I'd imagine the core members of EMLRA are possibly even more old codgerish and Facebook adverse so I just don't get making the forum essentially 'pay to view'

I`m a full member of EMLRA but hadn't visited the site for a while. You'd think paying members would have been told about these changes, but I`ve not received anything.

When I last looked in on the new site, there were a pitiful 5 posted topics across the 5 main categories, so it seems that everything that came before has been lost. It`s sad to see any club go under, but didn`t someone say, use it or lose it?

It`s another sign of the times, as in the same way the younger generation are much less likely to watch television, instead they get everything on their phones.

Whatever magic the S2C    is making, lets keep on making it, because it seems to be bucking a very sorry trend 

I'm a late middle aged codger and I just don't get Facebook. As far as I can see, the screen shows about 20% stuff which might be relevant to me and 80% general rubbish or videos of morons doing stupid things. Maybe I'm old before my time, but can't really see the point of it. Also too many people happy to shoot others down for asking questions. A firm is nice - it's self contained and no other flannel there to bother you.

I'm not on Facebook and I'll never be on Facebook. I'd better not express my opinion of those who are.

nice one space-kook, thanks

Have Facebook groups killed off most forums?

I think that has a lot to do with it.


This forum keeps relatively active I suspect, because of the old codgers on here who don't use FB very much.


Anyone disagree...? 

Travelled in convoy with Dave Marin  to Jerveaulx Abbey campsite Road join in the Yorkshire area campong weekend.  An interesting road from Kettlewell to Middleham.

Yes, the wheel cylinders seem to be yet another disposable item!

Hi,

I am sure that I have read somewhere ... possibly in an obscure RAF manual ... that every three years, the entire hydraulic system should be flushed out, and all rubbers replaced with new. OK, I was demobbed in 1967, when some vehicle were still needing RED Girling fluid,

We were told that Lockheed fluid would cause Girling rubbers to swell up and sieze, but I never met that myself.

The Military wanted all fluids to be interchangeable amongst the NATO fraternity, which I assume led to Girling being forced to join the club.

PS. Which part of Great Britain is still "technically" at war with Russia?

Sorry, someone back there mentioned the TRE nuts and I got confused.
Easily done when you're in a hurry and don't read the posts fully.
