It's LWB and features vinyl roof: that's a Silver Wraith II. |

It's supposedly set in England, but with this example has obviously rear sidemarker. .gif ":)") |

Look there's a phone box! And a pillar box! All it needs is a policeman for a full score on Cliche Bingo. But rear plate should be yellow, not white. However I think all S2 Shadows and variants had the sidemarkers for all markets, not just US. |

The second part of Mesrine would certainly get a full score on Cliché Bingo. Double decker bus, postbox, phone box and bobbies on the beat. /vehicle_206022-Bristol-Lodekka-FLF.html |

...and Marmite on the sandwiches...  |

@ingo - after all the Marmite discussions over the last few months, I've just realised that we've never mentioned Bovril. Have you come across it? [Please can we have a smiley for quickly running for shelter behind solid furniture?] |

Sorry, never heard about that  I feel ashamed to admit, that due the lack of knowledge I never looked for it at UK-supermarkets  I was happy enough, that I could find Haggis in cans there (even at ALDI and LIDL). |

@ingo: Bovril is similar to Marmite, but originally made with beef extract so has a meatier taste (though now has no meat content so is vegetarian-friendly). Not as delicious as Marmite, but famous as a hot drink (add boiling water) for football crowds in the north of England (half-time pie and Bovril) who live in black and white photos with everyone wearing flat caps. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovril . |

@dsl: Even as far south as Birmingham ... I remember an early Jasper Carrott tape, where he told the tale of going to a Birmingham City away match at Arsenal ... and his mate endangered them both by shouting at him in broad Brummie at half-time: 'Ay! Carrott! They got no cowin' Bovril!' According to Wikipedia, 'It now produces Bovril using beef and chicken.' IMHO it's an ideal drink if your stomach's a bit dodgy. |

Glad someone else remembers that JC was a very good comedian all those years ago. He and I went to the same school in Birmingham, though he was several years ahead of me. That probably blows my cover - sorry ingo - as I was born and bred a Brummie before moving to Scotland 30+ years ago, and I'm only a Scottish mongrel not a 27th generation Braveheart. |

But you are assimilated enough to take the St.Andrews Cross for your nationality .gif ";)") Since you in Britain can choose them, do you have it also on your car's license plate? @chris40: the St.George's Cross, you have chosen, is not visible on plates of Scottish-owned cars I've never seen it there (except at cars of English tourists or immigrants). Not even the Union Jack is often to see on Scottish plates, the Euro-flag neither. In England you see them more.Oh, there is still a funny Marmite-story, I can contribute At our Namibia-trip in 2006 we've met a nice and funny older couple from London. They were still a bit shocked from the stay in the pevious lodge - about an older British guy, who always has taken a big family-glass of Marmite with him  A trip abroad is only possible for him with his Marmite! And never something else for breakfast, although it was a hyper-luxoury 5-star-premium accomodation, no way!His whole apperance fits perfectly with his love for Marmite (so said the couple from London). It was a hardcore-birdwatcher (a single traveller, sure  ), who spend all the evenings in his room, to note every view of any bird in detailed lists and books. So he had something, he could give lectures to the other (absolutely uninterested) members of the group at the next day  |

A propos Brummies: what has a couple from Birmingham said to us immediately and directly, in annother lodge in South Africa? No kidding: "So you are German? Do you also a reserving the sunchairs on Mallorca with your towels at six o'clock in the morning?"  Maybe they heard my wifes comment about the British influence in ZA seconds before - when she bite in her marmelade-sandwich, she realized, that the butter was salted... |

@ingo: I'd probably have done better to pick the Union flag: I was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne to a half-Tyneside-Irish mother and a father from Kincardineshire. And most people (in England, at any rate) still prefer to have no flag at all on their plates; even if they have a blue strip it often only has GB on it, to save getting a sticker. |

I was just down in Birmingham for the last day and a half. Despite my footballing allegiance however, I have no real ties down there apart from a few friends made through football. I'm in actual fact a mongrel rather than a pure Scot. I have English and Irish blood too. I quite like Jasper Carrot. Especially for The Detectives. |

Football is not my cup of tea, I'm totally uninterested in it. So I'm also not upset about the serious local scandal, we had here last week: Link to "www.bild.de" For other non-football-knowers: One guy, who repaired the collapsed roof (by the snow-weight) of the "Veltins Arena", the stadium of Schalke 04, has placed a flag of the worst rival, Borussia Dortmund, on the roof. This man was identified soon - and will get in a hotel in Dortmund free beer for one year |

I met Jasper Carrot at a car park i working at in 1991 .He signed autograph for me but had his serious hat on.He was driving a Magenta colour G- reg Ford Granada Scorpio hatch. Met quite a few other famous people there (but i'm not one to name drop) |
