It is described as part of the door mechanism indeed. It is strange as most of the anti-flood doors at tunnel ends are rather substantial steel ones and I would have guessed dumb waiter too ! also this was claimed on the caption to be the NORTH End of the SOUTHBOUND Northern Line tunnel at Charing C...

Diesel also attributed to the initial vehicle at the Luton Airport car park inferno. I dont know what research the fire service do on modern diesels. Almost all have tubos and are very high revving compared with stanleys trucking and Peugeot 405 days. Injector rails under very high pressure can spli...

London a lighter fog, heavier than a mist. Seems Colder today and looks to be heading to colder temps over the next days toward end of December unless winds switch around to come from south or south west

close , not lift shaft so far as i am informed (indeed the station it is at didnt have lifts) but a bit more reasoning on the materials used and when installed. I assume too there are at least two , possible four of these.

Related is Coventry as a place too .

In respect of TMS Blofeild of course related to the chap Ian Fleming knew and used name in one of the James Bond stories

I have alluded to this in text of one of my recent rather long posts

One wonders what the reported argument he had earlier was about.

I doubt it. I am sure that the BBC regards itself above the law. I should follow up a complaint against them but it is soul sapping when I have other life things to do. They often allow speak from ignorance as if it is fact and I think some of the documentary and "real life" segments of so...

We voted for Brexit , why is Labour turning this back. Erasmus is a Greek European and Turing a good old englishman. the world wide scheme was better allowing our more favoured british loving indians in to study. Which is what the brexit party wanted

Out of Order again from my planned virtual sojourn but the present day Lambeth North station on the Bakerloo Line fascinates me. I should find some photos of the wider area , it stands on the south east section of a cross roads , facing off to the north east quadrant of Westminster Bridge Road one t...

Much of UK politics I wonder if I should bother following.
Anyone keeping an eye on the sucess of Reform in Local Government
Badenoch reported as actually getting in some good scoring points at PMQs
Will Leasehold Reform ever get delivered

To me every driver going into Nelson from Burnley needs to be stopped for drugs and drink tests.

Generally had our tree raised on a stool effort for many years.
Others dont like it but the running gag in Mrs Browns Boys Christmas Specials of rogue christmas trees and decorations appeals to me.

Anyone want to hear a Christmas Cracker Joke ?

Apart from the fact that it wasn't aired in the US so no electors there saw it. He still won the election so how he can claim that it damaged his reputation for the election is beyond me. It should be noted that the Beeb didn't alter any words that he said just reordered them. How you can damage a ...

Or still, just, a Television ( did he ever do radio?) Commentator. A player for the county of Yorkshire when the criteria for playing was to have been born in said historic county

Sort of. I think it might be bigger than the image appears to show (but I am not certain)
What might it be keeping out ? And why the design detail

What , and more pertinantly , when ?

Two women apparently.

The strange desire to haul external foliage into a small urban house or flat baffles me. We did it one year , needles dropped into the radiogram and was finding them years later. Christmas Trees and Cats dont mix either. There is a form of therapy I guess adding greenery in some places - the resin s...

This was mentioned in the general press at the start of December. This version is a bit more technical and less `hyped up', though it is a significant step forward in understanding how viruses infect our cells... `Scientists capture flu viruses surfing into human cells in real time' Science Daily S...
