A Rolling Stones rip off with a singer even worse than Jagger ... and less English! tongue.gif


Well I could sign on as Paul McCartney - would you all believe me? laugh.gif

Wow, it's an honour to share a forum with Bobby Gillespie. To be fair, I think "they" had a point if they were talking about your Give Out But Don't Give Up era. It just wasn't what anyone was expecting. Still, you showed "them" with XTRMNTR, didn't you?

Oh! Primal Scream, heard of them but not interested enough to know who the members are - one of these 10 a penny modern pseudo rock bands.

Yes, he seems charming from the Wikipedia write up. sad.gif

The title of this thread is 'Pedestrian crossing' but it is called 'Zebra crossing'. To be fair I've seen pedestrians crossing but not Zebras.

I could be wrong here GMR but I think it is something to do with the black & white stripes which are exhibited by such a crossing bearing some resemblance to the black & white stripes on a zebra.

I am just surmising here but it would seem a better bet than the proposition that they are provided to aid the passage of zebras themselves. wink.gif

That is true... the colouring and stripes gave it away laugh.gif

That is true, and knowing Newbury anything is possible.

There's a whole menagerie of crossings out there in West Berkshireland....

We started off with zebra crossings donkeys years ago... (see what I did there... wink.gif )

Then, as electricity arrived in Newbury, we got Pelicans.

Then along came the Toucan crossing... (where people AND cyclists who haven't already jumped the lights can cross)
Then there are Puffin crossings (which detect movement on the crossing)
And out in Lambourn way I think there may also be a Pegasus crossing for those expensive gee ges (not sure this one should count as I've looked up my A to Z of the animal kingdom and haven't come across a beast called a Pegasus....)

No you didn't, re-read what you said again! tongue.gif Don't worry, I knew what you meant, it was just you didn't write what you meant! wink.gif


An issue with little merit, or should I say proof.

How wrong you are. wink.gif
