Tuna Salad: Tuna salad with tuna steak, red leafed & iceburg lettuces, tomatoes, purple skinned onion, some Italian seasoning, course ground black pepper, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Classic Balsamic Vinaigette dressing. Also had linguini with cheese and mushroom sauce as the main meal but no pictures as it didn't really last too long. "A meal fit for a king".

Ok now this is the south side of the Thames just before you enter the Blackwall Tunnell ,, just look at ALL those height warning signs ,,,,,,,,,,and yes our foreign friends manage to block our tunnell on a weekly basis:)https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...7/IMG_0582.JPG
Nice shot Nigel.
I was through that at 6:30ish this morning
Just out of view ^^ there is an electronic sign stating how many over-heights and breakdowns inside the tunnel in the last 28 or 30 days, it's usually about 50 of each :(
Shit, seriously??? Who are the culprits?
All sorts from a simple puncture to an engine fire, to be fair they usually get it cleared fairly quickly but it doesn't take long for massive tailbacks to build up :(
The over-height lorry drivers that cock everything up for everyone else (i've been told) face hefty fines, Nigel can you confirm that?
Google is your friend :) http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/medi...ive/18143.aspx
Fine isn't that much at £60 but 3 points on your license. Don't know what happens with foreign drivers?
Don,t know about that Jizz as in 37 years of driving lorries I have never cocked anything up ( well not to do with the lorries ) infact I used to take my cartransporter empty through that Northbound pipe no bother allthough the top deck used to rattle the ol poles on the bends lol .Quote:

Now a welfare check would be a( cheque ) ie money and no they wouldnt get that either .
Now a welfare check is something akin to when the school nurse sits you down and combs through your hair every 6 months looking for nitts :) I had mine done once , then the nurse went off sick medically retired, never saw her again :):)

Then, on the way out, saw this backhoe and couldn't believe someone would go to the expense to paint it that color:

It's no bloody wonder, I see at least 4 different heights there. Make up your bloody minds how high it is.Quote:

No only 2 heights mate one in English for us and one in Euro language for our continental friends.Quote:

I stand corrected, thanks for pointing that at. In my defense the guide I had with me at the time from Chiang Mai ID'd the snake and I assumed that was correct. Like the saying goes in the movie Die Hard, "Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups."Quote:
