It’s an amazing feat when you think about it,Her Majesty Elizabeth II ascended the throne in February of 1952, two weeks after I was born. The world now celebrates her 70th year as Queen.
I doubt there will ever be anyone to equal her.
Perhaps they are waiting for Nortons to be available?Jubilee is upon us, the Beacons were lit all over the country last night....God Bless HRM!
I was a bit annoyed at the Police Escort at the trooping yesterday...looked like BMWs
why not Triumphs?
It’s long been a tradition of U.K. forces to buy British where possible, and European where not, but avoid Far Eastern goods as much as they can.Jubilee is upon us, the Beacons were lit all over the country last night....God Bless HRM!

Too complex of a subject, but an important thing to consider is the people who BUY those items, demand lower prices. There are two (or more) ways to lower prices...It's a sad fact that as she became queen, BMC were formed, & along with Rootes & all the smaller companies Britain was the second largest car manufacturer in the world behind the US. The VW group now make more cars in a month than we make in twelve. Same sad story for motorcycles, vans, buses, lorries, machine tools....I could go on but might wear out my keyboard.
Martyn.
In one of her post-coronation speeches she declared having a burning desire to visit Australia and New Zealand. And the land down under spoke in one voice...70 years on the throne, god she must have a sore bottom by now, the only reason she stayed on for so long look what's coming up behind her, Charlie boy and I am born the same day as Charlie and all the problems with the rest of the family, god help us all.
