Both were retired military, with moustaches to match. The older one, regularly, used to sport a revolver and gun belt, when in town shopping. He got round the regulations, of the time, as the revolver had two cylinders, for different types of cartridge. He would have one of the cylinders in the gun and filled the belt with ammunition from the other type of ammunition. The local Old Bill, got to know him quite well and gave up checking. My brother worked at a local builders supplier for a while and had to make a delivery to their farm. When he arrived, not having met them before, he thought it would be appropriate to ask for a Mr B'stard. The immediate response was that "Bastard's the name!" They left to go farming in Aus, a couple of years after and life was rather less lively as a result. {Well in mid-Devon, at least.} Edited July 24, 2022 by jcredfer 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what sort of a fun time are you suggesting, sir? I ask because Cardiff's magic roundabout, familiar to local motorists and to truckers nationwide and beyond, is a well-known spot for picking up ladies of the night (or so, it is alleged, I am told). The road signs are art, an 'installation', but with the typical Cardiff working girls' ability to use whatever is to hand (sorry, could probably have phrased that better), they use the spaces underneath the signs to ply their trade (or so, it is alleged, I am told). The typical Cardiff council's sense of an appropriate location is moving a secondary school to a site just across the road, though of course the real reason is to sell off the school's existing site for housing. All good free enterprise market capitalism, from a labour council... The working girls are to be moved on, but we've heard that before; where to? To orientate, the central of the office blocks in the background is 'Brunel House', and Queen Street station is just beyond it. The camera is pointed northwest, and the concrete road bridge left midground carries the Docks Link road across the SWML. Shadows suggest photo taken about 11am BST. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Birmingham roads are for Brummies!) https://goo.gl/maps/HJBU7fnroYxuCRNXA In pre-motorway days, my childhood, we would have to traverse this mess to visit rellys in Tamworth from Cardiff. Fine running in through Edgebaston or from Tamworth on the A38, but father never managed to negotiate the centre without getting lost, and was vociferous in his opinion of signs clearly intended only for locals in the centre, through routes being ignored and complex one-way's defeating his sense of direction. Good to see traditions being maintained. I've always managed to get myself lost in Swansea centre unless I stick to Fabian Way/Tawe Bridge/Mumbles Road. They have a red brick building on a corner which they move about at night to different locations in order to confuse Cardiff drivers, which is very effective and always sets me en route to Carmarthen when I want to either go up the valley to Morriston, back to Fabian Way, or to Loughor for North Gower. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
