Just for fun..!!

Yes.... super this juste for fun..
nice Sunday Keith

Thank you Ulrich.

Printing blocks?

Of a sort yes..........

I'm tied up in knots .... ;-))

Thanks for joining in Amelia.

Pour inscrire sur des colis à la poste ?
Y a-t-il un anagramme ?

No...to your first question. Yes, to your second :-)

ah .. OK

Can't decipher...but it's sharp and interesting, Keith!

Thanks Judite.

For me, RNB = Rhythm and Blues... but I don't see the relation!

Ha, ha.........thanks Typo. For me RNB means Royal Naval Barracks :-))

I believe they are type pieces / blocks / for a printer... and 'knot' Re. a ships speed... so something to print details of.. regarding a ships speed.. Ok. I;m wrong your cheque is in the post... ;-)

Ha, ha, nice try David...........at least you got the maritime connection!

Well it’s your name and they print

Yes, my name, but they don't quite print in the conventional sense.

These were issued to me in 1968 when I joined the Royal Navy as a Junior Seaman (along with around 200 others). Pretty soon after arrival we were given numerous items of uniform and other kit which we had to learn to look after and wear.

Each piece of kit had to be marked with our names in black or white paint (depending on the colour of the item), using these letters. This was to stop our kit being lost or stolen and also to stop us swapping items with each other. If it wasn't practical to mark up an item in this way (such as socks) we were required to embroider our names on it.

I''m sorry this has been a bit obscure, but thanks for joining in. I think Janano and Amelia were the closest to being correct, and well done to Dan for realising there was an anagram. As for David...........I'll be waiting for that cheque :-)))

Oh wow! What a task! I didn’t know you had embroidery skills

Ha, ha it took us all a couple of days to complete it between doing other stuff. I wouldn't call my embroidery skillful..........in fact I wouldn't call it embroidery, but I got away with it :-)))

......... it's a rubber one !...

Story of my life :-)))

Got to ser this too late!
In the Merchant Navy we had to mark our stuff too but only clothes not to be mixed in the laundry service!
Great contribution

Ha, ha...............laundry service? We had to wash and iron our own uniforms etc, in a huge communal wash-house.

Glad you like it Isabel..............I had no idea you were in the Merchant Navy.............you're full of surprises!

Former superintendant and cpt, well, now I forgot almost all about it !

I feel as if I ought to be calling you Ma,am and saluting :-))

NO, LOL !
I am retired…

OK Ma'am :-)))

Si on multiplie le nombre de lettres par le chiffre de leur place dans l'alphabet on obtient un chiffre total. On calcule la racine carrée de ce chiffre. Ensuite, on calcule l'âge qu'avait la reine Elisabeth a chacune des années que tu cite et on divise chaque chiffres de son âge avec la racine carrée obtenue préalablement. On obtient: 007. . Oh my God !!

You sir, are a mathematical genius..!! I had no idea that was the case!

:-)))

moi non plus, c'est une inspiration soudaine

:-)))

I would never have guessed, but I have read all of the comments :-)
I thought when I saw the picture that it would be something to do with your navy days.
A good and fun idea.

I've been having a clear out of some old RN bits and bobs and I thought these would make a good photo. I can't bring myself to chuck them out! Glad you approve Rosa.

Da hast du ja ein tolles Motiv ausgesucht lieber Keith,wäre da nie drauf gekommen,da hast du wieder für eine tolle Darstellung gesorgt :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))
