    I think it’s a 2. There is a serif at the start. In those days, any bolts protruding onto the plate face would be dead central and/or disguised with the base colour of the plate. So the Serif isn’t a bolt.

    JB, I initially thought of Olds because of the Tipper type passenger seat, which folds up as a Boot (Trunk)…the part her legs are in being the lid. Also, for some reaso I associated the cross-sectional curved mudguards with Olds.
    I quickly changed my mind to the Humber.
    But, as stated, it could be a Heinz 57 of a Car!

    Yes the Nimrod 4 programme went SOOOOO much better after it moved north 😀
    Obviously FRA caused ALL the problems that subsequently hit the Nimrod 4 project :rolleyes:

    It was a pig-in-a-poke from day 1, but Flight Refueling didn’t help matters. They should never have been allowed to be in the “Finals” of the bidding process, let alone win it.

    Not sure how far out your ‘London’ sites go but at Dunsfold we were most definitely paid less than those at Warton.
    Incidentally the Dunsfold closure was premature and political,there was no shortage of Harrier work at that time and of course our beloved Hawk had already been ‘stolen’ from us.

    Really? What level of job?
    The people I worked with; Commercial, Sales, Marketing, Business Team etc. were on more.

    “Any more” and “this month’s bath”, surely?

    “Month” not taking a capital letter due to not being a proper noun, and “month’s” denoting the possessive rather than the plural “months”.

    Live by the sword, die by the sword…… :p

    Hoist by my own petard!
    I’m usually a geek on the possessive apostrophe too!

    … you’ll find the two for a tenner at Sainsbury, Tesco and M & S, who (were the people that) started it.

    Works for me in contemporary usage.

    Moggy

    …….as they were the shops that started it.
    Is the nearest correct form, but that isn’t actually good.

    something like: –
    …….as they were the shops responsible for pioneering it.

    “Who”, is wrong in the written context as questioned.
    Live with it babes.
    The language changes / fluxes with every fashion…why they even allow changes to the Oxford (Don’t even mention the Websters, an insult from the Americas).
    I don’t care anymore, I’m off for this Months bath and then bed. I leave the situation in the hands of people that cannot see – for example – that to “Pre-Order” is actually impossible.:diablo:;)

    Why :confused:

    The only error I can see is the comma after M&S

    Moggy

    “Who” should not be used as a predicate nominative in the written. It can be used in the spoken to suit a dialect, but still isn’t strictly correct.
