After marvo's great pictures
Can you photo buffs do likewise ? I know up north we will get satanic mills and horses and carts in the traffic jams and in London just cars cars cars stationary but even so it's nice to see how the other half live ,going to work on a boat maybe but I think it will be good to see

My kids on the field the other night.

 

[dingledong]

Did you make them stand there for 2 hours to get the right lighting

 

[golfpaul]

The Toon at night.

 

[dingledong]

Bloody hell where I live they turn the street lights of at night now after a certain time

 

[Silly Sausage]

Like hell it is, I can't see any drunks lying around.
The ships are good, worked on them for a while on refits, one of my better jobs.

 

[dingledong]

So what were your worser jobs then

I used to work in an old mental hospital, about 1978, had to wash incontinent patients, that was occasionally a bit grim, and sometimes quite challenging! :smilielol5:
But that pales into insignificance compared to my wanderings into the wonderful world of PAT testing. Good job we don't carry guns in the UK!

Hell fire, where did you dig up that smiley?

Nice pictures TB, I was in Newcastle on a contract many years ago, it looks like it's changed a lot around that area.

 

[dingledong]

What were you dolng marvo changing the gas street lighting to electric

 

[Marvo]

Thanks Mr Dingle but I'm not quite that old. We were installing retrofit control systems on the Stena RO-RO ferries as they were being refurbished in dry dock.
