Tagging edits continue apace, I've got to G,
with a diversion at P (for 'Police') where I extended the use of 'Caribinieri'
and 'Guarda Civil'. I had G.G. and G∙G for that large resin Guardsman
Peter Evens sent to the Blog, but with ascii code I've done them both as G•G, which will do them forever as I'm unlikely to tag them a third
time and if I do, that's in the tag-index now.
The previous (and politically incorrect) 49
'Firemen' tags have been corrected to 'Firefighter' and/or 'Fire Chief', 'Fire
Engine', 'Fire Wagon' (and one 'Fireman Sam'!), while the only 'Florescent Toy'
has reverted to the 'Glow-in-the-dark Toy' tag, which although longer is more
likely to be searched on.
'Fram' has gone and the 'Farm' tag has an
additional post, without me having to publish anything! While the 5 'Frogmen'
have gone, but 'Divers' have been divided into 'Divers - Deep' and 'Divers - Frogmen'
with an additional 'Mini-Sub's' tag, again, to make it easier for loyal readers
(or casual visitors . . . even my "emies"!)
to find stuff.
'Fun-Tastic' has been lost to increase the
'Funtastic' tag, as it's clear from cursory research they are two arms of the
same import/jobber outfit, both sides of the pond. But 'Funtastik' stays as
someone else's brand-mark.
Received With Thanks
Brian B sent stuff for ITLAPD and RTM a few
weeks ago, which was useful as I've given little thought to either!
Then Pontiac Jason sent some lovely imagery
and info from the 'States on Florida's Highlander, so
more to add there!
Chris Smith sent a mass of stuff last week,
follow-ups and general interest, and then both he and Brain sent more this week; Brian a
mass of Lucky-lorry follow-up and Chris more 'items of interest'!
And just as the shutdown struck we had
PW17-something drop through the door, for which I must do the review and there
were the two parcels from Brian and Peter Evans which have been covered.
Many thanks to all for all, it's piling-up a bit, but I'm not complaining, and it will all get used, witness this afternoon's post with contribution from two readers.
WTFBay - Got 10,000-Quid Going Spare?
Evil Empire - Worth a Read
There's little point in toy-industry news
while the global economy is turning to a fluid of shit-soup, but the author of
this piece thinks the Nottingham Mafia are a safe bet and he's probably right!
