Its my heated Garage Annexe (originally a fish house) it's my old Police Whistle in the background - no longer issued but back in 1971 our old VHF Radios had so many black spots that we relied on Phone Boxes to make hourly "Points" you would wait outside a phone box at a set time waiting for a call. Whistles were more for City Policing to try to get back up during an arrest.

The small sticker is a spare - the Austrian Flag that I display on the boot of my car - I was born in Klagenfurt in 1948 coming to the UK when I was five. I'm now a British Subject applying for Naturalisation when I was 12/13 yrs old. I have family who still live in Klagenfurt - I see myself as Austrian probably because my late mother managed to get us out of post war Austria as a single Mum when it was not fashionable. Sadly troubled by the war losing all three of her brothers who were conscripted into the German Army - her youngest died on his first day of action on the Russian Front. Only one has a proper grave that is in Crete - Malema.
