.........nice view from this campsite here at Wanaka South Island New Zealand.

The caravan and motorhomes shown are not British built but nearly all caravans I have seen here are.
All the well known UK brands must have a healthy export trade to NZ and the locals must like them.
Lovely Spring weather here and 22degC

 

[Craigyoung]

Looks like it's short enough for the pencil fairy to steal.

I see it has a USB connector on one end, but what is it?

Use it? It would take 20 minutes to find my glasses so that I could see it.

[Craigyoung]

Thats way before my time !!! Twas wood rulers when i got to school !!

 

[Martin24]

Got a couple kicking about but not used for a long time.

 

[Gabsgrandad]

Anseo , still got mine, (and battery still hasn't gone flat) - don't think it's been used since 1965. (Will get it out later to see if it still works, -- will let you know!)

Gabs mine is the solar powertype Thornton Comprehension, . The usb connection was optional.

I must have got rid of my plastic one, but still have my old circa 1967 bamboo one, which had an area under the slider that one could write a few aide memoires, if so inclined.

Non member apologises.

 

[Mel]

No apology necessary. It's like Quantum physics, everyone is both simultaneously a Woosie and a non Woosie.

So thats what the scratchings are, .

 

[Gabsgrandad]

"A few aide memoirs!" Ah yes I remember them well!
'Dug ' mine out, (bit yellowed) but even in original case, + 60 year old sellotape.

Tried simple X, and ÷ , but the memory bank seems to be failing after that, (and that's not the rules fault) -- Thank God for modern electrickery!

 

[JamesH]

Do you remember log tables ? Hint,, they were not used to cut logs on.

 

[otherclive]

Yes and still have a couple of sets. But would need a course to show me how to use them again.

 

[Mel]

I remember SOHCAHTOA, the ancient logarithmic volcano. I remember how to use log tables. What I can't remember is why I used log tables. Didn't seem to get much application once I left school; but then my career was not in engineering or physics.
Mel
P.S. I got an A in trigonometry at O level, but can't remember much about that either

Wasn't she a Native American princess who saved Capt John Smith some hundreds of years back?

What are those strange contraptions in the previous pictures?
Log tables I remember, just.
Maths is a closed burned and buried book to me, I'm afraid. Passed GCSE when I was 37, thanks to the course work!!
Re September RSVP. Sadly that's the end of our first week of term, and for a weekend, the East coast is only doable by plane for a weekend, so we will, sadly, have to decline.
Wish I was in NZ, though...

 

[Gafferbill]

......plenty of scenery in NZ :cheer:

 

[Martin24]

A beautiful country. :cheer:
