Luddites hadn?t been invented when Norm was at school. The dinosaurs ate them all. :D

Go on then, I'll bite.... "what's a Luddite?" :)

The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers which opposed the use of certain types of cost-saving machinery, often by destroying the machines in clandestine raids. They protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods. Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of "Ned Ludd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Ludd)" (aka Norms' Dad), a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.
The Luddite movement began in Nottingham, England (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nottingham), and spread to the North West (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_West_England) and Yorkshire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire) between 1811 and 1816. Mill and factory owners took to shooting protesters and eventually the movement was suppressed with legal and military force, which included execution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution) and penal transportation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_transportation) of accused and convicted Luddites.

Yes and no, to that question !!!! But I think the Luddite philosophy is still alive and kicking except it is aimed at little black box’s.

Regardless of whether lobby ludd is lurking about on the runway, I might try to get over to sturgate it sounds like another place to enjoy the car. Would be good to meet up with others.
