<< Subject: RE: THE  LADS

I was watching scrapheap challenge (junkyard wars) with my eight year
old 
daughter,

the challenge was to build a "tank" armed with a potato gun. Over the
intro a 
ARV

is seen plowing through the mud of a driving range. At this point my
daughter 
says

"Daddy that's not a tank!", I asked why not - "well it's got tracks and
armour

but no gun". 10 minutes later another clip is run (this of an Abbot
SPG).

"Daddy he's done it again!", "Done what?", "Well he said it was a WWII
tank, 
and

it looked like some kind of modern self propelled gun to me." I'm not
sure if

I should be worried or not.
