    parking permits?

    I know the British have an over-abundance of legislation, but parking permits for a place with forks? Could cause a flat.:D

    Staithes are used in the transport of coal, so you know the area is known for coal since long time.

    Mmmm....British...transport of coal....I think I'm totally right about the place and the parking permits.
    Is there a most famous Wall in the vicinities?

    Hadrian's wall links Wallsend and the Tyne to the Solway coast area of outstanding natural beauty.

    can't get anywhere on the forks yet, or the missing men, though the whole region is depressed and has high unemployment.

    and then there's your island reference, Hoyt, though I'm wary of red herrings...:)

    That was my idea tooo.........

    anyway:

    I will be probably offline for a while.

    I´m going to the Aegean sea to make a survey for our young Turk member Ulas (urisvan). When we buy the junk it may happen we sail her to Istanbul. That is about 5 days all together.

    Have a nice time all!

    Regards
    Richard

    This is the great connector that the 2 places have in common.

    No missing men, but missing islands, get it? And where these are missing, some straightening was done.
