According to FB, intention is 210 feet high, world record height for a bonfire.

However, following a not unexpected intervention by the H&S team, next year's bonfire will be in conspicuous colours and feature electric lighting.

Bill getting a bit excited at the footy today... Appears to be wearing body armour under his shirt, while the bloke behind him looks to be having a quick wank...

Been nagging my mum to dig this photo out for years.

It's my grandad (and granny, who died before I turned one), on his bike at some point in the 1940s. As it's wartime/just after, he's wearing his Fire Service uniform so he doesn't get done 😆

Beyond it being a Sunbeam I know nothing else about it. I'd love to know what happened to it.

I reckon, based on the tank shape, exhaust layout and tailpipe shape, plus the similarity in reg number to this one, that's it's a Model 9 (500cc)...

Nice!

Beamers were well respected, reliable fast bikes of the time.

I bought a plate from DVLA a couple of weeks ago (RA63 LDV) It was only £250 but it turned out when i was trying to put it in my reg doc, i could not use it as it made my motor look younger :( Luckily i had 14 days to change my mind and got a refund.

2nd from the left. He can leave the kappa out but I'd know his menacing stance anywhere!

This'll be a bit costly. Usually the hire companies turn a blind eye to minor damage, but not this time ;)

Even damaged sunroof somehow
