Didn't look like a bundle of laughs it must be said.
Now watching the Abandoned Engineering thing which today includes concrete ships used as a breakwater in Canada, the joys of the Spanish Civil War, and now artificial caves built of ferroconcrete in Germany.
At 20:00 we have "World War Weird".
Which is about a Russian "tank" with wheels from 1915, the Jap soldier who fought WWII until 1975, the acoustic mirrors in the south east, and the final lunacy, the nuclear powered igloo.
None of which compares with the surreal lunacy of the chicken warmed nuke that started the season off.
The Pacific War in Color commences at 21:00, with the pus filled Bad Skin programme on Quest Red at 22:00.
So if an acre is a furlong x 1 chain, then a rood is a furlong x 1 rod, pole, or perch.
Curious.
When we were still in Liverpool (so when I was very young, probably eight or so) one of our teachers took us out one day to measure the length of a road by the school with an actual chain - a proper measuring one, presumably intended for use by surveyors. I have no idea why a primary school recently built on an estate in Liverpool had such an item of kit, but it made a nice change from being in the classroom
This is the length of road in question: Google Maps
