Also at the time of 2021/22 census, 16% of people in the UK had been born abroad. 1 in 6. So that group are actually less likely to be in prison.

Its a nonsense headline.

As always, an interesting and informative analysis. Hope the backing music isn't going to become a thing though !

Well, after setting up my ebay search over 12 years ago I've finally managed to get a set of the Small Faces miniatures by George Doswell, as featured on the cover of Paul Weller's Stanley Road LP

Yep it was the Indians I was considering needing most work - I'm sure that won't be a problem in 10mm πŸ™„

Oh great thanks, i know Michael !

I'm in 2 minds about 10 or 15mm. 10 means a bit of converting but I enjoy making life difficult!

Good tip thank you.

My vague idea at the moment is to do a multi-level project. Platoon with CoC up to operational with maybe O group. With some clever basing, I may be able to make most of the same figures work at these different levels

Its in my plans for next year. My main initial source has been the excellent book by Farrell.

Haven't read this one though, would be interested in your thoughts
