All this talk of Somerset and scrumpy has got songs from a certain group banging round in my head "I am a cider drinker I drinks it all of the day......etc etc" I tried Scrumpy once from a shop in Chedder Gorge. Rach and I were on honeymoon in that corner of the world, we went to Chedder Gorge...

I would loved to them. I still maintain the best kitkats are the ones that slip through quality control and have no biscuit in the middle and are just chocolate, I've had a few of them.🤣

I might have a few cases of kitkats to share......

I came very close to being scammed once, some years ago now. Got an email supposedly from PayPal it all looked official proper logos and everything. I was hovering over the link to login to PayPal then it dawned on me. 'I haven't got a PayPal account registered to this email address". How...

Pie and peas for me. Got to be marrowfat peas

Would have had a better comparison if I'd actually signed the boxes ip and taken a photo from above. But yeah modern F1 way longer but narrower than an 80's F1 car. I know I'm an old fart but I prefer the look of those early to mid 80's F1 cars too.

This one group B rally cars to go with the pics of the Metro 6R4 I posted earlier today. These posts are just a part of my diecast collection. I have a display cabinet in the front room full of 1:18 scale diecast road car models, Subarus. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo7, Nissan Skyline various Porsche...

This one F1 from 1980's, 1990's and modern. These are all the same scale (1:18) look at the size difference between an early 80's Williams and the Mclaren from just a couple of years ago.

This one Peugeot LMP1 (Le Mans etc)
