Saw a furry 'shark' cover a week ago.
I saw a couple of girls at Boxhill last weekend with stick on things on their helmets - couldn't quite see what they were though: one looked like a big artificial "bow" (like a bow-tie).
We tow cars off all the time at work, get them to a place of safety. Electronics do stop us often though, if the engine won’t start quite often it won’t let an automatic come out of park and the electronic hand brake won’t release. We sometimes use plastic skids on them babys! We use a tow strap, still break them but stronger than a rope! The alternative is closing lanes on the motorway.Jody wrote: Thu Mar 20, 2025 8:33 am Someone did already explain why you don't see cars on tow anymore.
The brakes and steering very often require the engine to be running before they work properly.
I can imagine that newer cars may well not be able to be towed at all duse to wheel speed sensors and electric hand brakes etc etc

Who remembers the sweet tobacco? In reality it was just cinnamon flavoured coconut strands, but it was bloody lovely. Came in a pouch and everything.

Funny enough, I'm putting a quiz together and on the table round I've got 20 ad slogans from days past. I'll post it here.Count Steer wrote: Thu Mar 20, 2025 10:32 amI remember it.gremlin wrote: Thu Mar 20, 2025 10:24 amBuggers would never stay alight.Saga Lout wrote: Thu Mar 20, 2025 10:15 am Sweet cigarettes.

IIRC it looked a bit like a pack of Golden Virginia but it was darker than the actual tobacco.
We sometimes have a 'things they used to advertise on TV' conversation. Paraffin (think pink), Bigga peas, cigs and pipe tobacco, petrol (put a tiger in your tank), Ariston white goods (on and on and Ariston), endless, really crap, ads for soap powder etc.
Possibly, however it was black.Horse wrote: Thu Mar 20, 2025 10:36 amButterfly wings?Rockburner wrote: Thu Mar 20, 2025 9:27 amI saw a couple of girls at Boxhill last weekend with stick on things on their helmets - couldn't quite see what they were though: one looked like a big artificial "bow" (like a bow-tie).

Apparently scurvy is rearing its head again, mainly due to the carnivore/keto diets!
I am sure that my Mrs has an iridium visor on her Simpson Bandit helmet.
Saw all three last Sunday.
