Surprised nobody's mentioned Coldplay. Dull as ditchwater.

First thing I've ever won in my life, so will accept any prize😀

I'd guess at some type of Cotoneaster

Your mention of Collosus reminded me of a RN veteran I met and interviewed. He served on HMS Bulldog when U-110 was captured. He showed me some German documents from the sub that he retrieved. For anyone who doesn't know, this was when the British captured a German Enigma machine.

A topic I find interesting. By the way, with regard to helping other nations, the British gave a lot of aid to russia. Some of which came from Britain via America. 5000 tanks and 7000 aircraft including nearly 3000 Hurricanes and 1300 spitfires, together with radar sets, depth charges, bren gun carriers and millions of rounds of ammunition etc. Some British hurricane squadrons were even based in Murmansk, Russia for a while. Those on Artic convoys must have gone through hell, what with the extreme weather and not knowing if you will get torpedoed at any moment Obviously America had a huge impact on winning WW2. However, without The British Isles, they would have had nowhere in Europe in which to establish a foothold in Europe. Nowhere to station their troops, aircraft, ships etc. How could the allies have undertaken the invasion of Normandy or anywhere else in Europe?

Rush, one of my favourite bands. Hopefully, they might tour UK next year with the new drummer. 🤞

Nice to see a red squirrel at the bottom of your drive on a Sunday morning l.

John smiths, Theakstons, carlsberg all 3.50 in my local club

That's what I thought

No, not seen it chris

I was in Canada in 1995 watching the Ryder cup on American TV. Europe won, and what I remember was how terrible the American commentators were about Europe's win.

Can the LPA insist on an arborists report for notification works in CA? I don't believe they can, but stand to be corrected. The old boy who I've worked for many times is in his 80s and had filled in the form himself. Went to the local council office (not planning portal) Anyhow, he's sunning himself in the Mediterranean and the LPA rang him saying the notification has been rejected as there was no arborists report! No mention that the trees weren't clearly identifiable etc. As far as I know, it's a case of TPO or no objection to the works. Thought please

I've had my old Buckinghams since 1992. Upgraded to Velcro uppers and new leather lower straps. Will see me out

Was also in Circus World with John Wayne

Slightly off topic, but after WW2, my grandfather (Royal Engineers) was posted to Palestine and with the aid of a bulldozer helped clear the bombed King David Hotel you mention above
