Every time I read the title of this thread, my first thought is “Why would anyone want to move a Benny Hill replica?”…

I remember seeing British comedy actor Bob Todd on ‘This is Your Life’ many years ago, and he was obviously emotionally scarred from his WW2 ops in Lancasters, and didn’t care to talk about it. He looked visibly shaken just being reminded of it. They took him to one in a museum, I seem to remember, and he steadfastly refused to go near it, let alone go inside.
One of my favourite actors, the late Jack Palance, got his craggy features from plastic surgery after crashing his B-24 on a training flight in Arizona in 1943. He was a student pilot…

According to the latest advisory graphics, the western half of the UK and Ireland will be out by noon tomorrow (4th)…

Not quite –
During the last Ice-Age, which only ended around 10,000 years ago, the ice covered everywhere except around the Milford Haven area, and even that would have been uninhabitable being so close to the ice edge.
Only the south east portion of England was unaffected, and so has been inhabited longest in the UK, which is why the only really old human remains (500,000 years old!) found in the UK are from around Sussex.
Every other part of the UK has seen human settlement after the ice diminished – the Cornish, Welsh, Irish and Gaels are Celts, originally from around the Basque area of Spain, whereas most Scots are descended from the Picts, who originally migrated from Scandinavia and northern Germany after the ice retreated, but before the North Sea became flooded…

I often wonder – would that magnificent generation who gave up their own lives so willingly for Britain in WW2 have been so keen if they could have forseen how it has turned out?
I don’t think William Blake’s ‘green and pleasant land’ included becoming a huge melting pot of foreign cultures who, by and large, despise us…
