Another from the old site, Jack Larkin. Not a lot of regard for Elfin Safety here!

Tom, when you click on your links, it opens all sorts of things- instaphoto, photo link or something! It's like a parallel universe! Area 51 is calling- or the Railway pub, as it's better known as!!!!!!

Cant get my head round this new fandangle photo thing Dunny,posting pictures was much easier when it involved an envelope and a stamp,area 51,sounds like a good idea mate,cant be as good as the Raglan :grin:
Stanley,mr William Larkin,no regard for safety back then,even though his father fell to his death from a church steeple :surprised: would have been embarrassing if he slipped and had to go and have a big stone thistle removed from his anus :grin:

Concise instructions, I would just add: navigate and upload photo to suitable category in the gallery.

There is more guidance in this thread if you need it although the instructions above are good to go.

Come off it Dunny! If that jerk Philips can do it I'm sure you can! Once you've posted one pic it will all fall into place and is dead easy. A lot easier on this new platform than on the old one.
Tom. you're right, there's an elevator inside it and a viewing chamber at the top. Still an impressive structure!

The boards on that staging- wre they the 20 odd feet long 'roof joists' that jack got from Noah's Ark timber supplies???

I think I'm going to have to fire up the diesel lap top if I am going to contribute any pics! I've been trying to post pics using the iPad, oh 'eck! As Dorothy would say!!!!
