You may remember Dial-a-Cab driver Glen Roberton
(E54) asking last year in Call Sign if any DaC
driver wanted to make up the numbers for a trip around the Greek
Islands in the 50 foot sailing cruiser that Glen and his three chums
own. Were you one of those who phoned up too late and regretted it? Well here’s another chance! From October 3 to October 21, Glen and co will once again be taking a leisurely cruise around those same Greek Islands and at the time of going to press, they still had vacancies for two guests to |
DIAL-A-SAILING CRUISER ROUND THE GREEK ISLANDS! |
|
| join them
for part or all of the trip. If any DaC driver is interested in sailing, learning to sail or perhaps thinks he would look good posing on a floating Gin Palace (!!) the . cost is £50 per day plus your own travelling costs. That fifty quid includes all grub, drink on board, fuel, port charges and boat insurance! Glen told Call Sign that to be fair to everyone, they have to operate a "first come first served" policy. So if you regretted missing |
 You could be cruising round the Greek in this for £50 a day! out last year or just
fancy what |

LTI PRESENT SOUTHEND FUEL CHEQUE TO LTFUC |

In the September issue of Call Sign, we
reported on another excellent LTFUC kids outing to Southend and how
LTI Vehicles had donated £1,000 to pay for driver’s fuel costs and
help give those 250 underprivileged youngsters a day out at the
seaside. In the photo, Richard Daniels, new LTI Government Affairs Manager, hands over a cheque for £1,000 to the Chairman of the fund, Dial-a-Cab’s David Lessman (D19). Richard told Call Sign: "LTI Vehicles is delighted to have been able to contribute to the success of the |
day and we would like to thank all the drivers and
carers for the fantastic job they did." |

recall some months ago I wrote about the 200-inch Athens Display TV
- the biggest available TV on the market. Well, that television is
like a manky portable compared to my latest discovery on that
never-ending network of interesting stuff, the Internet! Mitsubishi Electric has completed construction of the world's largest high-definition (HDTV) video screen - the Toshiba 2651 - at a horse track in Tokyo. The screen uses Mitsubishi's Aurora Vision LED technology and measures 37feet by 218feet, giving it a surface area of 8,000+ square feet, or the equivalent of 3 tennis courts! Mitsubishi manufactured the screen for the Japan Racing Association (JRA) at its Nagasaki factory. The screen was divided into 35 pieces for delivery to the Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu. The bright, high-definition display is 3 times larger |
than what
was previously installed at the horse track and the screen's three sections allow the audience to take in the action at other tracks. Total cost is reported to be 3.2 billion yen (£15 million). There is more info about this at Mitsubishi’s Japanese website www.mitsubishielectric.co.jp but don’t bother going there unless you speak Japanese! However, one athletic reporter in Japan recorded a video of herself sprinting from one end of the 2,651inch monster to the other in 12.8 seconds! You'd have to stack 1,550 32inch TVs to match the size of this mother of all TV screens. You can view the video at HERE - again, it's all in Japanese - but don't worry, as the visuals will blow you away! Jonathen Winterburn |
