I know, and I could weep for this poor country - sigh. It’s no use, I’ll have to emigrate, save I’m getting too bloody old. Besides,there’s the stash to consider…

she was a model, years ago before all this woke blasphemy started, there was a British newspaper that displayed topless models on page 3 of the newspaper.
a lot of young ladies appeared over the years and became household names; Tracey Elvik, Kathy Lloyd, Debbie Ashby, Donna Ewin, Maria Whittaker, Jo Guest to name but a few (favourites). They were more commonly known as:“Page 3 stunna’s” on account of their femine charms.
then feminists most of whom were butt ugly said this was sexist and eventually they stopped doing this to appease the highly vocal minority.
There were two other highly intellectual news papers back then, the Daily Sport and the Sunday Sport which also did this and they posted more than one picture of a topless girl which required them to have a ‘Nipple’ count in each edition.
@BootsDMS i know you secretly had a copy of the Daily Sport tucked inside your issue of the Guardian 
I’m sure if you google the names above you will see what I mean.

I assure you I wouldn’t use the Guardian to wipe my rear end.

@BootsDMS generally I feel that way about all newspapers now and haven’t bought one regularly in years.

No, me neither; I also boycott the risible BBC, and hardly ever watch the TV, and certainly not the news programmes. GB News, which showed such promise, is now just a strident, almost hysterical “show”, the latter aspect, alongside the “sofa” tosh at breakfast time is beyond the pale, and I abhor it.

Gosh, seems so many modellers here are right-wing and proud to insult their own country. I suppose I’m a minority being a U.K. Labour voting, union member, happily woke modeller. Guess il be shunned at Telford in November and all the shows in between. Anyway, great result in the Makerfield election.

My bike arrived in Bermerhaven. I don’t remember exactly how I got there. I know I took the duty train from Berlin as far as Helmstedt. There must have been another one that transferred to Bremerhaven. When I arrived, my bike was already at the statin, delivered from the dock. The Germans there said it had to pass inspection first, and wouldn’t you know it? The brake light didn’t work. They helpfully supplied me with the name of a shop that could fix it. I looked the bike over and noticed a spring that went through a hole in my brake pedal had magically come undone. The spring of course led to the brake light switch. No way that happened all by itself on the ship.
