Re: Capri Assembly Line
Dress up in ill-fitting blazers and trousers that are too short
Who will masquerade as the teacher though

Re: Capri Assembly Line
Hmmmm it looks like they do, but it's run by a contractor called Eventbrite. And it's £30.
They do 'Educational Tours' too, from £16 per pupil, but I think we're a bit old for that

Re: Capri Assembly Line
I wonder if we can do tours round the JCB Factory! I'll look into it.

Re: Feeling safe at night
In some parts of the world its dangerous to leave your home, a good friend went to Brazil for work last year. in the evening he got dressed up and was about to leave the hotel and was stopped by the doorman, apparently if he went out of the hotel on foot he would be abducted and his family would be...

Re: Capri Assembly Line
the first Capri's off the line Tut tut! :lol: Andrew. Oh I was well aware :D But there is a rule whereby a word may not appear correct or become changed without extra punctuation. So, it could become Capriss, rhymes with kiss. See? That's why, you will note, I usually add the apostrophe :) See me a...

Re: Public Information Films
Some of the sillier PIFs we have today..
Man's dog gets him killed
Man's bike, nagging wife and low intelligence gets him killed
Lad's walkman, blindness and changing the rules of how level crossings work to fit the stupid narrative gets him killed

Re: Public Information Films
On the subject of train safety, I'm fascinated by these street running trains that run in some of America's small towns. I would imagine that the H&S police in the UK would have a fit with massive freight trains mixing with traffic and pedestrians on the public highway! :lol: BRZkMoi2at8 Andrew...

Re: Feeling safe at night
To feel safe as I live on my own I have a cricket bat under my bed. The bastards would be knocked out of the ground if I could get up quick enough. Well this is the insane thing about the law today: if you have that cricket bat for self-defence, you are on the wrong side of the law. If you happen t...

Re: Feeling safe at night
We empower people in the wrong ways too. A feeling of entitlement won't save you from a criminal that does not care about society or the rules. But you're not longer allowed to carry a weapon for self defence, like the old "life preserver' leather bound, weighted cudgels from the Victorian era....

Re: Capri Assembly Line
There's just something about car assembly line and factory pics. This is Halewood January 1969. Makes you think doesn't it, I know my Capri came from the Reich, but it was still built by a bunch of men, all in one factory essentially. Today it's bits from here, computers from there, shared bodies, ...

Feeling safe at night
..it's getting more and more common to hear this phrase. "Women don't feel safe walking through a city at night", for instance. Telling people they should "feel safe" is some of the worst advice society gives out. There is a huge difference between "feeling" safe and ac...

Re: A funny forum passtime...
As my olde mate (God rest his soul) used to say when you feel embarrassed or you're unexpectedly on the spot.. "feel the rush!"
Love the pub analogy. Was it Oscar Wilde that said: "there's only one thing worse than being talked about... Not being talked about."

Re: A funny forum passtime...
I wonder how the members would feel if/when they pop back though and see that they're being talked about? :? Same way you and I will feel when somebody dredges up one of our posts... there are a few (most to be honest!) I've made 10-15 years ago that are so cringe to me now.... I could delete them,...

Today's winner should have gone a lot further than it did, I remember that thread, but I don't remember the colossal levels of utter tripe that the birthday boy contributed to it, nor "the owner" (yeah right) of that stolen Capri chastising us for not dobbing in this Simon Cox guy to the c...

Re: Public Information Films
So now we have cringe inducing child friendly ones. Boooo. Give me people being electrocuted by substations and mangled by trains any day! I always remember the "Robbie" film that was shown in schools. The one where the children were playing on railway tracks and one of them got his foot ...
