I'm guessing it's a bridge over the river Stour ??

(Sorry, been in meetings all morning. It's addled my brain. We do now have 100 fully qualified Electronic Engineers now though.)

Is it Gloucestershire, Herefordshire way ??

Its in the West Midlands, just south of Dudley

I'm getting a mental image of robots in blue overalls here...

Can I just say that the School of Electronics at The University of Leeds is an august establishment. We devote our lives to making your lives safer and better...

(Nothing to do with them paying my wages you understand!)

Can I also make it perfectly clear that I do *not* have an electronics degree (or indeed an engineering degree of any kind).

I think a September establishment would be much more fun :P

Cheers. There are even occasions when I manage to pass myself off as a decent, well rounded individual.

Dukla Prage Away kit was on the third album, wasn't it? Which makes 86/87 about right . . .

Seal Clubbing's my favourite of theirs, I think, but I've always had a great fondness for There Is Nothing Better In Life (Than Writing on the Sole of your Slipper with a Biro on a Saturday Night Instead of Going to the Pub).

And then there's I Hate Nerys Hughes (A Song from the Heart) . . . I think I'll have to go and dig the albums out.

I actually have a Dukla Prague away kit (well shirt at least) which I wore in Prague the other week :)
HMHB reformed about 2 or 3 years ago I think - I've seen them twice in the last 18 months anyway. They do a load of new stuff as well as the classics, 24 Hour Garage People (a new one - on the Trouble Over Bridgewater CD) is brilliant. Of the old stuff I love 'Fred Titmus' and 'Time Flies By'.
