Not quite the internet but the start of it all, and world communication

Top Prize goes to....

Ex-bdc and Sellers.

It was indeed - Milk. On Horse and Cart.

Listening to Real Radio Wales, Today and there was a reporter from the Llanelli Star (Nothing unusual, he's on there evry week)... And they are cellebrating 100 Years as a newspaper..

He said that they were doing a 12 page supplement re-producing the stories over the last 100 Years.

One of them was the death of a local farmer who died in an RTC (Road Traffic Collision) on his horse & Cart.

Speaking of which - has anyone heard of Steptoe of late?
