COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

There's been a great 75 year anniversary of Battle of Britain on tele tonight.
(ITV player)
Loads of Spitfires flying. Quite moving to see the old remaining pilots there.

Yeah, the biggest number of Spitfires, Hurricanes and Blenheims assembled since the end of the war.
And a few of the heroes still with us.
Wonderful.

If you can't drive a truck, a John Deere is a perfectly acceptable substitute.

Whats a John Deere?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What question are we on?

Ummmmm........

Did you manage to see it?
My nephew is in the RAF.

A make of tractors.
My ex farm girl girlfriend's favourite.

Ummmmm........

If it's the penicillin one - I don't think it was just Fleming as thought - it was found by accident when he was looking for something else but think someone else realised its potential

There's a John Deere in this photo from my job.

It was a French student called Ernest Duchesne

Hi Ed
Having second thoughts about retiring I see!
You'll love it when it's here.
I've been counting the days since I was about 25!

Oh, yeah, ta.
I'll give the answer in a bit.
It's not Fleming, you're right.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I still have up to three years on my deferment.
I'll probably do the whole 3 years.

Thanks guys.

That really is wonderful to hear!
I haven't had chance to read up on her the last couple of days.
She is absolutely incredible.....as are you Ed!

Very nice looking tractor - not that I've looked at many!

Never been so happy to hear a thread has been shut down.

Wrong shade of green.

I know nothing about them.
Though I have driven a few in the country.
