…on & on! Man with smart phone visited this week to take only electricity meter readings, not gas although both are supplied by BG. I had submitted readings two days before.

Cottesmore’s runway had heavies making night landings last year or perhaps late 2023. Wittering was used more recently. This could be used without too much upgrade maybe. The road access via A1 would be a great benefit in emergency. Peterborough has the mainline rail connection. So Wittering upgrade...

Stroll has withdrawn from this race due to a wrist injury. Insert appropriate innuendos where necessary.

Can’t the team use the spare driver?

Whatever happens, anything has got to be better than last week!!!. My daughter loved the qualifying!!.

Which team does she drive with. .

Just an opinion, F1 has become a farce, not racing at all.

Thread drift I know but for the record, no, Walpole Suffolk is in the east of the county and nowhere near Fenland. Your Walpole is probably the one I remember, near the coast? Lowestoft way - ish? Fenland is now the remains of the old RAF Sutton Bridge. The Fens might not extend over to Suffolk. ht...

Well worth a visit and a pause to remember.

Of absolutely no importance to anyone, as a part of my engineering apprenticeship I spent two days hands-on in the workshops at Bourne. As a result was later a Gofer in race control at Silverstone. Few people can say that they have driven a tuned Minivan on the circuit, only part of it and Not on a ...

Error corrected , thanks

Another year goes by.

It would make economic sense to increase the use of Holbeach. That said, i have to declare an interest in increased traffic.

It's alleged that it's less 'legged it' and more 'leg over it', and with a subordinate no less.

One night in the wardroom of HMS Victory I had an encounter with a Wren officer who was above me… in rank!
