I thought that was to do with the rate at which the gangs can pump up the boats on the French coast.

Sharpen up bo, this is the new technology being introduced to counter the deflation problem;

Though I trust for their sakes they are using 'marine' plywood and not only mdf whose structural properties when wet are all too evident?

I must admit they look as if they are inflatable craft, but as I do not have your experience with inflatable things I bow to your knowledge..................

As you are presumably referring to my experience with bicycle inner tubes, then I do have recent expertise, albeit with rather narrower gauge examples of the inflatables genre!

Though I think importing bouncy castle parts all the way from China and converting them to rudimentary watercraft shows Initiative, the only problem being the durability of the mdf and plywood and it’s attachment to the bouncy castle.

Can anyone tell me how lawyers defending these poor folk risking their lives can make a legal case actually stand on the “refugee from cruel and despotic regimes” plea, when they’ve really just fled from the EUssr, which we all know since BRINO* is a wonderful prosperous libertarian wealthy regime compared to Blighty?

*BRINO is Brexit In Name Only for our furrin’ friends.

P S. Thread drift alert! In BA at Thiefrow one of the flight management there was known affectionately by the acronym MDF, apparently due to his magnificent skills and durability under stress.

Maybe our other BA refugees or even Woody might be able to cast light on that rumour, no names, no pack drill?

Anyone got Charlie's flight on FR24?

Just landed Berlin - KRF055R.

Good to be back with family?

Wouldn't that be The Netherlands?

Is Hannover in the Netherlands?

Nope. It's where they buried the Kaiser, who refused to have his body buried in Germany until they restored the monarchy.

Is he there, then, to 'restore' the Monarchy?

Probably just wants to remind them who won ... twice

Just so long as there isn't a penalty shootout.

It appears that the climate change deniers are (unsurprisingly) resident in the UK government https://www.theccc.org.uk/2023/03/29/cl ... nprepared/

“The UK’s first 40*C day, in summer 2022, was the clearest indication that climate change has arrived in this country”.

Is this the same “Climate Warming” observed at RAF Coningsby during aircraft operations there last summer?

You obviously are a UHI denier and unable to discern ‘twixt real scientific data and ‘cooked’ data. (Pun intended!)

Another Kool-Aid consumer emerges into the light of day but carry on frightening the crap out of the younger generation with this apocalypse scenario which it is alleged is causing “mental health problems” in the generation who’ve already been well and truly shafted by the ‘convirus plague’!

In years to come the formerly younger generation, if they have not succumbed to adverse effects like myocarditis from the ‘prophylactic treatment’, will look back on this decade and ask Gramps/Gramma W T F were you lot thinking when you went down that road, if you were thinking at all?!

I really have little idea what you are formenting about, but I THINK the question for you is has the 'RAF Coningsby' observation site been moved recently to its new location (ie in the last few years) or is it recording a measurable rise over time? If the former then its readings are suspect. If the latter, yours are. Do you know?

It would appear that "You obviously are a climate change denier and unable to discern ‘twixt real scientific data and ‘cooked’ data. (Pun intended!)

boac sez:---"I really have little idea what you are formenting about..." and curiously enough neither do I!

Now I have done formatting on my PC & Mac, fermenting especially during my RAF days of experimenting with home-brewed beers and I have fomented dischord and a passenger revolution on a train back in the 70s when we travellers were being shafted by British Rail on a Sunday train service...

Maybe the simple word "ranting" would have sufficed but it's your prerogative obviously.

Now, what was the question, I seem to have lost my thread of thought and indeed the will to live?

We wait with bated breath...............

I think Sarah Vine needs some financial advice, who buys travel money at the airport

Who is she? Will the fact I don't know tarnish my reputation?

When the pound was 1.14 last month I got 1.119 at the post office on pre- order.

Who is she? Will the fact I don't know tarnish my reputation?

She was married to Michael Gove and writes a column for the DM, probably all that you need to know about her career
