It has been done. By Gartrac legitimately, and allegedly in France unscrupulously.

We need more lively topics.....just lets not have Religion or Politics...or we will be at war with each other....lol

Maybe we are all to politically correct to say anything these days.

That was my interpretation and intent certainly. Conversation.

I don't often intend to piss people off, but I do manage to do it by accident with frequency and aplomb.

Albion is perfidious too, of course ...
:rolleyes:

Frederic,
he says "Albion". Not Albi on......!
Albion being an old word for "England" is it?

Yes indeed, an old French insult!

Perfidious Albion England or Britain considered as treacherous in international affairs, in a rendering of the French phrase la perfide Albion, said to have been first used by the Marquis de Ximenès (1726–1817). Both terms are recorded in English from the mid 19th century.

But we are all friends now?
:rolleyes:
Struan

Yes John I remembered this old insult for England from our french frog eater!
Of course Struan we are all friends !! Maybe not if England wins against France in six nations! ;)

Boy do I know what you mean Chris.....you say something one way and its read in another and before you know it....BOOM...

So who is going to knock us up some steel centre tubs?
It can't be that hard...:o

I would have said easier than ever to get them made now. Surely?
Drawings for laser cuts, sets of panels cut and folded. Somebody with an English Wheel to knock out the roof panel.
Some laser cut mdf formers to jig it all, and somebody proficient with a spot welder.
Simples.....
Now who would let us make paper templates off their original?
