Yes I know thanks, in fact I used something similar to find out exactly what was being played on the radio the other day when I got in the car to go to the dentist, I didn't catch all of what the presenter said it was so I got myself on the interweb when I got home and got all the details then got myself on Discogs and ordered a cd.

They're displaying what's 'now playing' on the Gideon Coe show as I type, why it wasn't shown on The Freak Show, and it hasn't been whenever I've listened to that show lately, I don't know, if the capability is there then use it. Nobbers.
Technology differences are the problem I think. I've always noticed it's a problem with pre-recorded shows. Live shows are broadcasting the data as it's played. Pre-recorded probably requires extra input from the producer/editor? That's my guess anyway.

Yeah, I reckon you're right.

Though presumably if you're driving around untaxed and uninsured, then not having an MoT is just the icing on the cake. :smile:
A 'cloned' plate is the full house, couple of months ago a mate was sitting in his house when 2 policemen knocked on his door, his car had been 'clocked' at over a hundred miles an hour in a 30 limit* half an hour earlier. Pete told them his car hadn't moved for 3 days and they felt the bonnet ,that was stone cold plus it had been raining all day and the road under his car was bone dry, luckily one of the coppers said 'Cloned Plate' and when Pete asked him what he meant the guy explained and in a moment of inspired perception he asked them for a reference number which they gave him (actually a crime number) Good job too as a court summons arrived the next week for 'Dangerous Driving' but Pete was able to quote the number and the case against him was dropped

* it was on a section of Aylestone Rd, that used to be a major road but had the 30 limit imposed when they built houses along it in the 60's, still a wide 3 lane road though.

Every year the paper poppy i put on my dad's grave gets eaten by i presume insects! I don't see others nibbled,just mine! Why would insects eat paper? Yes,i know insects aren't that bright,but surely once they realise it's not a real flower you'd think they'd leave it alone!🤔

'Thick sliced bread' that really isn't thick sliced, atall.
'Medium sliced bread' that is actually wafer thin!

There should be a British Standard for such things..

I always buy 'toastie' bread,usually wholemeal. :ohmy:

Just measured a slice. What are we talking here? I'd say 2 thirds of an inch.🤔

Ok,but give me 'door stopper' slices cut from un-sliced bread any day!:becool:

Some makes do extra thick


and there is always the ecstasy when you find that one of the crusts is twice the normal thickness
and as you do all the cooking you can steal it and have it yourself covered in butter without your wife realising

(feel his Dad is looking down from the afterlife muttering "just like his Mother")
