    Nice one Adam, good to see bulging shelves.

    And "nuts" is a word always worthy of an exclamation mark.

    Kind regards, always,

    Jim.

    P.S. "Nuts!"

    This is why I come here.

    A while ago I asked a woman to pull over after spotting a small local memorial. When I told her to drive on she said, "Aren't you going to go look at that tanky thing?"

    It was a 37mm anti-tank gun. :(

    We're stranded on an alien shore

    My mate posted this photo of a new building going up in the town centre.
    I instantly thought of the flak towers in Berlin & Vienna.

    Ok. I know it's not the same spelling but the firm on here always reminds me of the 10th SS Panzer Division "Frundsberg".

    We still often walk along the beach of the NE England seaside town where I lived during WW2.
    There used to be huge concrete blocks to stop tanks from the expected German invasion - how close it was. A few remains even now.
    Higher up, on the dunes, there were concrete look-out posts which have been demolished at last - must have been a difficult job.
    But the memories can't be demolished.

    A friend of mine got a covid vaccine today because she is in the essential worker category.
    I told her, "This is not the end, it isn't the beginning of the end but it is the end of the beginning."

    They I asked her if she knew who said that. She said, "Teddy Roosevelt?" o_O

    It does have a certain Teutonic sturdiness about it.
