I've had the same situation with Royal Mail, except that I got the undeliverable email at 5pm and at about 7.30pm I answered the door and there was the postman with the supposedly undeliverable parcel! Al

Youchoos have an installation guide (with pictures) for the Model Rail J70 that should answer your questions: https://www.youchoos.co.uk/Index-Resource.php?L1=Guides&Item=OOMRJ70-MS Al

According to the Rapido delivery schedule the Bedford OB is in production with delivery expected in Q3 2024. I presume the Crump coach is included in this. https://rapidotrains.co.uk/delivery-schedule/ Al

Am I right by assuming that if you don't want any lights on at all, you can just remove the blanking plate from under the roof? Al

I've found that when the site looks like your screenshot, click on the German flag and it will reload in German properly. Then scroll to the bottom and click on the British flag and it reloads in English.

Was he Bill or was he Ben? Flobbadob!

Not just the North East, in the early 1960s my uncle in Kingston Upon Thames kept pigeons. Nearly every time we visited we had a basket full to accompany us back to the South Coast. We would phone him after we released them to give him an idea of the time taken, but on one occasion we released them too late in day and they must have roosted somewhere overnight, and arrived back the next morning!

I did as you instructed and the postman has just delivered two cow-catchers without the coupling holes. All in less than 24 hrs after I contacted them. Great service again from Rapido! All I need now is some cows... Al

I had the same from Derails!

Dear Kernow, why did you have to mention that it operated on the Portsmouth to Cardiff, I've gone and accidentally bought one now! Al

Many moons ago I also worked for a small engineering company. The foreman would send new lads into town to an ironmongers that was about ten minutes walk away. The ironmongers would play along for a couple of days or so and then put the lad straight. One lad kept going for over two weeks and the foreman kept laughing at the lad's stupidity. A chance conversation with the secretary revealed that the lad lived just around the corner from the factory. The penny dropped and it was the lad who had the last laugh. He knew it was a wind up from the start and he was just going home for an hour each time. Needless to say, the foreman never did it again.

I have done the same with Lloyds Bank. Just take a picture with their banking app and thats it, cheque paid in. I kept the cheque until it was cleared then shredded it.

I put a new U2 battery in my torch. It works fine but I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

Shouting 'Anyone who wants a ride in the helicopter, put your hands up', probably wasn't the best idea I've had...

Working at the Jobcentre has to be the worst job, knowing that if you get fired, you still have to come in the next day.
