The Time I Said No To Joan Collins
I’m watching Joan Collins In her programme On BBC 2.
It reminds me of the time I met her.
It must have been between 1985 and 1987, as she was with her fourth husband; Peter Holm, who is exactly two months younger than I am.
We had all travelled from Los Angeles to London on British Airways and we were queuing for passport checks. Joan was to my right and Peter was looking very disinterested.
Then out of the blue, she asked me, if I had a light for her cigarette.
I replied that I was sorry, but I didn’t smoke.
She just smiled and put the cigarette away!
Structural Engineering At Work!
I took this picture of the new block on top of the Moorgate entrance to Liverpool Street Crossrail station.
I like structures and this could turn out to be a good example of their use.
24/7 Bingo? You Can’t Be Serious?
Yesterday, I went to Dunelm for the first time and came away with a cushion, which I needed for an experiment.
I took these pictures as I walked back to the station to come home.
24/7 Bingo? Have you ever heard of anything so sad?

It will be interesting to see how the Scottish and Welsh Covid statistics pan out in the next few days.
As a trained Control Engineer, I am totally against lockdowns, except as a very last resort.
It’s like trying to ride a bike only turning the handlebars full left and full right.
Try it and you will soon fall off.
