  6. R09, that's the Prince of Wales.
    The Queen Elizabeth is R08.

    Really strange for me that you should post that image today, as I was stood right there at the View Point in front of The Spice Island looking down the Harbour a couple of hours ago.

  11. I was in HK & PRC from 1994-2001. They use bamboo scaffolding because it flexes and 'gives' in a typhoon.

  14. Nah, the vast number of new UK residents have been arriving due to government issued visas.

    2023: Legal migrants issued with visas = 1.2 million people, illegal small boat folks = 29,437.

    But I didn't vote for them...

  17. Not heard that, but it seems logical. I guess thermal expansion comes into the mix too, especially on Putlog clamps. The bamboo is tied with plastic 'string'.
