indeedsir_backupRules:
1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3) PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.
RATING: I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)
PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible.
Decided to Google events on this date in history and came up with this:
1934 – The steam locomotive Flying Scotsman becomes the first to officially exceed 100mph.
Not enitirely sure what you can make of that - so how about
Innovations
Anything you like - things they would have seen change over the years - how they would cope with modern innovations - whatever floats your boat.

"I wonder what that's like."
"I couldn't say, sir."
"There should be a club of sorts for chaps who go that fast. A 'Miles Fast Club' as it were.
"I believe there is something similar, sir, although it involves height and a rather different activity."
"Really?"
"Yes sir." Jeeves whispered the details. "Might you care to join?"
"You think we could? I mean - could you work out the ... whatnots."
"I know a private pilot."
"Jolly good. Carry on, Jeeves."

“Indeed, sir.”
“I’m not enjoying this soupy tone.”
“Mr. Glossop’s ‘Plumbo Jumbo’ system was ridiculously unpleasant.”
“You are correct as always. Do you suppose that Miss Bassett and Spode tied the knot anyway?”
“I received a note assuring me this was the case when our luggage arrived, sir.”
“You know I hate being called ‘sir’ in the bath, Reg.”
“As I hate being frightened out of my wits that you might be married, my darling love.”
“I am so very sorry, Reggie.”
“I forgive you, sweetheart.”

Date: 2012-12-08 11:44 pm (UTC)“Jeeves!”
“Yes, sir?”
“Alone in the flat, Jeeves? No aunts, cousins, or old chums lurking about in the crevices?”
“The flat is empty of all but we two, sir.”
“Right-o, then. Drop the feudal façade, my dear Reg, and have a look at what I’ve bought us!”
“Ah. Well. Bertram, we do have one of those already, as I’m sure you will recall.”
“Ha… hem… yes, and good use you made of it, too, old thing. Ahum… yes. But, but, Reg, this one’s even better!”
“How so?”
“It’s electric!”
“Ah.”
“No, Reg, look! It vibrates!”
“Indeed. To the bedroom, then?”
