    It's all very well saying that you'll get an extra hour in bed when the clocks go back, I find that I just wake up an hour earlier for the next week or so...

      Ahh but - the ultimate luxury of waking up at one's usual time; glancing at the clock; and turning over for another hour's sleep!

    Big Mistake... Just bought and had fitted a new 6x4 garden shed to replace old one attacked by Rats from next  door's chicken run.

    40 years stock of bits that  "might come in useful" taken to the tip. Much anguish in the choice of what must go overseen by SWMBO.

      Send the bill for the new shed to the neighbours - or the chickens!

    The collected works of Charles Dickens can be a tough read...

     

    but they are excellent for weighing down track while the glue dries...

      I bought them for my Kindle for pence - but no used for weighting tracks.

       

      I've been working my way through them now for the best part of a year - nothing tough about them; a delight to read. Dickens' writing is the perfect time machine - a panoramic window to the past, with quite a few railway references from the

      'Railway Mania' years.

       

      When you've finished track laying, read the books!

    Decals.  Is it dee-cals  or  deck-als?

      The word comes from the French - décalcomanie.

       

      Therefore, the shortened version used nowadays should be pronounced 'daycal'.

    Trying to privately message a member - getting pop-up "Your inbox is full. You must delete some messages before you can send any more".

     

    I have emptied my In-box - still getting the message.

      Not sure what you mean - I'm not aware that I have any other folders; (though this may be due to my lack of familiarity with the new software).

       

      Regards,

      John.
