Modern Commer Replacement

Best we get to page 15 asap then to put some distance between us and p*ge *3  (I'm not going to say it again in case it is cursed. As with "The Scottish Play", I suggest it should now be referred to as "That Page"

'Afore Burnham Wood do come to Dunsinane', if I remember my Shakespear correctly.

How about 'That OTHER Page'

'Afore Burnham Wood do come to Dunsinane', if I remember my Shakespear correctly.

Gibberish - close - "Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane,
I cannot taint with fear."   Macbeth, 5. 3

So presumably we're OK until the woods start marching -    How many beers does it take for that to happen?

Oh No!!!  Not the trees.............!!!!!

Although I must say that on the day we won the world cup, a tree came to my aid, as did a set of traffic lights. They were the only stable things I could grab hold of to hold myself up when trying to walk home!

Mark

Oh no, my English teacher would be mortified  

Did you look that up Mark, or did you know it straight off?

My english teacher wouldn't have been mortified, just astounded if I had remembered a Shakespeare quote accurately, so honest injun on this one - from the dim and hazy memory of it from school days it didn't look quite right, so I admit to looking it up!  

[gibberish]

How very honest, the Commer would be proud of you as long as we don't mention The Other Page

Now you could of course go for both in one.................

Maybe you could turn the tree into something as well

I was just wondering whether we should start something like the Commer Awards.  AZ gets the frist prize for being the owner, but I can't help wondering what other categories we might be able to think up.  Most original use of a Commer?  Most silly suggestion for what to do with a Commer?  Scariest Commer Moment (see 'The Other Page')

Highest speed achieved by a Commer ....... vertically from the top of Beachy Head

Now that was uncalled for and just so unkind - that's the sort of thing you do to an Austin Allegro.........
Go for a few tasteful modifications like this to assess the speed at which lift is obtained when launched down a runway......

Austin Allegro indeed sir  How dare you use such foul language on this site, and especially in the illustrious company of the Commer.  Wash your mouth out with soap.

It sounds like we're heading back full circle to a jet engined Commer

My dear chap, it was merely to illustrate the sheer quality and noble breed of the Commer set against such trash as the Allegro, when someone suggests chucking one off Beachy Head to check the accuracy of the 32 feet per second per second rule.   If the Taylor Aerocar could do it in 1954 (see picture below) then I am sure that strapping a couple of wings and a tail on the Commer would work to add a new dimension to the trip to Le Mans.......
