    The Tank Museum / Tankfest

    We are looking at trying to visit next year but Dorset is not familiar to me (would be our first UK visit!). Harder to look up (at least strategically) accommodations and transportation the way I would more populated areas. Asking inputs for anyone familiar with the best way to get there/around...

    Too Many Antiques shows on TV

    We have the U.S. version of Antiques Roadshow and a Kentucky-based version of same. So far so good here with not too many. I don't count the shows where they cut the lock on delinquent self-storage units and auction the (often unknown) contents as "antiques" : )

    Weather. BBC get it right.... about time too

    Checking out their website for a forecast. Very fascinating. https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/forecast/gcw8z2kke#?nearestTo=Holmfirth%20(Kirklees) For those across the pond curious about all the Offices in the U.K. (as I usually just hear of Home and wasn't aware of Meteorological), this is an...

    The Summerwine.net music thread

    Gary Moore's solo work loomed large in my teen years thanks to a good friend's insistence that he and everyone in the car get a thorough GM education. Corridors of Power and Victims of the Future specifically. Complimented a steady diet of Greg Lake solo albums of which GM played.

    Live Aid at 40

    My favorite of that era was the Ronnie James Dio-led Hear 'n Aid. Metal was a pariah on the airwaves at the time (funny to say that now) and the effort was obviously not to the same scale of We Are the World but in some ways it sent a stronger message about peoples assumptions.

    Did I Imagine It, Or Was This Tune Quoted In An Early Episode?

    Sounds like First of the Summer Wine.

    Gentle Comedies

    Leroy is the level-headed strait man to his uncle yet seems to be the opposite juggling Beth and his other lady friends : )

    Church bells by Sids.

    Amazing coordination. I would struggle to pay more attention to my bellmates (as opposed to listening to the delayed outcome) to get the timing right!

    National Maritime Museum (Greenwich, UK)

    Has anyone visited this location? Years ago, in the Navy, I worked for endless hours over a navigation product called a Dead Reckoning Table (DRT). It was a huge(ish), intricate glass-and-wood table - practically a work of art. They really were impressive pieces of engineering and craftsmanship...

    The Sun has got his hat on

    I think we can officially say we have our own monsoon season here now.

    How accurate a statement is this?

    On this page it says Emmerdale was the actor's only credit.
