New Avatar! Mr. Memory, from "The 39 Steps"? Best comedy bits in his scenes at the music hall at the start.

Mr Memory doesn’t appear in the book only on the film version of the book.

Nissan Sunderland is now talking to Chinas Chery, utilisation at Sunderland below 50%. Some sort of partnership looks essential.
Chery already owns the Nissan South Africa factory. However, any full UK takeover/partnership would certainly need a big reversing move from UK government to be viable long term.

Just think - they could reintroduce the Datsun/Nissan Cherry


One for the 70s & 80s Japanese cars enthusiasts.

Yes spot on it's from act 1
I've found memoirs of HMS Pinafore. At senior school we had a really kind and friendly Deputy Head who was brilliant at music he'd studied in Vienna. Even the music teacher use to admit he was way better than him. He had a twitch which when he played the piano totally went. School play he'd always be on the keyboard , even with quite complex music he'd be pagers ahead. He just remember it all as he went along . On year due to student numbers we had him as our music teacher. He'd start every class off playing the piano with us all singing 1st few bars of My gallant crew, good morning. With him singing the Captain parts.

As a side note Richard D'Oyly Carte who went on to form the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company is a relation of mine.

I was, still am, a great G&S fan. I was hooked at the age of 17/18 by my then girlfriend, long since gone. However, she took me to see the Mikado by the Ipswich G&S Society in 1976. Each year I went to see their production, not missing many. My favourite still is The Mikado, followed by Pirates and then Ruddigore. A few years back, the wife and I went to see HMS Pinafore in Norwich staring John Savident (aka Fred Elliot, Corrie) as Sir Joseph Porter KCB. Brilliant.

I too like the Mikado we did it one year as the school play. It was the 1st one that me and one of science teachers did the lighting for. We worked on many others over the next few years of my school life. Rewiring and renewing lighting rigs was great fun as was keeping the whole ageing set up going. It was consent fault finding, fixing and finding work arounds for obsolete parts. No way now would a school let a student get up that close to electrics let alone poke around them.

All this fuss over single sex toilets!

do they make them to accommodate more than one?

All this fuss over single sex toilets! It's bad enough when a man stands next to you at the urinal and find that you can't go yet alone when a women cleaner is in there cleaning!
Just thought I would put side view!

we were doing a college tour in Vermont a few years back. in one main building they have large multisex bathrooms. after a large meeting broke I went to the restroom. as I stood there trying to understand the signage, multiple women walked past me to go in. I couldn't do it, I was too shy. so I walked across the quad to another building where I knew they were segregated

From Nottingham where lunch has just been ordered. Walked out of the train station and wondered what all the police were doing in the area. Turns out there's a football match the other side of the river which is quite important apparently.
