In this context, "taking" refers to receiving, but the photo shows ALL light strips contacting EVERY ship, when in fact EACH ship was firing ("giving") in to potential air targets,

Boy, kids today wouldn't cry! What a contrast!!

Allied ships taking anti-aircraft fire by the Luftwafa? Something wrong with that statement.

The clip of hop pickers in Great Britain, can be better described as: ‘Furiners “on holiday” from East London stringing hop bines in Kent, England.‘

I think the ships are giving fire, not receiving fire.

That policeman was probably asking the child where his parents were.

Today I learned cops didn't have shit to do in 1892.

Anyone who still wonders what "plus-fours" are, behold the stylish Cambridge grads. Knickerbockers an extra four inches long.
More money than taste?

Those two dudes wearing them weird looking shorts Cambridge over in England I ain't never seen anybody wear shorts like that in any old picture those things suck.

[pagansquaddie]

It's good to see that the trend setters from Cambridge created an entire fashion trend for Mexican Gangbangers with the three quarter length shorts and pulled up white knee socks 👍

Stop photographing!!! You're interfering with an investigation. This is quite a caper. There's a promotion in this for me I'm certain. What a horrendous crime! Keep your hands where I can see them. One more peep...ok, that's it! You're going to baby jail.

I sure hope we never see a Barack image at mt . Rushmore
