Indeed. I’d love to know how they found these two buildings, with so many stories!

BBC repeating the Berlin/London one. Excellent series, watching again! Edinburgh is next one coming soon. Is that the one Paul?

The delivery date of your book has slipped. I hope it’s because you’re adding a pair of these to accompany each order!

I’ve assumed it was VAT, although it wasn‘t applied initially, but started appearing a while ago (for me). Is it VAT-able?

#FaceTheMusic At time of recording, those 2 guests were 64 and 62! Gulp!

Their ‘mini documentaries’ (usually just trailers for a later programme) also annoy me. Stories might be worthy, but I just want the news! I think the main TV news in Germany is just a 15 minute prog with no waffle.

Marmite & honey/syrup is just as good!

Could your GFather ride before the war? Mine lived in central Edinburgh and I’m sure he didn’t. I presume he learnt as part of his training. He was a telegraphist but served in an Air-line section in the RE.

I have exactly the same issue… didn’t note it down. I think my grandfather’s was named along the lines of the dog in ‘The Dambusters’…….

I agree! Greener too.

Better memory than I have!😀

were they not called ‘dib-dabs’ Or was that something else?

Wouldn‘t want an over-shoot at the airport!

+1 for Niederegger. Who couldn't eat marzipan all day?

Yes, so i predict Alan out next, then with one big dog gone(Fry) Ross will go leaving Cat in the final. I’ve not watched the show before but I presume there is one last banishment in the final episode.

Oh! I think they did and he’ll be out next week. The editing made sure WE saw it, and there was some discussion afterwards.

2CV or not 2CV?

Be cool (but probably infringes copyright) if the circling logo stopped fully at the top for a second… à la Swiss Railwalys.

Yup. Plague of both. Shame ladybirds can’t eat the acorns…

Still a lot of building works gave it away to me! Got in 1

I spotted the large amount of existing and former railway routes, but didn’t pick up that ‘hint’.

One extreme to the other today! Railways and old railways on this one were, ahem, interesting.
