The chicken/kebab shop near me used to be a Jardines pharmacy. They've still got all the stock photos of smiling couples, elerdly people confidently taking bites out of apples etc. stuck in the windows :D

It's actually Dyson's new mow-bot. (Expensive, looks nice, doesn't work very well).

There's a small Battle of Britain museum in Hawkinge, Kent which has, IIRC, two full-size fibreglass models (Spitfire and Hurricane). I asked about them and apparently they come in a kit to be assembled and cost a few grand each. You then have to paint them. I cracked an admittedly weak joke about the tube of glue being huge but the bloke just gave me a withering look and carried talking.

My sister and my neice live in Hawkinge. Next time I visit I'm going to check that out.

However, my neice is arriving here on Sunday so visiting the museum will not be anytime soon.

That screw you couldn't find.

When sticking all the crap back on the Suzuki after blowing the main fuse, I was missing one small screw. I use one of those magnetic tray but still lost the bugger. The floor is painted white so nowhere for it to hide. Nada.
Bollox...

Putting the tray away today...
