The latest edition of the Morgan-Post is now out, and is it's usual bumper package packed full of reports on social occasions, technical articles, event reports including the Le Mans Classic, with plenty of fine pictures to accompany the text.
A number of well known names appear in picture and print, as well as a item on the Oak Racing Morgan. All-in-all a most interesting publication .............................
If only I spoke German.
Any linguists out there?
Bob.

Kind regards (to all the Singletons)

Please enlighten this sorry excuse for journalist with flair.

Bob – as you say - Morgan Post is in German. But Morgan World is in English and produced by well known Morgan garage owner Melvyn Rutter (near Bishops Stortford). It is a good magazine but it is not free !
For info on Suffolk accents the expert is Charlie Haylock.
I am a bit confused as to your accent – Battersea or Barnet ?

That sounds more like a Glasgow accent - am I right?

Just been on YouTube and heard many of the songs by The Singing Postman....great stuff!
Also found songs by Tommy Cooper including Don't jump off the roof dad, you'll make a hole. In the yard.
Am I getting a bit distant from your initial thread Bob?

I was just thinking that as nice as it is to hear from all you nice people it was not getting the baby bathed. Here I sit with a wealth of information at my fingertips and totally unable to access it, and receiving no help whatsoever from assorted Morgan drivers. On the bright side it is good to know that conductors of a true ENGLISH sports car, do not have any truck with the losers of WW1/2. Good on yer bros.

Question; Why are the majority of Tony Lees' contributions simply links to other sites?
Question 2; What has happened to Jack Bellinger lately? Is he overworked at his stall in Chelsea market?
Guten Tag.
Herr Bob.
