The Mr Whippy Mafia have gone to war over less.I once bought a car bearing the plate KEV8N. This was the late 70s, when plate transfer was less easy, the market was less-developed, and the car was a Lancia Beta saloon, which rusted away as you watched - an MOT failure at 5 years old. I accepted the generous px offer from a Lancia dealer in exchange for a newer one (which also rusted, but slightly more slowly). As for changing your name, when my father died we went to register his death, and found a birth certificate for a different name, which he had legally changed in 1938. No way of finding out why.

sir douglas Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) at least an inch here and up to 6 inch in the drifts in some places its interesting to me looking at how the snow is affected by the wind drifts across the pavement either side of this box but blocked the bit of pavement next to it and the snow has been cut away by the wind to the left of the box. 18-3-2018 snow (3) by Sam, on Flickr a snow cliff across the top of an embankment 18-3-2018 snow (6) sandal castle by Sam, on Flickr a ridge running parallel to a wall 18-3-2018 snow (2) by Sam, on Flickr the snow here has been strong enough to stick to vertical surfaces like road signs and put lines up poles 18-3-2018 snow (1) by Sam, on Flickr Edited March 18, 2018 by sir douglas 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Here we go again....... All's quiet down at Bournemouth. No trains have moved on these metals since the overnight 3in snowfall. Plenty of Cl.450s stabled. Meanwhile, down by the carriage washing machine we can spot four Cl.442s in store. Brrr. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
