@YesterdaysBrit1 Don't knock them. My Dad was a mechanic & the warranty jobs on those in the early 80s paid for my first foreign holidays. Goodbye Cleethorpes & Hello to the South of France.

@Pott_Shrigley_ I have often wondered when that place closed. It was like that when I saw it in the early 90s.

@uhf_satcom We used to have those in the Ferranti 286 PCs we ran the PCB design software on at work in the early 90s. I hate to think how much they must have cost.

@iAmJoshHunt @FUDdaily It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. The first wave of the baby boomers are hitting the care homes now but we are still 10 years away from the bulk of them appearing.

@m0cvo @ElecNotes That looks very nice. Someone has put a lot of work into it. I hope they enjoyed using it. Any idea if it was built to a magazine design or similar ?

@m0cvo @ElecNotes Probably a material called Paxolin. I have seen it used on some very old work jobs.

@whitesundesert @BLKSR71 I don't think the country could run to £10 needed to fix that up afterwards.

@hotcaferacer @wipljw What came before GOLD81 though ? That was much noisier than the KC-135. I can only presume it was whatever they had dragged across the Atlantic.

@Ascii211 I played with them for a couple of weeks but they always seemed to have used up that days Bitcoin allowance. Then I decided the Bitcoin wasn't never go to be worth anything anyway so why bother 🙄

@Pott_Shrigley_ My Grandmother told me that by end of the war that security was rather lax. The local pub 'The Three Merry Lads' was effectively the camp pub & that inmates even worked there as barmen.

@SY_Supertram Yes my First driver has just accepted my tram ticket. But perhaps you should just tell people no trams are running. Certainly nothing is going through Gleadless Townend.

@Pott_Shrigley_ Yes but the 97 bus has a yellow sign saying it has a video videomat machine. Hours of fun can be had photocopying the contents of your pockets :)
