| Free men do not ask permission to bear arms  |
In the NETFLIX series, people are seen carrying a small cardboard box with a string shoulder strap. What gives? A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone. The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots. | ||

Maybe, but the fear was poison gas, what with the last time ol' Jerry got frisky, he used stupid amounts of it.

Saw that recently in the series Home Fires that was on PBS. Never explained, but I figured that's what it was. No resources wasted on a fancy case for it. BTW welcome to Foyle's War. Our favorite TV series, bar none. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

I also greatly enjoy Foyle. It is a very well done series. | |||

It has been reported that Michael Kitchen, who plays Foyle, actually requested that he be given fewer lines for the series. From what I understand, he wanted to use his silence to draw out conversation from the others he was investigating. | |||

All of which reminds me I need to go re-watch it. "Common sense is wisdom with its sleeves rolled up." -Kyle Farnsworth "Freedom of Speech does not guarantee freedom from consequences." -Mike Rowe "Democracies aren't overthrown, they're given away." -George Lucas | |||

Foyle's War has been promoted to me by Netflix for the longest time. I recently sat down and watched the first episode. It takes a little getting used to the "pace", but I was soon hooked. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Majority of it filmed in and around my home town in East Sussex! His TV house is up the road from the church where I was baptized. https://www.google.com/maps/@5...i4128!8i3096!6m1!1e1 "Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need" Will Rogers SIG 229R LEGION SAO SIG 226R Elite SAO SIG 226R DA/SA | |||
