Random musings and general banter.

That’s the point, he came out with absolute twaddle Completely clueless. You’re right, Zeppelins we’re WW1 and the Lancaster was a piston engined bomber from WW2. Great fun to listen to, his take on history linking it his crappy watches.

I remember during the Queen’s silver jubilee fleet review in the Solent, there was a fly past. It must have gone on for around an hour. Fortunately I live in the flight path.
Spitfires, Hurricanes, Lancasters, Hercules, Gazelles, Chinooks etc, most flying quite low, plus the Red Arrows.

Still get the occasional Chinook flying over, whole house seems to rattle if flying directly overhead. There’s also a couple of spitfires that do trips out of our local airfield, again another distinctive sound.

No the two comments came at different times, Zeppelin comment was while he was telling us about the history of Swan & Edgar and the store surviving the WW2. The Lancaster comment was while he was selling a watch, Swan & Edgar like to link an irrelevant, unconnected story to a watch, on that occasion it was the Lancaster.

Yeah Zeppelins were WW1, but baby fields was adamant they took part in the bombing of London during the blitz, which Swan & Edgar Survived.

Lancaster was a heavy bomber powered by 4 Merlin engines, but according to baby it was a jet fighter bomber.

A Lancaster bomber and a watch, which is German

I think to state the vernacular, Lancasters were “big buggers”. Used during the dam busters with “bouncing bombs”. My late father could remember these being tested out in the Solent.

Natalia and Yiannis done a 20 minute presentation of a Molton Brown set, only to say. Something went wrong, and we’ve had to refund.

Now if it ends up being there stock last night, was possibly gone off, the stock the other week would have as well

Foghorn was the collagen expert on the old IW. She has been working with James Greenwell on the new formulation! Very strange that Pedro has never mentioned it.

Have they said what material the coat they have is made of? Unless you know the material then it's hard to compare. Ted Baker coat, obviously pay more for branding, is wool/cashmere, what is the IW coat?

Also things like the cut of the coat, the quality of the stitching and lining are important. Generally superior the more you pay.

My uncle was a mechanic for the Dambusters squadron at RAF Scampton. I have a fabulous very long photograph of all of them sat with a Lancaster.

Foghorn Sally's flogging the Collagen again. Just texted in and she read it out: "Hi, Sally. Collagen has done wonders for my hair and joints. Highly recommended. Pedro, Cheshire."

Pedro's mad for the collagen, he absolutely loves it.
