Classic Tracks

Post by Bob Bull »

JB, a little more detail on the actual location of your spectacular launch would be appreciated, from personal experience I know that 'at Silverstone' is insufficient information.

Have you hired the Wing, are you based in the 'old' paddock, the South circuit, a pit garage? One can spend a lot of time wandering about the site if unsure of where to head for.
Bob.

What do you describe as the usual office? Upstairs in officials building?

"Usual offices"
Defined by Wikipedia as:
The usual offices is a former euphemism which may refer to either: bathrooms or toilets as places of urination and defecation; outhouses and other pit toilets.
Can we be reassured that we don't sign on in the lavatory? :shock:

As only the singular was used any interpretation other than the intended would refer to a position of authority. ie Bishop, Minister of State although in the latter case there could easily be some crossover.

Anyway do you not have better things to do right now?

Could you explain this please? Crossover in what sense?

Sorry if my meaning was obscure, the intention was to link 'Ministers of State' with the subject of your original definition of 'the usual offices'.
