How many here used 4 star back in the day?

Four-star petrol was a high-quality leaded petrol sold in the UK until 2000. It was removed from sale due to its link to brain damage in children and because it was already banned in other countries. Lead Replacement Petrol (LRP) replaced four-star petrol, but was also withdrawn in 2003 due to low sales.

Incredible! Mrs Clint has loads of stuff left by her grandad from WW2 who served in the Royal Welsh then the Commandos when it formed. There's loads of photos from Burma,India and other places..plus other things. I'm in total awe at it all.
Brave people...

I follow a couple of old photo groups on facebook there is some good stuff on there amongst the piles of s**t but you have to look for it

Can't help but think the life ring is ill-advised and a parachute might be better

A question for the boat people out there, does this look low in the water or is that normal?

Looks about right

Pi55ed boat drivers in Flangofflen....whatever next?

 

[jof]

Looks about right

I also think it looks ok.
On a narrow boat you get the heavy engine at the back & normally the front has the cold water tank as a counterbalance.

Pretty much sums it up for me...
