Porcy Mane Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 and there was me mistakenly thinking they were publishing letters that should have be appearing in Hedge Growers Monthly. I was thinking of writing an electronic letter of complaint but the E mail address remains privet and I wouldn't want to be seen to be Honeysuckling up to anybody.

Porcy Mane Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Would they ever. Up to now it would appear they never have. Maybe like Mrs. Trellis, Mr Trellis is just a figment of someones imaganarium at MRJ towers and his continued appearance is just a ploy to keep us buying due to our curiosity to read the next installment. Just like the Archers. P P.s. Does anyone know if WH Smith at Ealing has re-stocked with Chocolate Raisins yet. I'm sick of Poppets and fruit flavoured Polos..

I'm sick of Poppets and fruit flavoured Polos.. Does anyone, anywhere know what WH Smith at Ealing stocks, or might stock, or used to stock, or could stock or won't stock, or can't stock, or thinks about stocking, or dreams about stocking, or considers stocking but dismisses it on the grounds that Horsetan won't buy it? It's a conundrum, that's for sure. I think the whole place has gone Milford Haven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Well chaps, I'd say we were ALL well off topic. If only I could discern what the topic really consisted of! Apart from there being a hazelnut in every bite..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol Wilkinson Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Well chaps, I'd say we were ALL well off topic. If only I could discern what the topic really consisted of! Apart from there being a hazelnut in every bite..... The topic is MRJ 249 which, allowing for the first issue being "0", makes it the 250th if my maths correct are correct, That seems to have gone rather unnoticed (the 250th issue, not my expertise or otherwise at counting). Given the usual subject of MRJ topics, does anyone know if that first edition came out on time and which branches of Smiffs had it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Zero Gravitas Posted September 10, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2016 Isn't that what the Pope drinks by the pint, so they have too carry him round in a chair. I vaguely remember Billy Connolly may have mentioned it years ago. Indeed. It was a tale about two Scotsmen who visit the Vatican and go into a bar for refreshment. Wanting to savour the Vatican experience, they ask the barman what the Pope drinks. "Crime de menthe" replies the barman. "Right, we'll have two pints of that then" say the Scotsmen.

Horsetan Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 That's a heck of way to go from Atherton just to buy a magazine - even if it is MRJ The thing is.... they probably had it on sale in Waterford before a good few British outlets received their supplies.

RMweb Premium Izzy Posted September 16, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2016 Found this a very good issue, lots of interest and information. Not being able to get to any exhibitions at present these days let alone finescale orientated ones I was most pleased to be able to read about Ballyconnell Road, which I was fortunate to see at a Mid-Essex/Shenfield show some years ago. An outstanding layout in all aspects, but particularly with respect to the modest overall size and the encouragement this gives to anybody with less than bucketloads of space. Mind you 2mm can also be less space hungry as the weekend challenge proves. Thank you Jerry, and indeed all concerned. Izzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrhoppity Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I have a suggestion to take our minds off our letterboxes. How about a competition for layouts built between the published publication date of MRJ and the actual first arrival on the newsagents' shelves? Good idea. Trouble is, how many people would want to build an O gauge model of Clapham Junction? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
