When you get onto the A1M from Bedale/Northallerton/Leeming Bar, then you are given directions to 'The NORTH', which is further north than your current location.

So - if you drive from the south up as far as Bedale, you still have further to go until you reach 'the north'.....

Born and bred in Bognor Regis, we consider Goodwood as up norf.

[bauble]

More westerly i think ...!

Hehehe I was bored in lockdown so tried to see how far North it is..... from Glen Iris in Victoria!
All I got was "Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions from Glen Iris VIC 3146" to "Bedale Rd, Leeming Bar, UK".

Yours
Bored, Way down Sarf.

It's all relative. East Kimberley Regional Airport, in Western Australia would, I imagine, be referred to as being in the north of the country?

It all depends on roads too. I guess the East Kimberley Airport could be described as North West, but it all depends where you are. Even if it does have East in the name!

I can't believe it matters to any sensible person, where these obscure places are or how to get there.#
Probably all in lockdown anyway.

Talking of lockdown Baub, I see that Luton is overtaking Leicester in the infection rates, I hope you're keeping your distance?

And if you stood on the South pole , every direction of travel would be NORTH .

But the original problem with the slow Internet seems to have come from a fire in an exchange in Newcastle , [ which is way ooop norf ] . And that seems to be affecting the whole country .

But possibly it might be sorted in a few days & posting pictures again should not be a problem .

Do keep up Viv, rates are falling in the LU4 area, despite the
Town Mayor and several Labour councillors being in breach of strict social distancing rules, by attending a party in the town. Sadly all of Asian persuasion, and with a large Asian population, not very good role models.

I live in LU4, and residents were urged to take a test for the virus. I reside in the 'upper' end of the LU4 post code, far from the 'Asian Quarter' (there description), which is also LU4, our neighbour rang to make am appointment for a test, and was asked where about's in LU4 he lived. "Oh! You don't need to bother then." Was the reply.

At 83 I thought I must be the oldest person on the Historic Forum ......

..... clearly I am not!!!!!

Now that it seems that we must bring the curtain down on the Picture Parade, I in a fit of nostalgia went right back to the original post, and started going through the subsequent additions page by page. From a purely personal basis I was very pleased to read so many complimentary remarks, not just on my own ability as a photographer, but also on the Thread itself. Apart from massaging my ego, it has also proved to have been a real boon during the lockdown period, providing a lot of entertainment to the masses, and demonstrating the depth of knowledge amongst posters, with some excellent contributions from other snappers.

While reading posts I was struck by the frequency of answers from our good friend Mike, regularly commenting and displaying his own love and in-depth knowledge of historic racing, and saddened as their frequency became fewer and fewer, before his final contribution on April 7th. with a typical 'thank you' to Percy for a set of pictures of Mike. I have to admit I watered up, well am, as I write.

It has been fun and a rewarding experience for me, so thank you to the thousands of 'viewers'.

Baub.

Saw the PM Bob. Yes we've removed the attachment function but it's not your fault so don't feel upset. We can still link to images and display them.

Thank you Peter, I am pleased not to be the culprit.

I assume we now have to use the URL route?

Baub, I found the whole thread very interesting too, and I think that it displayed what (to me) a lot of the Ten Tenths community is all about. The opportunity to entertain and educate each other and to allow ourselves to work our grey matter either by bringing back memories, or by trying to answer the questions posed. This was (nearly) all carried out with great humour and civility, the only exception to this being some very rude comments from someone about the (admittedly) blotchy and out of focus photographs that I posted! You can also now add another qualification to your own list of achievements as due to this thread, you are now internationally famous as 'The Man from Luton who broke the Internet' (or at least, changed the way that pictures can now be posted on this forum!

[Gerard C]

We dont have to complain, it's been great and good to watch and we could enjoy till the end with the Z letter. Happy for that!
En route pour de nouvelles aventures, another thread may be bauble?

[bauble]

Pictures can be displayed on the forum, however, they must be on the internet to be able to generate a URL code to enter into the upload box.
The method is to select your image from your/a web site and right click on the picture to bring up a menu. Select 'Copy image link'. This is then saved to your computer.

To show the picture on the forum, do not click the 'paper clip', use the yellow box that (to me) looks like an envelope. When this opens up another box displaying the HTTP code, simply paste your URL into the box, and then
Preview post to check all is well.. You can add two pictures, however, this means repeating the first steps to generate a second URL code., but you can usually keep two site open at the same time. Your web site and the Tenths site.

If you do not have a web site, but want to add something to the new Picture Puzzles thread, you can email you image and question to me and I will post it for you.

Nice to know that at least two people don't like me on here.

Perhaps we can struggle on a little longer;

[Peter Mallett]

Hi Baub,

Those links are no good, you've mixed up the code. Can you send me the links and I'll try to edit them?
