Are Boyes only open 10am-2pm like they are here? I suspect some evil cabal are using the pandemic to teach people to queue properly again.

Had the British finally given up queueing? I jumped the queue for a pedestrian light 17 years ago and I am sure that I heard someone say "Don't you know there is a war on?".

Queueing has declined much in recent years in favour of the italian charge.

Possibly, I only saw in passing. Though the usual Boyes coustomer won't mind queing. They only go there for the social element anyway.

I've never been into Boyes, so I'll take your word for it.

Fortunately one of my local hobby shops does click and collect so for routine consumables I'm sorted.

Since Her Majesties Government have just given me a wedge of cash I decided to reinvest a small portion of it buying a 28mm Matilda FROG from Butlers' Printed Models.

I've got a WW2 Aussie Army as a backburner project and need something to scare the Beejezus out of a mate's Japanese.

Matilda is guaranteed to frighten the bejaysus out of the Japs.

Frog was the flamethrower version, or was it the one with landmattress rockets on the rear deck?

I thought the Frog had the anti submarine thing on the back deck (squid?).
