You see this is why we love you and just before anybody misconstrues that comment it is meant in a purely altruistic sense and if questioned I will deny all knowledge of that statement and will in fact squeal to rozzers revealing everything.

That's all very good and proper but I still want to know why he mentioned about the rain. Is a deluge expected at LM? Will there be floods and devastation? Can we expect to see the RNLI next time we tune in to the next thrilling episode of Little Muddle - the land that time forgot. 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted February 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2021 Morning all; greetings from Spain. In visiting LM today, I am not sure whether I am required to comment on the Pickfords Trike; the current status of the committee; the Dukedom arriving, or the weather (Raining, or whether its now stopped). All I can say with any certainty, is that in our bit of Spain we have a sea mist.... Other than that, its business as usual :-) 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one thing you can be sure of here, it's thread drift, criticism, irrelevance and ramblings. Oh! That's not just one thing. Sorry. The ramblings are probably the worst part. I mean, you post an item about something you've spent hours of work on, painstakingly documenting every single task, photographing from every conceivable angle and agonising over the best way to report your failings without seeming to be inept, and then nobody comments on your post because one of your avid followers has started another conversation about their own favourite model and all their followers have contributed to that. On YOUR thread! I hope that you are not of the opinion that my contribution is in any way critical. I don't want to be pedantic, but I'm going to be. There is a shop sign in one of your posts that is depicted as hanging from something that is quite clearly insufficiently robust for its intended purpose. I have photographs of shop signs, taken over the years, that quite clearly demonstrate the need for adequate support for such protruberances. I think that you should pay more attention to the details you incorporate in your modelling. If you criticise my contribution to your modelling efforts it just goes to show that you really are in a Little bit of a Muddle. If you've read as far as this sentence and are not smiling, then you might have been guilty of gullibility. Sorry, Kevin, but it's raining outside and I've got nothing better to do. 2 1 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 That's going to be nice and fuel efficient for an impecunious shop keeper. Unless he's climbing over the fence to the locomotive shed at night. Maybe that's what the shed staff are looking at?
