service personel public bars

I always thought that the ruling came from the MOD , that servicemen should not be served in uniform , all servicemen are told this , booze in civvies only , and most breweries follow this up in staff /manager training ,
and I suspect its a wind up the ‘public outrage’ non story
As this has been in force since the IRA pub bombings in the seventies and eighties it shouldn’t surprise anyone , even more so in these heightened security risk days . it gets trotted out quite often .

Why not try one of your local ‘Technical Colleges’ , I’m sure they would be up for a challenge .
they have expert tutors to oversee any work done , worth a phone call

Manchester 60’s

Some Manchester aircraft shots from the shoebox archive , poor quality but taken with a 15/- 75p plastic camera the York is a late 50’s with the family’s box brownie .

Failing that you have not set the white balance correctly , I have found that ‘Picasa’ is a good program to improve the final image quality , using the ‘one click’ photo editor , the easy program ‘auto colour’ does an excellant job . and is free as well.

As a regular visitor to the Manchesters MOSI museum , Some unnoficial conversation/gossip was going on about the moving of the Shackleton , and that it was going back , this was early in the year , so there must be a grain of truth in it somewhere ,
Why spend tens of thousands of pounds restoring when the same type of aircraft in pristine condition can be moved at a fraction of the costs ! It was put in and erected so the engineering is already done

I will be sorry to see it go with its Avro Heritage , But as long as we get something new it will be good for the museum

Has anyone ever used snow chains , they have been around for ages , why not make it illegal to drive in snow without them [or snow tires] make them mandatory equipment for mot’s , like a breakdown triangle and spare bulbs , Hi Vis jacket , I know there a ****** to put on but if it keeps a country ‘going ‘ then why not , ……make it part of the driving test to put chains on a tyre [drive wheel s] it must cost the country Millions every year by Holdups .

For cripes sake get a grip:D

I know women drivers etc etc ! but hey I’ve seen em on Ice Truckers and they can manage as good as the Guy’s .:diablo:
