@PaulaAubrey2 There is still a regular service from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight by hovercraft. They can go pretty well anywhere where the terrain is reasonably flat - seashore, marshland, estuaries, wide rivers etc.

This is the time of the year when I update the family website with news and photos of the year's happenings, just when everyone is too busy to read it. Anyway, here it is, including a famous tower, 2 elections, music, art, hovercraft and spaaaaaaace! banting-family.org.uk/news_2024/
@ichoosemag Just been to the old Morrisons in Stirchley and it seems to be very much alive (unlike the customer I accidentally clobbered with a roll of wrapping paper - sorry)
@GrammarTable I cast my vote using a round, clumsy, British, index finger
Blocking the pavement is not a great advert for "supported living" @badparkstirch @badlyparkedbrum
@Likemil3 @CsabaSzekely7 @TerribleMaps Italia tiene una frontera de 0 km con Bolivia - el minimo posible
@NicholasTyrone They are not his to give away. They were stolen and rightfully belong to Greece.
@WoodinRivers The word "motorist" evokes an elderly bloke wearing a cloth cap going for a Sunday afternoon spin around the country lanes sometime in the 1950's. Whatever happened to travel rugs?
@Burns0369 Great pics! The snow wasn't at all deep but was still a great sight
@Burns0369 @B14News The temporary lights didn't work half the time. It was also a right pain having so many vans and lorries parked around the area, not to mention the merry throb of pneumatic drills...
It looks as though the disruptive construction work on the road and pavement outside the new Lidl in #Stirchley is at last complete, and the pedestrian lights restored to use. But I don't fancy walking across the store entrance once cars and lorries start going in and out
@B14News @Burns0369 My wife got a similarly cautious answer when she asked someone working on the site. Sounds like they’re aiming for early December
@klpbirds @John_Barach @GrammarTable I third it
@MikeGra70249355 @ethanwsj @GrammarTable In compensation, we Brits have to accept the spelling of “sulfur”, though it doesn’t affect the pronunciation
