Hi
This Zeta `was Nick Polls which he took to France and (I believe) has since sold.
Nice to know were it went though, Fred Diwell would probably be very interested.
(if he doesn't already know)

PS I heard the other day that our friend "Zeta Sports" who had to dispose of his cars because he "does not have long to live"
may in fact not be ready to shed his mortal coil any faster than the rest of us, so thats good news for him

To save the world and reduce energy consumption in line with Government policy I have replaced my Mortal Coil with a six volt one second hand Siba one. It has slowed me down a little and I need the odd bump start but if we all did the same we would all be so much better off by stopping global warming. The saving means I have bought a new wood burner for keeping warm now it will stay colder because I have been green. The next move was to replace my 'idea' light bulb with a rare gas energy saving one free from NPower. Two problems. It was a screw in, though that is less dangerous to life than a bayonet fit. Bought the tears to my eyes though. Then the trouble is I found I was a bit dim for the first 15 minutes and the damage and mess caused took so much time to sort out that there was no saving to be had. I therefore have returned to the Osram Tungsten Filament of Imagination.
For those who are confussed this has nothing to do with Zetas

Hi, as you may know, I am Nick Poll's son. He sold it to Francisco De Cunto from Italy.
Hope that helps!

WTF? Zeta Garbo? I guess it's got to do with Jim Garbo?

You've got to admire the man wth a name like that.

Isn't he the doorman at the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys & Girls.... 8)
"WTF"? Ah, they made a version of the Fuldamobil in the '50s didn't they? ;)
-
'WTF' is the Worldwide Trilobite Fund isn't it? The first bank with deposits everywhere.
Zeta Garbo was a German Lady tractor driver who was restyled into an actress, had a bit of a break down and did a few B movies under the name Zeta after a face lift in Australia. Was not a great hit unfortunately. Not allot of people know dat.
Franki and Jim are just nice guys.
I am wondering about moving to the Wirral, Richard. Any suggestions....
-
Thought you meant " Greta Garbo" ! ;D
-
thinking of moving to wirral big al ? lived here all my life dont know what that says about wirral or me . if your serious gimme a ring - never sure if you are tho ;)
-
No I thought you would suggest I look elsewhere for being wierd!
That said part of my family came from the Wirral. Shipping family, the Dempsters, Stevenson-Jones Marble Importers etc. Chums with Lord Birkenhead. Had money in those days so a holiday house out at Conway. Owned Ranaliegh (?) Buildings in Liverpool. I believe there was a printers there too. Know little about the place myself other than when we visied you and Dave Smeddley (?), he of Smash robot and Trienkel fame. Kind of nice to go down the front like you can from yours.
-
only just found your reply al .missed it somehow. yes my family also had money back in the day ;) great , great grandfathers funeral had 26 horsedrawn carriages in the cortege !! also the " robots "( traffic lights) were turned off for the procession to pass. i often wonder where the money went !!
-
Well ours was squandered in Italy by a member of the family gamboling the investments to be spent on marble to import to Liverpool. He used to own Winford Hall down below Bristol, which he lost, but the company in Liverpool never recovered and lost its cartel. The fascinating thing is there is a Stevenson-Jones Marble Importers in America. It has to be a relation but cannot link it in. The builders built a dam that broke, so did they as a result! All in all some really bad investment management of all the bunts earned merchant venturing which I quite understand now as my siblings are continuing the pattern by botching my Mother's Estate while I am forced to watch these last 5 years as they loose my inheritance! Will anyone listen to the only one who ran several successful business, no. The pattern is a generation makes the money, the next live on it and the third squander it. It seems to be true. Therefore I have decided to leave what I do not spend of my earned Estate outside the direct family as they do not deserve to spend it. Likewise I will not be issuing any more hand outs to sob stories. Fortunately I never counted on any of my families money, my folks died rather young, so what ever I get is a bonus.
I wonder if your family has a similar tale to tell. Many do I fear as they miss understand how to use and what money is for. It is all to easy to get rid of it permanently. Ask Mr Brown.
