    Roadside Finds

    I'm not sure this qualifies as 'roadside' but after a big antiques show when the weather was torrential, a lot of traders packed up and went home. I discovered, totally abandoned: 4 Art Deco home made rugs, a cocktail cabinet, a plaster wall pocket. I also got a red and white Dansette record...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    I gave a set of these to my friend, they were original 50s ones and the trade name for them was 'Spoolies' which I love. They did nothing for my thick wiry hair, but my pal has had better luck. K

    BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.

    I've been researching local Yorkshire pilots role in the BoB for about 15 years and to this day new info turns up! Christ, the English civil war was over 400 years ago but they still find new things to write about. On a lighter note, I like the slug balancing act! K

    Abandoned air fields in England

    No problem, I did have more from a veterans reunion we did there but I can't find them. One of my favourite things about Goxhill is outside what was the old cinema. All of the guys would come out having eaten an apple inside the cinema and throw it outside the door....so much so that there is...

    Can Anyone Recommend "Pearl Harbor"?

    Visually, it's stunning. But, like Titanic they forgot the script.... My great aunt was at Pearl Harbour, an Irish born nursing sister nun and she would never speak of it. Lots of missed opportunities. I almost think, that an HBO Spielberg/Hanks 10 parter with little known actors (minus...
