I think he would have been a good return character, or even a fourth man.

Was curious to learn more on the funicular in Scarborough. Interesting that they are parked overnight side by side.

I have seen some by Mentour Pilot but not for a while. Enjoy vids on planes, trains, ships, you name it but don't actively seek them out. Saw a few on container shipping the other week. If something is mechanical I like to find out how they work. After watching the video I posted was left...

Yep, happier times. No smart phone distractions. Funiculars are great.

I happened across this video yesterday afternoon. He does a great job of describing those switches and protocol in using them. Was not expecting the turn the video took about 2/3rds in (@13min) where he mentions he is also a counselor. How important it can be to genuinely ask someone "How...

Saw this on the interwebs and wondered if anyone on here was in Scarborough 1972 / 1973 time frame. Maybe you are in the video! Skimmed through it but not watched the whole thing yet.

Yes, pretty much. Mine is displaying in Imperial measurements.

Sounds like great fun. Wish I could be there.

Very nice, sure beats a bit of seaweed. Didn't Glenda or Barry mention something about using a bit of seaweed in the show?

Greets and Weclome, @Brad !

That must have been very frustrating for your mom, Adanor. Were you near a coal town or something? Hopefully not Wally's pigeons!

As pretty as it is up there, not sure I want that harsh a winter. I know it is not the same place, I remember seeing pictures and slides my dad took (still have them) when he lived in Michigan and the Upper Peninsula and going to college up that way. Shoveling several feet of fresh snow off...

Nah, an old geezer from small town 'burbs / rural-ish, I guess. Not big farm land and not big city either, a nice medium in between. Some neighbor friends had room enough for a few horses and further down the road other friends that had small farm lands. Not near the scale I imagine yours...

A thriller movie based on a play and taking place in Wales with Peter Sallis, Peter Vaughan and Fiona Walker. Saw it show up on Classic British Telly from the You Tube thingy. I've not seen it yet, but from the Wiki page it seems to be a different Peter Sallis than we are used to in LotSW...

Sounds like something they might listen / sing along to.

Anyone familiar with "The Glums" if it is worth a watch? I found it via Patricia Brake and 'young Pike' of Dad's Army. Believe it is based off a radio show "Take it From Here" from the 1950's. Also wondering about "The Kit Curran Show" that Foggy is in. Found them on Classic British Telly...

A bit late to the party on this one, haha. Was trying a search here for "The Glums" to see what people thought of it. Will try asking in "Gentle Comedies" so I do not muck up this thread. :-)

Marina (or her mom?) while Pearl and the ladies were having a hill side picnic to spy on Howard. The guys come by with a bath tub on their heads. Episode name escapes me... thinking on it. "Stop That Bath" :fp:

All the talk about the helicopters as well as car and ground traffic for the Silverstone event reminded me of a video I watched some months ago on TV coverage of the Tour De France. The logistics behind moving all those people from point A to point B for Silverstone and recording the Tour De...

That was the source of my confusion, newfangled measuring system. Had me thinking the country was a few hundred miles longer than it is. :)
