Well in some places if you passed 11+ it let you go, but you still had to pay. the system has been mostly phased out now. In my day there were about 100 places to be won. Now I think its 10.
 
 I would be laying bricks right now if it were not for that.
 
 Yes this was Stamford. My parents never moved whilst I was at school.

Though I've seen Concords on the tarmac, I never even had the priviledge of booking one when I was a travel agent. Even all of the Kennedys and the country clubbers, and other elites that I dealt with opted out of that hefty fare.
 
 I once heard the drone of a Stealth Bomber fly directly over my apartment and then crash only about a second or so later.   :eek:

I just heard an NBC News report that said that the Concorde was "legendary" for flying at more than twice the speed of "light". Hell, if that was true "legendary" wouldn't even begin to describe it.

Hahaha. Goes to show how bad news reporting has gotten.
 
 Time travelers, anyone?

It was probably in a hurry to get to the middle-east for Bush's 'continued occupation' of Iraq.  :D
