I must say all this Dirty Old Man stuff about “being flashed” and “plonkers” is a bit near the knuckle. Is SFN in danger of going beyond the bounds of old-fashioned decency 
?

I appreciate your appreciation, Graham 
and, would you believe it, I tried for twenty minutes to upload an image of a flasher to illustrate my otherwise ambiguous comment, to no avail. All the smutty images are copyrighted. What’s the world coming to when a man can’t share a bit of harmless smut with friends? 
Had to laugh at this Peter. Some years ago I was doing some serious research, and from ‘nowhere’, well obviously someone put them there, images of soft/hard porn couples were’ flashed up’. Once I got over the shock, how do they get that, there, and why, I did have a good chuckle.
However it made me realise that if a child should stumble on these images then it was just not on.
It seems, rightly, things have been tightened up, re searching images. So maybe your flasher images are now on this thing called the ‘Dark Web’ 
Just the words are making my lap top shake so I am out of here, goodnight and live long 
Sorry to give offence, Ann. My comment on flashers was ‘tongue-in-cheek’ and I only looked for cartoon images of ‘flashers’ not pornography, not that I object to the latter for entirely private and personal use amongst those who have the inclination. Children should of course be protected from pornography, although they are likely to seek it out for themselves out of natural curiosity, I think, and to share it with peers. It’s part of growing up, maybe?
No offence taken Peter. I have looked for those Gif thingys (cartoon like moving images) to put on friend’s posts and have been amazed at what comes up .
I think that now there are more ‘security’ features on the web and parents can lock down any sites that may be shocking to little ones.
I remember seeing, at school, as part of sex education, the film (I think it was called to Janet a son) well were all agog.
What a disappointment, didn’t see any sex or dangly bits. Only got to see the birth, urgh, wonder it didn’t put us off for life

Hi Phil…
What is the UK sign like ???
Who’s Phil? 
It’s odd, if people are going to get my name wrong they nearly always choose Phil, not sure why.
Black stripe on white background
Same or very similar sign used in France as “end of previous restrictions”
Sorry Paul… it’s a cross between heat-stroke and insanity…
Plus I have a friend of very long standing… named Phil Flint… I think that is what must be doing my head in…
Anyone know Phil Flint… H&S British Rail… ???

Ha ha…
Another sign which also means NS applies… is the Name of the Agglomeration with a line through it…
It is obvious around here that not all foreigners realize that the Name of the Agglomeration (village/town) is the start of 50kh unless marked otherwise. So many never seem to lift their foot off the accelerator … 
they just go sailing on through, regardless.
It’s a mind-set I suppose, depending on which country you are used to driving in. Each has their own idiosyncrasies. 
Ha, yes there is a certain cadre of driver who plods along at 45 on a road with a sixty limit then proceeds to travel through a thirty zone without changing their speed one iota. Death is too good for them!!!

And, Paul (phew, got it right)… so many folk are still thinking in miles per hour, even though they are here in France…

Oh yes indeed… when I used to drive…OH put a blank disk over the miles and highlighted the kilometres…
Nowadays, modern cars take all this in their stride…
Happily, when I came to France I bought a French car so only had kph to worry about. 
With brexit on the horizon, the yUK will really be in the dark ages… maybe they’ll revert to using pounds and ounces again and measure speed in rods and perches. With most kids illiterate/innumerate these days how on earth will they count in base 12 with only 10 fingers?

One thing I hope they do re introduce is treason for the British saying bad things about their home land.

and reintroduce sending small boys up chimneys?
Right now on a job I am working on that would be really useful 
Yes, heads on spikes every 100 yards along the M20 from Dover to the M25, that’ll sort out the treasonous whingers and re-moaners. The old heads could be changed every fortnight, before they fell off. 
Gives new meaning to “Spike in drivers…”
