I believe temperatures fell as the skies cleared.
Sorry to pee on your strawberries Col but Texas A&M university think low cloud cover was probably responsible. Leeds University and the Met Office claim it would need 200 times the number of aircraft and their contrails to produce the 1 Degree difference that was seen.

It's quite a popular complaint that big business is polluting the planet and it is, BUT there is plenty of evidence (EPA et al) that vehicles produce 75% of CO in the atmosphere and anywhere between 50 and 90% of greenhouse gasses.
So all those wishing to give up travelling please join the queue over....... Oh there isn't one...

How to win friends, influence people and get them on your side.
They don't need to CT and that is not their intention, they don't care if you agree or not. What they are doing is causing as much havoc and disruption as they can to try and force the authorities to take action. Direct action, civil disobedience, call it what you will, has a long history and if properly organised is a powerful weapon. It's working in France ( Gilets jaunes), it worked for the suffragettes, it worked in Tunisia and started the Arab spring.
I don't necessarily agree with them and caught in one their little episodes I've no doubt I would be as vociferous as the next in my condemnation. I would however resist any move to ban all protests outright.

The Ilkeston police station was build with Mr Blair's PFI as a cheap way of getting a new station. It's now rumoured the costs are making the pips squeak in the budget.
I wonder if Carlton is/was the same, it's about the right era and if so selling it off was the only way to get out.

Pride in your work (for me) took a huge hit through technology. What used to done through calculation, experience and negotiation is now done by pushing a button with certain criteria entered and a ready made list of materials. costings and timelines drops in your lap a minute later.
From an employers point it's faster, cheaper and needs only a quite basic understanding.
At the finish engineers were told 'no engineers are required, we only need technicians' the difference being the size of the salary.
I was disgusted when they introduced an 80/20 rule. so long as 80% of the jobs went to plan then that was acceptable.

I think they were afraid, quite rightly I would say, that some would start it with the chuck key still in it. Never seen it done but led to believe it can be a bit spectacular and quite damaging, specially to people.

did you have to put a quarter inch chamfer around the edge of the square key hook
Never got as far as that PF. All I has was a flat piece of mild steel. Didn't even get as far as making the hook. I really did spend the whole term filing just that one piece of metal'
The lathes were as you say for decoration only, never saw one running all the time I was there.

The metalwork class (as it was called in my day), was I think, a Mr Mander (although the name Britten rings a bell). We disliked each other intensely. Take a two inch square of mild steel, file it till perfectly square and braze a hook on it, voila! a coat-hook. Wrong!. At least one corner was always out of square by a couple of thou and 'do it again'. A whole term doing nothing but file until it was about half its original size and never completed the project.

How come everyone remembers their teachers names? I went to five schools, the last being Fairham, did A level at evening classes, have attended two Universities and can recall maybe four names out of that lot - and that's on a good day!

Marcos! that's the name I was trying to think of!

I think all those foreign buses are weird as the steering wheel & doors are on the wrong side, unless you're in Malta, Ireland, Oz or Kiwi land.
Or Japan, India, Cyprus south Africa...

Nice pics but I note not one of them appear original. I always thought the idea of concours was as original as possible.

I'm not saying contrails have no effect they do but research suggests that they had no appreciable effect for the period post 9/11 in the area we are talking about.
