⚠️Danger⚠️ Phone on Plane
10 years ago, we were ALL told to turn off our phones and laptops because it messed with the flight navigation system. As a pilot, I knew that it wasn't true, BUT we all followed the rules anyway.
FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.
Now, many years later, we are told that we can indeed have our phones in use during flight. It was NEVER a danger. Common sense told us that it was never a danger, but we all conformed -
FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.
Today we are told to have our phones in flight mode during take off and landing - as if that makes a difference.
Again - we all kind of know it isn't true - but we do it anyway
FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.
We like to scold the guy still checking his email right before take off because he is putting ALL of our lives in danger. He obviously doesn't care about THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.
Like the phone on the plane, I wonder....
how long will it take before we ALL realize that WEARING A MASK IS EXACTLY THE SAME.
@sinbach @tanjaostman @bethany yep. He even reunites with his wife. How much romantic can a film possibly be?
@sinbach my grandad never said much of the war
But he amazed me with the little he rarely said
Watching Ghandi (the film) "oh, my grandad was his bodyguard" the room was a bit stinned
While looking at the man, with thick glasses, shaky hands, and watching a war film "I used to win awards for my unit in sniper competitions" another stunned room
Captured by the Japanese in Burma. Stripped and told there were no bars, just jungle. So he legged it and escaped
The generation above us did amazing things for us.
I only hope our children will be able to say the same of us!
What a precious memory you have
I've never shot a gun in the UK. my Jo has...SA80 when she she in the territorial army, and pistols when she applied for the armed police...she came back every day with a huge grin on her face...I still remember the smell of gun oil...
Your memory sparked good memories for me too 🙂

@TakeN Amazing! You have a gift of seeing the details. You then emphasize certain characteristics in what you see and (in my thinking) you join in fellowship with God in His creativity in nature and also through you.
@TakeN awesome image!
@MaryMamuzich comes from a town called Andover in Hampshire - we used to regularly drive past the factory, a number of years ago
Your Jerry goes up and up in my...even drinking the same tea I do...must have tremendous taste that man :-)
@MaryMamuzich that looks a lot posher than the one we buy 🙂
Oddly, and I have no clue how I know this (my head is full of things that aren't all that helpful), but I had heard that some great tea comes out of Seattle...
My favourite brand is an English one - Twinings. I've tried supermarket own brands, but they usually go straight into the bin after my first mugful. I'm on decaf everything now (personal choice) and that makes it a little trickier.. earl grey decaf tea bags are not cheap, sadly
I can not source decaf loose leaf earl grey tea anywhere...
There are plenty of suppliers over here of tea (as you'd expect) but that's my personal favourite
For daily tea we use PG tips. Steven loves his mint tea, and we try to get it, loose, from another, smaller English company, called TeaPigs (they also do my very favourite herbal tea - Mint and Liquorice)
