No, just fashion. Twins became more and more meh, and big moulded lamps got cheaper to make and easier to integrate into body designs.

Road Tax was scrapped in 1936. The duty we pay now goes straight into the general Treasury income, and is increasingly a tax on pollution. Whether that stacks up when comparing vehicles is moot of course. My 'dirty' diesel attracts an excise charge of £20 pa, where many later, 'cleaner' gasoline...

Not much wrong with a well maintained/well sorted Stag. Now, the TR7 on the other hand (not Cov built, I know, but what an abomination).

I won't hold that against it. Just.

Always quite fancied a P5B Coupe too. Great engine, and chunky good looks as well. Mate of mine had a P6B which I often used to borrow. Loved it, but the 5 was that bit more 'special' somehow.

Have had one or two of these, including a VW splitty van. It was only an 1100 as well. Probably the slowest thing I ever owned, and that includes a Ford Pop! Also had an Imp Super. Fitted a Nikki twin choke and a stage 2 head and cam. Spent most of the rest of its life under a cloud of steam on...

And Bunny Wailer. Bugger of a day today.

Bluesman Chris Barber :(

Oh no. Another of the good memories of my youth.

Looks like a bottle of shite supermarket cola! Hope it tastes better.

Not forgetting his pivotal role in Carry on Matron. Lol.

And Uncle Albert (and how could anyone overlook Stan and Hilda's muriel ? ;) ). It used to be a good comedy overall. Nowadays it's just one depressing nutter storyline after another. No idea what my dragon sees in it, but at least she's now abandoned the utter dross that is East Enders.

On the subject of beery fruitiness, this surely has to be worth a go Days Of Creation, 7% Barrel Aged Sour with Raspberries 375ml bottle Fck me. Just noticed the price...

Don't forget Ena. She'd have your guts fer garters...

Timmerman's rings a bell? Something like that.

Might have to look that one out. I always used to enjoy a Belgian Kriek back in the day, but haven't given it a thought for ages.

Yep. Been checking all my new perennials that have been overwintering in the cold frames. Most seem to have survived. Forgot I'd left some dahlia seedlings in there though. Damn. Meant to bring them in, but too late now - the frost got them. I'll put some more in tomorrow and get them on the hot...

Odd innit? I'm still not sure which is correct.

Just back from a 90 minute wander with the mutt. It's beautiful out there. Feckin' frosty at sparrow-fart though.

I'm really not into stouts at all, but all this chat about these chocolate ones is making me fancy a go. Stoppit. (I'm on a liver-revival period at the mo so remind me in about three weeks ;) ).
