An airburst would put down bridges on the M6 - and bridges plus the overhead electrics on the WCML - plus disrupt resupplies from 16 MU, etc.
Mmm, not sure, when they arrived and had "boots on the ground", it would have been difficult to tell if they had actually hit it.No no, they just wanted to take down the Sheridan. No sensible Red Army soldier wanted to go into the Sheridan, especially on a Saturday night.
I might start to call it the Ford Garage...

Is it me, or is this getting more frequent? Is it the run-off from the new (ish) Marston Grange estate making it worse?
You'd have thought with it happening so often now dredging Marston Brook would be a priority - but I suppose that's probably a different department from the people who have to deal with the broken down cars and road surface damage.
Correct.
Topographically, Stafford is 'pretty much flat', though obviously we must make allowances for Baswich - until recently it was not known that this is the only housing estate designed by Escher, and it is, as far as we know, the only place on Earth that both ingress and egress are upward - and we must also allow for the fact that when travelling from the Queensville roundabout to Baswich, @RobUSA seems to think that we must first ride over the railway bridge, cross over the road, and ride back over the railway bridge again, before our haul toward the top of Radford Bank, the dramatic upward trajectory of which has now magically started at the roundabout rather than just after the Trumpet.
e.
So Stafford is basically built into a bowl !!! ..
Dude, the Queensville roundabout is THIS SIDE OF THE FECKING RAILWAY BRIDGE.I just recall walking that way. There were steps by the Crown and equivalent steps the other side. Don't recall a way which didn't include hauling to the top and back down again. If there was I wasted a lot of time and energy.
Lol but nevertheless, @Withnail does have a pretty big point even if it could be expressed a little more diplomatically.It never occurred to me that you had actually invented the bicycle. That until you came along nobody had ever seen one, let alone ridden one.
Tell me what's it like up there on that plinth ?
Hey, wow!It never occurred to me that you had actually invented the bicycle.
When the diesel and petrol supplies are depleted they will be glad of a bike then .
