How come the “local residents” haven’t weighed it in
You're not implying that the Mail are/were German sympathisers?
😎
The clue is in where it was found Tony🤪How come the “local residents” haven’t weighed it in
If it went off it could cause massive improvements to their site.How come the “local residents” haven’t weighed it in
I recall a RAF WW2 bomb being found an excavation in the Tiergarten Park in Berlin. The senior police officer who attended was asked by the British construction manager charge of the works how he was going to move it.
The policeman said, "Me move it?? you put it there, you move it!! "
When I worked in the steel works that wouldn't have stopped them. They broke in to the scrap bay to nick the scrap and then sell it back to the scrappy over the road
I should imagine that area was a target for the germans , with or without the Daily Mail's help, as RAF Pengam Moors was operational as an airport , wasnt it?
Yes it was, not sure if its still there but there was a boozer called the Airport, Currans had their munitions factory there before moving to Curran Road, middle of the road politics, just facts!!.
Nah, Janet’s Pantry & Gazzi’s Chip Shop were the obvious targets, places that were keeping the workers going😂😂
When I was working over the GKN/ASW Tremorfa site, the gipsies were known to use a HIAB to lift steel wire coils from over the fence - each coil weighed 1.5 - 2 tons!
We then moved the stock further away from the perimeter fence, however, they'd send someone in with band cutters (metal snips), cut all 4 bands holding the coil together, so it then became one big mess, and then casually stroll in the steel mill and ask if we wanted their help to dispose of it!
That area was massively hit in WWII. The Steel Works and docks were targetted.
On one night of bombing Cardiff, one Luftwaffe bomber mistook the Irish Sea for the Severn Estuary and bombed Cork City by mistake.
Between 1940 and March 1944 approximately 2,100 bombs fell on Cardiff killing 355 people.
I'd never realised that so many bombs had been dropped on Cardiff. I mean, if someone said 50-100 bombs had been dropped, that would seem quite a lot, but bloody over 2,000!
Nowhere near as many as Swansea gotI'd never realised that so many bombs had been dropped on Cardiff. I mean, if someone said 50-100 bombs had been dropped, that would seem quite a lot, but bloody over 2,000!
I was aware of that. London, Coventry....
So we don’t get everything 🤪🤪
