Re: All smoke and mirrors

@ don den: Did you ~~nitice~~ notice that Base Camp started Trek #29?
As a Survivor and part time Base Camper, we cordially invite you to our camp ground
and should like to see you put on your Wishbone hat with a Red Rose and a White Rose in the band rose

We wouldn't mind if you brought that heavy duty grub machine
dating from the War of the Roses either.
biggrin

Re: All smoke and mirrors

About time to set off.
They are very good at breakfast here at Travel Inn, Poole. smile

@ Edwardian: Think I'll look up Waterloo on my sat-nav and swing by tongue

Rein in your rhinos, here I come cool

I have deviced a trick:
devilish

Making Rosie wide and broad, straddling most lanes in the roundabouts devilish

This shall probably earn me the fourth and fifth finger ....
See you later.

Re: All smoke and mirrors

Will do, Ted, Sir!
tsk, tsk, running around and losing his Lion, tsk ....
Arrived in Dover having made good time.
Was mighty tempted by a sign pointing to a memorial for the Battle of England just outside Dover.
Picked for scrutinising in security.
It's mighty hazy and we do have some waves, but my breed doesn't mind. Now: I Am Sailing

Re: All smoke and mirrors

Evening all

Yes there was that time that the Battle of Britain was a physical concept. Now the international bankers can make or break us with the ease of my making this comment to you.

There was a time when I made that ferry journey twice a year but now I survive on the memories and no longer have the burden of a car to worry about.

Re: All smoke and mirrors

What was at the end of your ferry journeys, blanco ivan?

Headed for Waterloo, but as I lost an hour crossing back to Europe,
I chose to check in at a hotel in the outskirts of Brugge.
Tomorrow I'll go looking for the lion.

I noticed, we greet the Brits with a series of roundabouts - we're no better, really blushing

And we do not have road signs reminding of which side of the road to drive in as you do. Not good at all. blushing

As I leisurely rode along in the right side of the road, some things trafficky came to mind:
You had the most smashing signs with a hologram effect in one region - forgot where. Whauw!
You warn about something to look out for in 380 yards. Not 500 yards, not 400, but 380 straight.
You warn your regulars about "New road layout" - this irregular wondered how it was before it was new.
You warn your very habitual regulars about "New road surface".
I'm sure a couple of them will say:
"New! Hah! I liked the old one much better. Could I have that back, please?"
You warn about "Weak bridge" - and I ask myself how weak? Will it carry Rosie and me?
Well, I miss you and your British ways
more than I would have thought I would when navigating those roundabouts.
It was a great adventure for Rosie and me - well, a fairy tale, actually. We did it, you Brits, Rosie and me

Thank you.

Have you uploaded any of Backbeat's music to YouTube, GM?
