I was surprised to find out that 30% of all remaining Messerschmitt Bf 109"s served with one unit. Mind you I guess it's not quite as surprising when you find out where Jagdgeschwader 5 were?

Which was where?

Norway, I believe.

Thirty plus years back I was at Avon Raceway watching a bike run sub six seconds.

I had an electrician doing some work. I have an extension to the house on a spur which houses the washing machine and tumble drier, both at 13 amp. The leccy said that the spur was 16 amp so I risked a fire if I had them both on at the max power at the same time

But you wouldn't do that.

Surely you put a wash on then stick it in the drier afterwards?

You think the average house does one wash? We have one lot in drier, another lot in the washing machine then another lot waiting to go on.

Especially with the new long programs and separation of colours.

Sorry? Separation of colours? Is that something else I have to learn. I'm sure my late wife never did that.

Which does explain some of the strange looking shirts in the wardrobe.

Yep, but then you’re into mathematical conversion, if you flatten it, then straighten it, bosh, job’s a good’un.

If you start out flattening out all the villi, you’re into the coastline paradox.
