It was not that clear and I hope it is possible to read. Aplologies if it is too indistinct. Taken today (July 3rd 2010). Despite it all seemingly to have gone OK up to when I posted the attachment image last night no image has appeared. I assume that I am doing something wrong, though I don't know what (the image was well in the size limit and was a .jpg format). I notice my post has what looks like a paper clip with a + sign on it that if I hover a cursor over it mentions about adding an attachment. I did click on that last night after the image did not appear but it made no difference. It's not the first time I've failed to load images. I give up! I've got a pic of it along with a few others waiting to load, will try to get round to it sometime. I look forward to those Cardiarms. In the mentime I shall here try once more to post a message with a picture!

Well no surprise there as the photo failed again to appear! Why are images not showing with posts that I send? Everything seems OK and I even get the preview image before sending but nothing ever appears when I post! I use IE8 and AOL so perhaps that may be a reason, or maybe the SL system just does not like me! :-)

Don't take it to heart Leodian. We know SL doesn't like firefox and chrome amongst others for uploading files. IE was reported as successful but I don't know IE8 has been mentioned in those dispatches.

Ta for the sympathy. :-) From what I can tell from many posts in lots of threads I am not the only one that has image posting problems!

I think its 2 shillings and sixpence possibly ?? There appears to be quite a clear "6" astride the vertical white line.
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

Apologies forpicture quality.Took it today- Sunday,during the week there is usually a car parked in front of it.Then today - took the photo with phone camera,loaded mini SD card to laptop,picture upside down and cold not rotate it.Put mini SD in adapter into camera and it would not read it.Printed A4 sheet of photo-photographed it with camera and eventually posted it-hence [edited for content] image.Will try again with proper camera
