According to A Timeline of Butlins’ past…, the Clacton Butlins was sold in 1984/5.

Skegness is still alive and kicking, however, if the spirit moves you! I suspect that it will be a very different sort of Butlin’s these days, though.

I’ve only ever been to Clacton once in my life. I was sixteen and all I saw was the inside of Butlin’s Holiday Camp. Is it still there, Tiger ?

Indeed there are some beautiful places and we have to work hard to protect them against spreading towns and the mania for building more and more roads.

Thanks, I’ll note these titles for future reference.

The flash drives I use have their own password/encryption system installed. It would be too easy to leave a flash drive in an Internet cafe by mistake!

You’re right. And some friends of mine today, were impressed by the view on a postcard from Wivenhoe, not far from Colchester. There are beautiful places in England and too few French people are aware of that.

Haven’t tried the Voyager tho’ I have used theBat for several years. On my USB drive I use npopuk for email and gave up on Firefox in favour of theWorld. These plus several more programs (such as Spread32) run in a “TrueCrypt” partition using PopSel or Pstart for the file selection menu. It’s a simple case of less being more !

Comment on Aylesbury ducking by SilverTiger

To Catz: Yes, I hate to see beautiful buildings damaged or destroyed in what is after all the pursuit of profit. So many wonderful structures in London would have been lost if people had not organized and protested. St Pancras station is an example. We need more cities to follow Montreal’s example. Could it be something to do with the Gallic temperament?

To emalyse: Perhaps Aylesbury will yet find its soul and transform itself accordingly. We can but hope.

After consulting Tigger, I wonder how many understood the pun in the title. “Aylesbury duckling” is a dish that appears on the menu of many classy restaurants.
