Sarasota, not far from the Ringling museum

I worked with a Aussie back in the 80's he use to kid me about the 10 pound tourists to Australia He also said the term POME stood for "Prisoner of Mother England" Now having said that I have come across and meet so many English abroad it's a wonder there are still people living on that...

That's not a knife, this is a knife. A line used by many, many a time myself included

Hi Sue thanks to many there are lots of pictures that both you and your mom can look at together, many will take Mom back to Aston and the Holte bring back memories that she will share with you.

Of course there is a museum there is always someone looking for the "then" it never surprise's me the number of folks that want to hold collect steward our history and the range of things people will collect and display. The trade bike takes you back to your to your youth and brings back long...

I would much rather see the old trade bike painted like the Co-op, Mason's or Dewhust's I understand what's gone on and why. As someone who was a museum curator I was always looking to present exhibits in a true light I would have loved to see the bike in a real world condition, right after...

L/h drive ?, That driving position looks like a long way out there, and so much behind the rear axle. Who is the manufacturer ? And is it to be a bus ?

My good Lord how far a chassis has traveled (pun unintended) from it's early days the leap from the Wolseley to a Daimler.

A muse on the fuel thing did they use that gauge or did the tank just get topped off Then was a mileage calculation done for fuel consumption and a audit for miles traveled each day. How many glass's or tiger tails did the BCT get each week ? Ha Ha

Super picture showing some great detail In the back ground at the rear of the chassis is a pile of wood, but looking it appears to be a pile of temporary seats for a driver position. Now what are all those round objects to the left of the seats. How about that fuel gauge in the tank, I'm sure...

Seems like a lot of departments, a octopus perhaps, how much duplication of resources ?. How many mid - managers too many ?. How many times have we looked at three guys and only one digging the hole then one other in the shelter making a cuppa. Back to light poles

Makes sense and of course what I was told in college this would lower the central walkway along with the COG .
