You do know, don't you, that Corrie is a serial documentary? ?? Met the guy who played Albert Tatlock checked into the Strand Palace Hotel at the same time as me back in the late 1960s and was indistinguishable from the character he played. Audrey Roberts is Sue Nicholls-Eden. Her father was Sir Harmar Nicholls, later Lord Harmar-Nicholls, the former Conservative MP for Peterborough (1950–1974) and MEP for Greater Manchester South (1979–1984), and subsequently a life peer; she is thus entitled to be addressed as "The Honourable Susan Nicholls".

The new Top Gear. Excellent watch. Finally ditched the car bit to become the new "Men Behaving Badly" Much much better than Clarkson etc.

Neil Innes is no longer an urban spaceman.

What at?

Nah, just City being magnanimous and helping out the less fortunate at Christmas.?????

As a Station Road regular 1957 to 1966, my favourable shirt design too. Clean, simple design. If anything deserves the appellation "iconic", it's that shirt.

Oh, yes, and parental responsibility, too.

Quite so. We don't need a police service where cops cant swear and where cops have to be polite and friendly to crims. We need a police FORCE!!!!!

There are so many on the road because possibly the owners restore. The exhaust and lights just to pass the test.. Doubtful they have declared the modifications to their insurers.

Don't think so. I don't have one but can see the article.

Deliberately? ??

Wandering around the city centre of Mannheim this evening, prior to tomorrow's visit to the Speyer technical museum. https://speyer.technik-museum.de/ The streets are filthy, dimps everywhere, outside bars, myriad take aways, apartment blocks . Mannheim hads an excellent pedegree as a city, having been destroyed and rebuilt three or four times. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannheim This Germany. FFS have some civic pride you residents!!! ??????

This morning, in our hotel room in Mende, France. Shaun the Sheep... In French. Well, when I say in French, a sort of silent movie in French, plus one or two things in French where that could be done: restaurant menu, the odd signpost. Could not change the shop front that said Fish and Chips, or everyone driving on the left.... ?

Erebus: the story of a ship. Michael Palin. Excellent read so far, page 138. Based on the TV documentary. Recommended.

That's not a rant, though.
