Elan in the forest

Will you cease to exist if privatisation goes through?
Maybe you will become "Elan in the private sector" or "Elan in my part of the forest"?
:roll: :wink: :lol:

Does he have a FSC certificate to go with it?

FSC is really a must nowadays. Otherwise all the environmentalists will hunt you down.

As for the Miata's, well... Hmmm....

This really is one of it's own kind.

Should be easy enough, our long lost Miners prepared the (under)ground well for that.
It maybe tactically good, picking off the Whitehall "suits" from underground, Vietnam relived in Gloucestershire :lol:

Then I will most willingly give this thread back to it's rightfull owner, immediately...

The answer to all your searchings is as simple as the question is difficult ans most of the time forgotten.

P.S.
I still think that the Miata dressed up as a transvestite version of the Wiesmann must be the ugliest Miata ever.

I don't think that a sneak of old Etonians is going to achieve what the Spanish Armada failed to do. Many of Elizabeth I's ships were made of oak from the forest, and it was a prime target for them to burn down. They hadn't really understood just how damp England is in autumn!

There is a labyrinth of old caves and mines around here, some dating back to pre-Roman times, so a guerrilla style defence strategy is quite plausible. There are many wild boars running free now, and they are huge and aggressive beasts....and are being trained for defensive purposes.

If it all goes horribly wrong, we can feast on oak-smoked pork for quite a long time.

Is that maybe a synonym for people with placards? :lol:

An old friend of mine said to me once that the thing with grudges is you can't really do anything with them other than to hold them!

And quite rightly so!
I'm too old to hold grudges; I've tried but I keep forgetting :lol: :lol: :lol:

PS the smileys in my posts do play a role :wink:

*OFFTOPIC*

Terry, does the bottom left corner come as part of the package when you rent a cottage in France? In that case......

No, but you can look through a small window of a garage at it, and probably smell the petrol escaping from the breather, but I am working on that!
