"As regards the takeover whilst there is still no news, still nothing confirmed, now BBC Newcastle understands that.... I mean we were thinking early this week, we're now thinking probably towards the end of this week, or, if not beyond....... from what I can gather there is nothing to be concerned about for Sunderland supporters, it's just taking a while."

Whether they're getting genuine info or just making things up, who knows? :)

Quite. We were so far down among the brown stuff eighteen months ago that as we were is nowt to be sniffed at .
We'll see. No reason at all to doubt those who have posted in best faith. If there are new wealthy people interested in getting involved champion, monorail or no monorail!
If they come on board it cannot fail to help us.

Covering all the angles more like, or not wanting to cause an immediate Mag meltdown if they give any hint it's imminent.

Surely the caulk would be set on fire by the welding and hot rivets

I think not, dear boy. There are others on here who will possess expertise in the subject. I am not one of them. But, as I understand it, in riveted steel or iron ship construction, caulking was a process of rendering seams watertight by driving a thick, blunt chisel-like tool into the plating adjacent to the seam. This had the effect of displacing the metal into a close fit with the adjoining piece. So, no flammable corking material to catch aleet. Unlike the owld wooden sailing ships where oakum was used. Now that would have been flammable. There again, I don't think there'd have been any welding or steel riveting required....
