I've seen a guy on the internet cutting the tread of old tyres, they made good soles.

I had a job at Pulbough water works they extract drinking water from the River Arun but need to filter out the river ealls. I suppose it stops them coming out of our taps :D

This old bridge was on my way home. From wikipedia


Stopham Bridge is a Grade I listed building[6] and a Scheduled Monument. Despite much speculation over the construction date of this ironstone bridge, the correct date is believed to be c.1422-3. One span of the bridge was destroyed during the Civil War and replaced by a drawbridge. The bridge's central arch was modified in 1822 and bears this date.[7]

Had a job on a Tug in Southampton,

All the cruise ships are moored offshore but occasionally come back to port when they run low on bread and milk :D
