    Injection Moulding.
    Used to build everything from PC’s to Refrigerators.
    Try and find something in your house that does not incorporate some form of injection plastic.

    Isn’t this going to be like the banning of Frankie Goes To Holywoods `Relax`.
    Everyone not vaguely interested will now trawl the web for info.

    p.s. It is possible that KBP HQ is actually Kennington Borough Police HQ but I would say it’s still wartime vintage.
    I wonder if the original Police Station was bombed out because what was the actual Police station further down the road was replaced with a new building in the 70’s. So it’s possible the Police used the library as a temporary base?

    Ladywell Road near Lewisham. Supprised this has survived as it looks like white wash.

    Peckham High Street. I wonder how many people realise the railings are actually stretchers.

    If you look close you can see the handles and feet.

    Some pics, more later.

    Kennington Lane library. I’m sure this was the Home Guard HQ.

    Also try to think of the amazing spectacle. Hard to imagine on a sunny Autumn day that hundreds of enemy aircraft would have been passing overhead. I live near Blackbush and would be interested what happened here. Did any aircraft do battle or fall to earth?

    I used to live near Camberwell and can remember shrapnel damage to an old Victorian lamp post near by. The Shelter signs at Brockley Rise. Stretchers made into railings. The home guard sign on the local library. These still exist today and I have pictures if anyone is interested.

    Surely you can’t be serious?

    I am serious and don’t call me Shirley!

    I haven’t been to Old Warden this year but I think the Comet and Hunter make this a must!

    It astonishes me. She’s a woman, she has breasts.

    Like a large proportion of her generation she’s happy to sunbathe topless.

    She is entitled to some privacy – this long lens stuff is out of order.

    So no, I don’t see it as a ‘stupid thing’ she’s done.

    Does any of us think less of her for the fact she sunbathes topless? I certainly don’t.

    Moggy 😡

    While I agree 100% she isn’t just any old woman, she is Royalty and should have a higher standard, if not better body guards than the average chest waver.

    I’m sure if I was spying on her topless from a distance I would certainly have a long lens on.
