Setting aside your unnecessary indulgence in
childish turns of phrase, the matter is _STILL_
sub judice despite today being the 2nd anniversary.
These matters are covered in my second publication,
"No Justice In Wiltshire!" (Subtitled, "Should known
sexual perverts be allowed to remain in teaching posts?")
which is in an advanced stage of preparation.

good. Now a collection like this really would be worth £12.50. |

Clean as in "safe to view from work".

I am probably preaching to the converted but my favourite closed museum has never been open 8^)
See http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/Museum/museum.htm
I have great admiration for whoever built this virtual site. Some of the engine records are the best anywhere.
Just wander around and enjoy yourselves.

Museum of Childhood (short walk from Bethnal Green tube) is great |
fun. B/f is a Miffy fan and they had a Miffy's 50th birthday
display. We trotted about like loons pointing out toys we remembered
and toys we'd wanted. Upstaris is about childhood over the last
couple of hundred years. |

I went to the one in Edinburgh once. I didn't like it but girls (of all |
ages) visiting did. I was lucky to find a chair and watch the world go by. |

I was astonished and bemused at the Edinburgh Museum of Childhood to
find toys that I had had which had since become museum pieces. Weird.

That's what happens when you get old. I see appliances (both IT-related,
and domestic) in museums, that I remember buying when they were new.

|

Mr Gore (ex US vice-president) in his film on global warming was a little
biased - he stated there is a relationship between global warming and CO2 -
he forgot to say that if you don't just look at the last 25years but the
last 10,000 there is actually an inverse link between them and the "since
records began" for a lot of the GW figures are from the 1800s a time we had
very cold weather, If one goes back a couple more 100s of Years we had
vineyards in't north
And no 4*4s to blame then :-)

A shake-up in how vehicles are categorised for insurance purposes
could well mean that 4x4 drivers will pay more for their insurance.
For the first time, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) is
taking into account how much a car weighs to determine its insurance
group.
It's not environmental reasons that are driving the changes, though -
instead, insurers reckon the heaviest models are the most likely to
cause severe third party damage in collisions.

No, that's not it. Simbars are in Bristol.
http://www.simbars.co.uk/
Not much of a site, but at least it's got the contact number.
