YAY ! around 1959, Uncle Cyril ( Our local Milkie in West Bromwich ) allowed me some dual instruction in driving his electric milk float. It had a curved manual Steering Bar, with a Button on the end ( Warning Horn ) and a motorbike style lever which had to be squeezed to let go the brakes and power the wheels.. This assembly protruded from the front of the cart, which also had a rain awning sticking out from the top to keep him dry whilst walking the cart around the streets in the rain. If you tripped and let go the lever,the machine would stop immediately. . .for me as a nine year old, I had to walk fairly Briskly, so I reckon it did around 4 MPH. . . Later I saw a few of these things hauling Bread deliveries, and one mobile Greengrocer. There was the guy selling fizzy Pop too. . . I wasn't sharp enough then to ask how long the batteries would allow the carts to travel, I just assume it was enough. All the operators seemed to be very Fit though, unsurprisingly. In the early sixties these contraptions were replaced with larger EVs, with a driver's cab at the front, and a steering wheel ( Luxury )

Finally got the new shower installed today,. . the Leccy bloke quoted me £200.00 Sod that,. . .did it myself and saved a fortune. . [ATTACH]49994._xfImport[/ATTACH]

What about the Russian 'Concordski' crash at a Paris Airshow Nev. .. . OH, wait. . .that was a Midair wasn't it. . .( or something never properly publicized . . .) The two governments ( France and UK ) used the Air France crash as an excuse to dump the programme. . .what annoyed me was that the London to New York, and the London to Bahrain routes were extremely profitable,. . .as were the couple of routes flown by AF. . .
