yep, cat as in miaow. comes in handy if things get serious or till we get told off, or fed up with the joke.
don`t get obsessed with case numbers, chances are in 60 years it probably has lost a few of the bits fitted to it in 1947

itma is qute right, case numers are only useful when discussing old CATalogues and the like. It is quite FUR to expect previous owners to have replaced parts with non-standard items.....

You guys mean that the engine did not have six cylinders to begin with?

of course it did, previous owners have detached and discarded them as they wore out.

ooh classic mistake!!!
Tower bridge is the one that goes up and down
London Bridge will probably fall down sooner or later as everything here is going to the dogs, and we did sell it to you,!! the older one over there some where.
I think Don is refering to shrubs poodle and rswiper, tony.Edited by - itma on 22 Aug 2006 7:13:02 PM

I know that Tower Bridge hasn't been relocated, (yet). I intended a suble comment about George Dubuu thinking he owns the whole world. Fortunately, his term will expire next year & he cannot run again. Even his supporters over here are tired of him now. We have a lot of slow learners.

He just lost a court battle, when his internet monitoring was declared unconstitional. He will continue, though, while filing appeals to the Federal Supreme Court.

The cat who owns us hates him but loves us.

Cheers, Don.

Itma, that probably shows my age, the Old London Bridge (whihc was falling down) is now located in Havasu Nevada.

I thought the same was hapenning to Tower bridge since you are in the market to dispose of it.

I know a little about Tower bridge, if I am not mistaken it acted as a quick divorce office to some.
