Signed, I have fond memories of Canterbury. I hate seeing our towns being turned into generic characterless places with bike lanes, multiple traffic control lights, barriers, brick setts, speedhumps et al

Nice to see SD members signing this who don't live in Kent and acknowledge you wouldn't want Canterbury City Council's input when selecting a set of scope mounts!

this was on the radio this morning , it's only ones that have failed a safety test apparently and if replaced the replacements are copies but in modern materials so they said and are indistinguishable ?

 

[Klenchblaize]

The issues are a;- they are not the same and b;- meaningful maintenance/restoration is not being undertaken.

That appears not to be true. In any case, what "modern material" is a superior substitute to cast iron? Safety test, my ar5e!

yeah , probably

but imagine the cost of replacing with like for like ? do we even have the facilities to cast them anymore?

or would we get them from china ?

i'm more concerned that british airways has discontinued the full english and replaced it with a continental charlatan breakfast snacky snack !

There is obviously no need to replace the iron post.

Pretty sure we do. It's a cottage industry sort of thing.

or would we get them from china ?

Hardly surprising. (Suppressing my non-PC views on the sort of man one finds working around airports and airlines)
