yeah I checked it out because by 1994, it would have well and truly been on the DVLA computer

so I was curious to see what was going on, because a car never actually drops off the DVLA computer once its on there, regardless of what the public facing 1st party tool tells you!

The Guadiana river near Badajoz, 1963, according to spanish twitterers. Admirable levels of H&S*.

It'll have been exported as I think it's a Cooper S . They like those in Japan (they like mini's in general).

Kings Cross, and what's there?

A Railway Station, and where do the trains go from there?

That's right, Edinburgh. No un-gallant comments from the back please.

And more Edinburgh. No politics please.

Posh bird, drinking Perrier in the 80s; that's like gargling San Pellegrino these days.

Someone's posted a panorama from more or less the same viewpoint on google maps; click here.

Do you know the background to this photo? Occasionally you see a snapshot in time and wish you knew more about! Amazing photo.

This is the scene today - without the benefit of a tele lens.   Castle completely hidden by trees, but you can make out the church tower and Clee HIll.

Sorry, I don't. It was just a photo I stumbled upon on some way-back-when website.

Not often you can say this but Whitcliffe and Ludlow Castle do look a lot nicer without all of that vegetation in the way. I did an excavation at Ludlow Castle slightly over a year ago, very interesting.

Pancake race. Bettws Shopping Centre, Newport, 1975.

Happy Pancake Day everyone! I've just had mine, with Golden Syrup, they were ace.

[JimH]

Sad because golden syrup on anything is just wrong wrong wrong.

[Asimo]

But the syrup trade had some nice trucks.

However, Pancake Day racing was never the same after big-money commercial sponsorship got involved.
