This thread has been hijacked and is probably far more interesting for that.

Dad’s Army remains a classic. As to realism, a number of the incidents portrayed were said to bebased on actual events. Does anyone remember the ‘battle for Godfrey’s cottage’? Probably the most powerful episode in which Mainwaring and Jones prepare to defend Godfrey’s cottage against an invading German force. Made you realise just what the reality might have come down to….

The actual name for the Home Guard was originally the LDV or Local Defence Volunteers, known coloquially as Look, Duck and Vanish.

Well, maybe not as much as you were…:)

Yup, just over 3 weeks in Thailand on a 747, my first ever trip on one, so will probably be the highlight of the trip for me!

Michael,

NO hotel? You’re sleeping on the aircraft?:) 🙂

I’d ask for some money back.

Just had a look at the WHO site and they express concern about air travel. They also have two different sets of figures on the site. Cases are listed as being 2,781 and 3,169 with the total deaths put at 111 and 144. It also seems possible that as the virus has flu-like symptoms and is recoverable from spontaneously that there may be many more people who have had the virus and recovered without ever knowing it was SARS.

I wouldn’t fancy sitting next to someone with a cold on a flight from Hong Kong.

Keltic.

Was the survey you are talking about which resulted in a 91% vote against the war completely impartial? With research today you have to know who commissioned it and whether or not there was an ulterior motive. Are the people creating the poll trying to fit the results to the wishes of their employers? In your town there may well have been a high turn out for the protest. But how many towns and cities in Spain saw no protests at all? It’s a matter of balance.

I think that’s a significant point. I’ve a nasty feeling that there are a lot more victims of this than we are aware of. Not necessarily deaths, but numbers infected. Anybody have any idea what the WHO definitions of epidemiology are? If this virus is mutating, as has been suggested, perhaps stopping air travel from the most seriously affected areas of the world might be a good thing. Understandably hard on airlines that rely on operations in the worst affected areas but this virus seems to thrive in teeming communities and is readily spread by air travel.

Alastair.

“Snapper I have to agree with you entirely , I’m Scottish but I’m also proud to be British , I don’t know anybody who wants to accept the Euro OR considers themselves European – “

Agreed, and I think those who think that Britain will ever consider itself to be an integral part of Europe to be deluding themselves. The English Channel has acted as an effective moat for nigh on a thousand years.

“I would go as far as say we have a stronger relationship with the USA than we do with mainland Europe.”

I think I’d have to agree there too, but I’m not altogether sure it’s something to be too proud of at the moment.
