One of the ironies of my long career at my current job (24 years and counting) is the consistency of build times. The product I was building 20 years ago took 45-60 minutes to build and several floppies to archive. Our current products take 45-75 minutes to build, and 1 or 2 DVD's to archive.

Thanks Karel.

Remember, though, that everything visible in that picture is unimportant, compared with one human making the decision to have a Mars bar, rather than some fudge.

If you've ever been to Lewes, an other wise sleepy Sussex town, on 5th November, then you'll know when I saw this headline I immediately thought "Lewes" -
English town burns effigy of Alex Salmond on bonfire night
I remember going and it was Maggie up there in pride of place.

I've often wanted to go (not just for the fireworks, but also the King & Barnes!)
One year we'd planned to stay with our friends in Paddock Wood and drive down, but the lady of the house was pregnant and due that week (thoughtless of her!)
Alex Salmond is just a silly billy, I'd vote for Cameron or Clegg myself!

Sorry Richard, I've been out of the UK for 18 years and the memory isn't what it was (or has it always been bad and I've forgotten?).
You are, of course, correct and Harvey's does a nice pint. Was it (is it) them that does an Old called Elizabethan ale?

I thought it used to be brewed every winter. I certainly had a pint or two (not in the same sitting!) way back when.

It was the 5% cask that I drank, although I seem to remember having some of the bottles when I ran one of Alan Greenwood's offies (are they still around - I should do a search!)
You sound like another beer fan, ever been a CamRA member?

I did the search and found Alan on LinkedIn, I'll give him a poke! I ran the Lewisham shop for a few years until I set up my own off licence chain in and around Bristol. I've not seen or spoken to Alan since the mid 80s.
I used to be on the SE London CamRA committee and my business was the biggest exhibitor at the Bristol Beer Festival (possibly the biggest outside of the annual CamRA festival) during the early 80s.
Good times.
Enjoy Belgium!

They chickened out after someone complained to the police:

Someone on Twatter asked:
Quote:
Can you imagine the uproar amongst Better Together campaigners had Yes supporters burned an effigy of David Cameron?
They obviously weren't paying attention in 2010, then:
Quote:
An effigy of David Cameron holding a "puppet Nick Clegg" was burned in Lewes in 2010.

I like the puppet idea - so true to life.
I still read the Eye on-line and especially like The Headmaster's Report!

And people are complaining about it, and demanding that the organizers be prosecuted. 
Some people just have no sense of humour.

No webcam?
I've watched the Gavle goat every year for about seven years, waiting for it to burn down, and I missed it when it happened in 2011.
