Even more so when they are mounted on a cart :eek:

An amazing photo of the construction of airship USS Macon. As part of the Goodyear-Zeppelin arrangement, the Luftshiffbau Zeppelin sent technical experts to Akron to train Goodyear employees in the design and construction of airships c.1930. Photo from Machinist museum.

My aunt & uncle used to live in one of the prefabs there in the 1950's. When we visited on the number 11 bus we always talked uncle Tom into taking us along with dad to the pitch & put.

I liked the way trams could be driven from either end and the seatbacks swivelled over so you faced the direction the tram was going

I remember Lancia hitting the news as rust buckets, most cars in that era ended up with rust compared to today. I remember my first car was a black 1964 Triumph herald convertible with red upholstery I bought from Spot Garage Bristol road Longbridge. I loved that car and learned to drive in it...

My worst ever car was an Alfasud Ti I bought brand new, a weird flat 4 engine where the pistons went sideways, it was a complete load of junk as Alfa Romeo tried to enter the small car market, I should have been suspicious when they only offered 6 months warranty on a new car. Yes it looked good...

I may be wrong but I get the impression that some if not all of those people in the back row are not family but are staff, see the young boy on the left, he looks rather unkempt as though his coat is hand me down and he can't button it up. The old lady at the back ( the housekeeper, cook?) is...

Wonderful photo's of a lost world, were those children happy playing on old bomb sites and building sites? absolutely they were because they were not mollycoddled like today so could climb and play anywhere they liked, now they can't even play conkers. I had exactly that sort of childhood...

It seems that's exactly what it is, I just did the test and it tells me it failed and suggests I shop for a new win 10 PC, seeing as my PC is an expensive high tech gaming machine, (the Nvidia graphic card alone cost more than an entire new laptop), I'm in no rush to suck up to Microsoft's...

Brilliant photo's Phil, those photo's show Mr Fitters Jaguar and also I can see the Bedford van that Albert Mountford ( alias the monk) drove us around in. When they flattened the Catholic school which was right opposite we could suddenly see right across the town, in fact we could see...

Email sent along with the list of staff and short history of the building that Dennis compiled

I'll email you for sure, Dennis has my phone number but we don't have his details, he also gave me a list of everyone he could remember inc the staff, just had a look but both you and office girl Pauline Harpun are not on the list :oops: He doesn't like any forms of social media so you can't...

I was there from 1961 and remember everything about that place as though it was yesterday, sometimes us painters had no work so might spend days or even weeks up on the top floor playing 'span it' with Dennis who was upstairs like a shot the moment Fitter went out. Span it was throwing a penny...

Hello Phil, Yes I remember you very well, when I had no work upstairs I would sometimes sneak up to the drawing office, usually the 'delightful' o_O Pauline was in there as well! Strangely enough I have seen Dennis twice in the last few weeks, he called in to see me here in Redditch as he had...

Takes me back to 1963 when we had catch a Red from B,ham bus station to Hendesford where we were refitting a Dewhurst shop, the first bus went at 7.30 AM and arrived around 9 oclock although we were supposed to start work at 8 it was impossible. Getting back we had to leave early to catch the...

A company named Boxfoldia still exists and is now making cartons in Redditch, it may have no connection to the earlier one though

I remember going to the cinema in Selly Oak or Weoley Castle in the 1950's and there was always an advert for staff wanted at Boxfoldia

It could also be Duckweed which can completely cover a pond in no time, it's now thought to be a new superfood for humans and not just Ducks. In the video you can see them harvesting it Duckweed for food

On the current google Earth view the water looks to be full of algae or covered in Duckweed

My second Prius had a similar problem regarding oil : A Prius which I bought new from a different dealership and after it's first service I noticed my regular trips showed an 8 -10 mpg drop. Looking on the Prius forums I see similar complaints, it's the wrong grade of oil used , should be 0w20...
