    Spent a morning, when I was about 10, in Cosford signal box ( no longer there ) with my friend Graham , his Dad was signalman .My other friend’s dad was Station Master at Cosford Halt .

    Having, nearly , the whole St. in our married quarters lounge to watch the Coronation on our telly . There was only a couple of tellys in the street , it was 1953 & I was 8.

    I remember our TV was made by a company called Peto Scott.

    Most so called, foreign , cars built in the UK ( & Europe) have a great deal of British research , development & design in them . This is still an area where we excel.
    If we didn’t I dread to think what we’d be driving ??

    Yea your right , it is vinyl wrap —but as an ex spray painter who also worked for a sign writing company , I see the old trades slipping away ( Actually , a lot of our pub signs were done in vinyl ).
