Turns out my favourite Spitfire is actually a Seafire 46.

Purely based on looks.

If you haven't bought your kits for the next GB ,then try your local Lidal store. They have a limited range of Starter kits for £6.99, easy build for £8.99 and a few Revell kits for half price starting today. Don't worry about them running out as they will restock for the run up to Christmas.

So, we've had "Black Friday". Now, we have "Cyber Monday". What's next, "A I Tuesday", "Nanobot Wednesday"?

Am I the only one who's utterly sick and tired of being incessantly bombarded with these wretched sale offers? 🤬🤬😠.

Thing is, I cannot normally see Christmas far enough and,in a few weeks time we'll be getting the damned "January Sales" as well.

Followed by "Skynet Thursday", no doubt...

Just take advantage of them to get the things you want cheap, resist the blandishments to get things you don't want, and NEVER go looking to see if you could have got a better deal after committing to the one you took. If it was a bargain to you then, it's still a bargain to you now. FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) can paralyse you and rob you of joy if you let it.

Blame American marketing.

Wonder if we could put a tariff on it?

The only part about the whole "Christmas shopping season kickoff" is "Small Business Saturday," because it encourages folks to avoid the big box stores and shop local.  The rest of it is consumerism gone mad, and for a few years, moved into Thanksgiving Day.  The power of the purse killed that, thankfully.

But if you can tariff it, please do.
