I encountered one very "ept" bike crew one day on the Big Island. Having a Sunday drive around the island, I was passing Captain Cook when I saw a couple of Harleys waiting to join Route 11. No hurry, flashed the headlight to let them out. There were about 30, and I followed them round to Hilo and it was a joyful noise all the way. Nice crew, and gave me a friendly hang five when I turned off at Keaau junction.

 Just finished watching "Serena" (1962, 59:22)

on this channel -

Paul's Classic British Films and TV Programmes:

which looks like a goldmine of viewing.
Regret to advise: that goldmine has been closed.

Rumpole, most excellent! Leo McKern was brilliant in that series, as Patrick McGoohan was in this one.

We have most of the Rumpole episodes on DVD. I managed to record them 'off air' with one of these.

It is approaching antiquity, but still operational.

But running out of devices it can connect to.

You can easily find the other three in the series of four.

I've communicated with the author in my quest to discover and confirm a family mystery. He's a good egg.

I love that he pronounces the name Learmonth correctly.



Sergeants were Sergeants in those days.



They had a particular way of saying the word "battalion".

There was a particular way of speaking and an attitude which was required for a Commission in those days.



I'm much impressed by the chap who speaks Arabic.
