Sadly I have no pictures of either of the 2 angle boxes I had. The first was more rust than anything, usual places around the headlights, bottom of front wings and doors. The second started off as a 105e and then I fitted a 1340 classic engine from a scrap yard, lowered the front and back but it was a job to stop it! Ended up with the same amount of tinworm as the first but good fun for a while! Needless to say my road driving habits have improved somewhat since those days 50 years ago

Well of course, cameras had not been invented when I first learned to drive, so no pictures I'm afraid.

Gordon, I failed my first test because I put the cart before the horse.

In general, if you seek to have a rounded opinion on any subject, it's probably a good idea to look for more information from a wide range of sources. Especially where TV docu-dramas are involved with creating an interest in the subject matter.

Chernobyl. I remember I was working at Sellafield when that went off. Also recall the panic stories about not eating lamb or beef if it came from Europe.

We're still here as far as I can see.

Anything that tries to explain the story will ignore the point that in Soviet times there was no ability to think outside of the box. Hence the emergency actions were initially by a book that was written without experience.

I may watch it as it's a good example of how systems go wrong when politicians get control.

You invade Ukraine for a dose of radiation?


On a positive point, I suppose one has to be thankful that Ukraine has so far failed to become part of Europe. Wouldn't want Chernobyl to become a European budgetary problem (irrespective of any Brexit considerations ...)
