff at Tangmere. Most are ex RAF and have some great stories to tell.

I had the pleasure of chatting to one guy while he was showing me the inside of a Hunter cockpit. Turned out that he'd flown that very aircraft when it was in service.
And the ex Lightning jockey who mans the Lightning simulator could have kept me there for hours with memories of flying that aircraft.

Totally agree.

Bizarrely there was one fairly young volunteer who knew his stuff but didn't know when to stop. Fortunately I saw him with other victims and spent most of our visit dodging him!

Sadly the Lightning simulator remains out of order, reading between the lines it might be deceased for the foreseeable future.

If you like this kind of stuff I throughly recommend a couple of hours here....

Tons of exhibits from crash sites with their stories, again volunteers who have amazing stories to tell.
