Does anybody have a taper reamer that I could borrow? 6° taper, 18/19 mm at the narrowest end, any shank.

What a fascinating account of the beginning of the school day and the conditioning you underwent in order to take your place as a young women in society. If you were/are not a catholic then you would not understand...……...I went to The Beckett where we were conditioned accordingly so have some idea of the "mumbo jumbo" . I bet your catholic chums just sat about and told each other jokes ……………..as long as they had not been contaminated with non-Catholic dogma/cant then they would be OK. I was in an Anglican Scout Troop and instructed not to participate in the prayers at the nd of the meet

Yep school was not particularly interesting to me...………………………… learnt more there from the hardened socialists that had fought their way up the Co-op greasy pole than I did from disinterested teachers who taught to a strict GCE syllabus.

Co-op Offices in the 60s. I had a holiday job there for a couple of years.

Again! Brilliant to see …………. I hanker after these landscapes. You are so lucky Compo.

Fabulous thank for posting this. I love this area for scenery and walks.

Wasps are a nuisance however they are also important pollinators; if we can it is better to co-exist.

“Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them.” ― Bertrand Russell, New Hopes for a Changing World

There were a number of variants of these made with probably the most common being the Swallow body. I am not sure who made this one; the rear end looks as if it could be a fabric construction in which case it might be a Hoyal's body. I do like the ACE discs covering the wire wheels. From the Minor web site At least 24 separate British coachbuilding companies manufactured bodies for the Morris Minor chassis. A number of these companies produced more than one model, the most prolific being A.P. Compton (Arrow) with 8 models and a total of 6 different body styles. CMS, Gordon En

I don't have a truly pretty car at the mo! Anyway sounds like an excellent bash...……….

All the very best both of you. You didn't want a wedding car then?

Changed vital fluids and serviced a 1929 Chrysler this am!! Goes really quickly but suffers with fuel vapourization in hot weather. Mowed lawn and felt virtuous pm so early pint tonight!

Possibly an Argyll or less certainly a Swift??

No not a Talbot checked that with those that know...……………….. Swift ? Argyll? there were so many small manufacturers then. Charles Rolls made 3 small cars like this before he got together with Royce. I will keep looking...………..

Well funny that it is on Talbot Street ………...the flairing where the radiator sits on the chassis rails is reminiscent of Talbots …………….. I am doing more research.

Bullnose Morris Prince Henry has a more pointed rad and the fluted bonnet

Shame about primaryschoolteacher ………. I agree. Ian123 you know what an odd world we live in where some will flock to diminish the nicest folk, others, willingly (though not always knowingly) will ignore the most appalling things . This is why we are led by a selfish elite and why we move towards Brexit.

Great times with cans of Red Stripe that you opened with a pointed opener...……………..

Shebeen It’s a hot and humid summer in 1958 St Ann’s, Nottingham. Tempers are flaring and Teddy Boys are on the march. Jamaican couple Pearl and George are helping Caribbean migrants to cut loose by hosting a forbidden party at their shebeen. Pearl has dreams of opening a restaurant on the Wells Road. George, a retired boxer, has hung his dreams next to his gloves. A young interracial couple are falling in love and figuring out how to be together. As tensions mount on a night filled with rum, calypso and dancing, and with the shebeen under threat from the police, everyone i

You going to Playhouse next week? Looks good ………… I and I got tickets

Thanks Ian123 it was OK until the queuing at Woolaton Park then it got v. hot!!

I was there in a blue Alvis opposite the burger van I think the B section had more cars than spaces so was down a bit with other B exhibits. Anyway Pianoman found us and we had quite a natter; he had to put up with boring stuff about whit metaling as a guy came round with his card and I will need some doing soon! Great weather and some fabulous motors and bikes. Next year perhaps...……….. if I can keep going.

Classics, vintage and veterans will be there MargieH men and vehicles.

Nottm Autokarna is on next weekend. Sunday 3rd June at Woolaton Park. I hope to be there assuming my faithful Alvis behaves as it ought. Exhibit B45. May see some of you!

Looks a good proposition. I do like tools like this and enjoy messing with them. I recently got a Murad Bormilathe............an interesting thing. http://www.lathes.co.uk/murad/page3.html I think my old ML7 is going on Ebay soon.
