I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Back under your respective bridges in the woods immediately, please...

Here's a lovely pic of the aircraft (Cor Blimey, I wish my missus had a heat bloom like that....)




Handy if you wanted to bomb it out of the sky😀

The Independent takes woefully bad and inaccurate reporting to a whole new level with the following information about the Spitfire which recently returned from a round the World tour:

But a team of engineers at Boultbee Flight Academy, in Chichester, spent two years restoring the original jet to its former glory, focusing on repairing rather than replacing parts.
Seriously??!!!!! The journalist should be sacked on a simple point of principle.

The dreaded greengrocers' apostrophe. I see the Apostrophe Society is closing down; they seem to be fighting a losing battle.
