    OT. Talking about Caroline Lucas.. Last week I followed a lead........I saw an extraordinary boat in Villefranche harbour so thinking it must be a Russian oligarch who had escaped the blockade I went onto 'Vessel Finder' and discovered it had cost £350,000,000 and was the most expensive boat in the world. It was not however owned by an oligarch but by one of only five black billionaires in the world. A Jamaican banker. The site went on to say he had just sold it to a Canadian involved in Green energy........

    There's obviously money in going Green. Who'd have thought!

    Incidentally, whilst in Southampton last week, I came across this little beauty at Ocean Village:

    When it was built in 1958, it was the fastest yacht in the world. IMV it looks much better than the modern ones.

    I don’t wish to alarm anybody but I’m now editing PB until Monday.

    Heavy fighting, Ukrainian tank advances, overnight in around Orikhiv, southeast of Zaporizhzhya, and Tokmak, per local Russian official. "There is a high-intensity battle going on right now."

    Interesting location.
    I would have chosen further east, from Vuhledar towards Volnovakha and Mariupol.
    Shhh, you'll trigger some PBers! How *dare* you have opinions on this war? ;)
    As Strawberry Field Marshall of the PB Toy Soldiers (Armchair Regiment), you’d know all about that.
    I object to the implication that there's anything wrong with toy soldiers.
    This thread unaccountably brings back memories of the Beano of rather a long time ago.

    Centurion tanks, Westland Whirlwinds, and I think the illustrator got a Blackburn Beverly and a Flying Boxcar mixed up
