  1. Does the mould growing on it affect the taste?
  2. That was a lucky escape?
  3. There's quite a few that I've seen and would love to have acquired. Especially when on holiday, in Malta back in the 70's I saw a completely original Ford E83W Utilicon with the seats that folded down into the floor. In Athens about the same time there were still a few WW2 VW Kubelwagens driving around and a 1930's Auto-Union drophead coupe.
  4. Perhaps he thought you were from Hartlepool?
  5. I'm thinking of some conversions, such as this:- http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=832
  6. Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. I put the bin bags out last night, they are still there now. I had forgotten that they are running a day late due to the bank holiday. At least they haven't attracted the attention of the local cats and foxes. I haven't drunk anything alcoholic for a long time, usually only at Christmas but for the last two I haven't touched a drop. Mind you the drinks cabinet is well stocked but hasn't been opened for gawd knows how long. Perhaps he likes LDC with a crust?
  7. In the UK Bell End is slang for a stupid person.
  8. Morning all from Estuary-Land. Weather forecast is for the possibility of snow over the weekend or at least wintery showers. Its going to be cold whatever. Arthur Itis woke up this morning but soon went back to sleep again. I remember Pan Yan pickle but I don't remember ever tasting it so I didn't remember it until Chris mentioned it. It met its demise in 2002 but there is a recipe on the internet, I was going to post it here but pH beat me to it. My preference in pickles is for the sharper end of the scale such as piccalilli but one of my favourites is pickled walnuts, great with a crumbly white cheese.
  9. I mentioned use by dates recently.
  10. Evening all from Estuary-Land. Been a bit busy, had an old bed to get rid of so I mentioned it on a local Farcebook group. Someone's coming to collect it tomorrow so I've been clearing the stuff thats been accumulating around it for the last few years. When I went to Malta for a Holiday in March one year the weather was quite warm with temperatures in the low twenties Celsius. However the locals were wearing scarves and overcoats whereas the tourists were in shirtsleeves.
  11. I was forgetting, they don't do irony.
  12. That brings back memories but not pleasant ones.
  13. You do not want to see the remake. The word dire seems inadequate.
  14. Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Cold hereabouts as well, not helped by the letter flap sticking open every time something is delivered. The last item through the letterbox was election literature for the forthcoming local elections. That it was from a party that I would never support in a month of Sundays just increased the niggle factor which even putting it unread into the recycling didn't satisfy. Toad in the hole for dinner tonight with broad beans and chips, that will keep me warm.
  15. This might have something to do with it. https://www.ft.com/content/f17a406e-021a-11ea-b7bc-f3fa4e77dd47
  16. As explained below (from the Hornby Lion thread).
  17. Such nuances are lost on the target audience anyway. The only RTR Toad that stands out is the Oxford 6 wheeler.
  18. That depends on the 'Hype' that the 70th anniversary of the films release receives. If Studiocanal intend to 'push' the anniversary of the film it will affect sales of models and other ephemera associated with the film.
