    Battle of Britain Sunday

    Just been to a Battle of Britain Service and got to wondering how much freedom we would have had on sites like this if we had lost. A pretty humbling morning which reminded me that those in the military "serve" whilst those outside of it "work". A proud morning to be in uniform with the back...

    Not Just No More Suppliers

    Seems like few trades/branches are happy with their names, those able to see it may want to take a look at IBN 30/08. I would have put a linky thingy but dunno how and am too old/lazy to learn. Frankly I couldn't give a shiny sh1te what I am called so long as I get paid on time.
