    He’s a prat regardless of this.

    He certainly is, can’t stand the bloke, or that other twerp Hammond.
    Does saying one word make you a racist though ? Of course not.
    It’s a story about nothing. The BBC will never get rid of him, the Top Gear brand is worth too much to them.

    The last I heard was that consideration was being given to moving the Lanc to the National Air Force Museum of Canada at Trenton for restoration in their workshops.

    Who is going to pay for any restoration project ?

    ukip never mentions all the British citizens that chose to live and work in and around Europe, correct me if I’m wrong, but won’t leaving the EU screw them over…?

    I don’t see why it should.

    I can only assume that all those who are anti UKIP/Farage are happy with the terms of our membership of the European Community ?

    My personal experience is, talking to people from various walks of life, is that they will vote UKIP in the upcoming
    European elections, but wouldn’t vote for them at local government level. Make of that what you will.

    Do you need a medical first, or is that only needed when you apply for your licence ?

    Do UKIP have ‘racist’ members..? Yes, in the same way as all the other Party’s do………………….

    Which was a point being made on the radio yesterday. The media don’t mention those in the other parties though.

    …….I don’t give a toss about the shortcomings of UKIP. What I DO care about, is that they are causing the overpaid fat-cats of the Westminster Elite to do something that seems, hitherto, quite alien to them, the which is to actually LISTEN to the Electorate. Now that HAS to be a ‘Good Thing’…..

    Couldn’t agree more !

    It happens at all levels of government and local government.

    At a council local to me where my wife used to work, a chief executive had his wife working in his office. She was made
    redundant, and given compensation way above anyone else would have received, and way above what she was entitled to.
    She was taken straight back on in another role, but with a higher salary.

    I think it might work if they did something along the same lines as Dad’s army, but with completely different characters.
    Then we wouldn’t get everyone making comparisons, but I suppose then they couldn’t call it Dad’s army 🙂

    All the comments about the bad things about UKIP ,well lets do some likewise digging into some of the Labour,Cons,LibDem candidates past and present –not so pretty either.

    Quite right, it won’t happen though. I wouldn’t mind betting that over the next couple of weeks there will be a lot more
    attempted muck raking of UKIP, by the major parties.

    The failure to find any evidence on the surface, said the Australian prime minister was disappointing and baffling and he admitted the plane may never be found.”

    Which unfortunately may well be the case.

    Just how many Johnnie Johnsons are there ? It seems anyone in the RAF with the surname Johnson, was automatically called
    Johnnie. I find it very confusing.

    The way the media and leaders of the other parties are picking up on every anti-UKIP story they can, tells us one thing.
    They are really frightened of them.

    None. Dixon’s wife died in an air raid and the other leads were Constance Fraser and Ruth Dunning. I think you are confusing them with The Huggets – Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison and a very young Pet Clarke.

    That’s the one. :eagerness:

    Both hands are raised – of course!! And at street level – The Appleyards, The Grove Family and Dixon of Dock Green!!:D

    Which one of those had Kathleen Harrison as the female lead ?

    Hands up those who remember Ivanhoe? And Richard Greene as Robin Hood.

    You forgot William Tell. Conrad Philips who starred in it, also had a part in an episode of “Robin of Sherwood”
    The chap who sang the song in Robin Hood, was Dick James, who started the DJM record label.
    Funny how you remember these things 🙂
    Ivanhoe must have been one of the first things that Roger Moore did. You never see any clips of it on TV though.

    I used to love watching the Whirlybirds.
    I even had the board game, although never actually played it.
