    Hmmm, shows the “activists” up in a good light….

    What a nasty bunch of individuals. They were probably hoping that one of their number
    would be “knocked” over by Farage’s car, in order to grab another headline.

    I also bet Cameron wished he hadn’t launched into another tirade against UKIP the other day.
    In view of what one of his candidates has been up to.

    Great set of photos. Nothing like a bit of nostalgia.

    Someone lent me the film, “Water for Elephants”

    Well worth seeing if you haven’t already.

    Tremors

    Giant worms lay siege to a small American town.

    A true cult classic!

    My favourite bit is where they are in their gun room, and the worm is coming through the wall.

    What you have to remember, is that England is divided into two distinct Areas, always was, always will be. Anything North of the Watford Gap, is considered unworthy of mention, However, anything Sarf, of the Gap, where most of the effluent live, gets, and I give just ONE example, better house prices, better wages, OOps, that’s two, and perchance a better education, dammit, thats 3………….
    Lincoln .7.

    I don’t know if that’s still the case nowadays ?
    Although I can (just) remember a holiday we had in Scotland, in 1986, staying at a number of farmhouses.
    In one of them, there were three other couples staying there, all from the North of England. When we said we
    were from the South East, the atmosphere became very frosty.

    I seem to remember a flypast of seven DC-3s when I was last there.

    It will also save the embarrassment of comparison with the simply splendid high-speed rail services to be found on the continent.

    Moggy

    On the continent, you have bigger distances to cover, over mostly open countryside.
    I still don’t see the need for HS2, unless it is to widen the London commuter belt ?
