He was George V from 1910 to 1936, prior to that he was the Duke of York. I'm a bit worried about your neighbour though - I carry some useless stuff in my head but this guy sonds a bit worrying! :-)Nogbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838817425838931554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13219187.post-1128590127477481442005-10-06T10:15:00.000+01:002005-10-06T10:15:00.000+01:00Hiya bluefluff - I saw my neighbour this morning, ...Hiya bluefluff - I saw my neighbour this morning, he caught me in my PJs so recall of the following is a bit hazy due to embarrassment!<BR/><BR/>You are right it is George V. George VI post boxes have a VI between the G and the R. <BR/><BR/>George V, was 1865-1936. Apparently some of these boxes were painted blue in the 1930s (you can ascertain this if the paintwork is chipped) this meant they were for Airmail letters. It wasn't a successful scheme and it was axed after about 3 years.<BR/><BR/>You live and learn!palhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442772231725802407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13219187.post-1128516116865592972005-10-05T13:41:00.000+01:002005-10-05T13:41:00.000+01:00Simple, village, should I?Simple, village, should I?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13219187.post-1128504388887261312005-10-05T10:26:00.000+01:002005-10-05T10:26:00.000+01:00Happy photo was a function of trying to do things ...Happy photo was a function of trying to do things so I could see where the gaps in the software library are. Image manipulation so I had to go and find Irfanview. FTP meant a big search for a freebie that's not widely available anymore but I found it on an old mirror site. I still can't find some install CDs but I'll get by adding stuff as and when I need it.<BR/><BR/>Wendy - we're not a town!
