kookabat,

I take it that you're in our honourable profession. How do you manage to keep track of all those blips ? Looks like herding cats to me !

"Three-dimensional high speed game of chess", we used to call it (all bull, of course !).....D.

Fareastdriver,

How sad ! Sign of the times, I fear. I had a look at 133 Victoria Road on Google Street View last year, looking a bit shabby as they'd knocked down the low wall between 133 and 135 to allow a drive-in to two add-on garages. It's curious to see that even as late as 1950 they didn't put a garage in as a matter of course. I did a deal with the gaffer of the "Eagle" for one of the pub wooden garages opposite at 5/- a week....D.

Getting near 4,000 Posts on this best of Threads. Hope Cliff, Reg, Fred and all (RIP) the others get a chance to see it.

Cheers, Danny.
