I believe the big hotel in aviemore used to have a “Santa claus land” on its site… this substation may have been installed for that purpose years ago.
Now it’s on a retail centre car park.

But it says Santa Clause...is that the get-out clause? Or just another example of poor grammar/spelling...

That's why I mentioned the film.

That's spelt as clause - the premise of the film...

But I strongly suspect you are correct, poor grandma and spellink

By putting a like to the above, we are showing our age!
I have not seen any wombaling free for years.

Re Claus v clause….. I blame autocorrect.


The wombles were an endangered species even back in the 80’s. I believe Orinoco finally passed away in captivity around 2000.

they were doing OK till Maggie closed down Wimbledon Common.

Only the one breeding female, and a geriatric alpha male. The species was doomed.

I have heard there’s been some DNA found, and they might try and clone them at some time.

 

[telectrix]

it may be possible to clone one or two of the forum's older members. some are a close resemblance.

This is going to indicate just how stupid I am, but the first time I went diving in the sound of Mull I remember thinking ah Tobermory, it must be named after the womble who wore tartan.....

I was naive and innocent back them it would appear.

They are not Wombles but the Ood from Dr Who.

It was George Michael that closed down Wimbledon Common not Maggi. ?

I think he made it "popular" amongst certain gentlemen.

 

[littlespark]

Clapham Common wasn’t it?

Or so I’ve heard

@Julie, sadly not in Glasgow...it's in Spain?

I was working in Tenerife years ago... and needed some stainless 3-way valves... I was going to get them shipped from the UK thinking there was no way I'd find them there, but tried asking around first. To my amazement, I found a local store that had the best ever selection of anything to do with stainless steel/plumbing/machining etc. etc... By far superior to anything I knew of in the UK... and on such a small island ! I later discovered all sorts of other places that stocked whatever you wanted !
