      I'd hate to try to cook sausages on a brakevan stove - they'd end up on the floor.

      I wasn't charged an extortion fee when I bought last year's ticket from the Ian Allan bookshop in Birmingham.

      I stuffed £5 change into my pocket but when I got home it wasn’t there. I went out to the car & saw it at the end of the drive. Lucky! If it had happened the next day, it would have blown miles away.

      This is why I refuse to deal with these companies.

       

      In particular, if I go to any model railway exhibitions, I buy my tickets direct or on the door.

       

      I wish ALL companies running these shows would take note.

      We don't run to leather furniture in Kernow Towers. We still relax on the hard, wooden, upright benches that we bought from Studiolith all those years ago, to go with our hair shirts.
