But mid pic, Catweazle at the wheel?

Most assuredly there are odd reflections in that shot. But the ghostlike face looking back over John's left shoulder appears to me more sinister than ever portrayed by Geoffrey Bayldon.

Yes, of course, you are right, but I liked to "play" a bit with words, names and that imo a bit "individual" looking nationality "GB" sticker, what also "Geoffrey Bayldon" could mean. I still like that actor, not only in his role as "Catweazle".

Nicely done GB double entendre, wagen19. Multifaceted counterpoint for John's HDR photos; more than meets the eye. Cool

Thank you very much for the pics.
But what means that shiny flat oval round "GB" sticker?
Green Beans, Great Balls or Grey Bones under the rear hood?

Or Ghost Brother with Great Blower (Shorrock)

Last pic, is there Catweazle beside or between the trees?

Sorry all, for the jokes

In Germany, "GB" could mean "Griminal Bolizei"


Haha, I'd settle for either "Griminal Bolizei" or Great Blower (Shorrock).
If I drive in mainland Europe with that "GB" badge I think I would be stopped by the "Griminal Bolizei". Cars from Great Britain have to show a "UK" badge.

Sorry, I can´t resist.
Dear John, please forgive me,
Does "UK" mean "Under Kover" or "Under Konstruction" if not finally spy of "UKraine"?

I don't know anymore; I'm totally confused. Laughing

Not really...that's the new building...the old building was replaced with a new housing estate back in 2011. Literally wiped off the map. Crying or Very sad
