RMweb Gold Donw Posted March 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2020 It would be rather nice to see what we will missing. Two unmissable events around that time SWAG and then the ALSRM show in May both where I go as much to meet with friends as to see the layouts. Very noticeable too is the lack of steam engines running. Working in the garden I am used to hearing the trains on the WSR. Once I get the new plastering finished off and painted I can re-erect the layout and run the Railmotor now fitted with sound. One question about the video show. Do I need special insurance on the laptop if it is to feature one of Black Rats shirts? I shall also greatly miss the cakes judging by the lack of flour on the supermarket shelves I doubt whether I shall get any at home. Do keep well all of you look forward to meeting again in 2021. I do not know at this stage whether we will be holding Rail-Ex Taunton in October (its normal date) but if it goes ahead I would be pleased to see any of you there. I will most likely be taking money on one of the doors in the mornings. Do say hello. Don 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to being at Taunton Railex in October with Bleat Wharf , when I hope things will have eased sufficiently to allow a return to some sort of normality. I shall enjoy a catch up........hopefully arriving earlier on the Friday night than last year......... In the meantime, I am working on getting Sheep Dip into a presentable format for April 26th. As for the Rat's shirt.......that's in the laptop of the gods in terms of loudness and civility.... Rob. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleat Wharf sounds like one of those bits of platform one can find in the Forest of Dean where stuff from the tramways would be loaded onto the Railway proper. These have largely disappeared under brambles and braken but odd bits find favour with the sheep. I look forward to seeing your vision. Don 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 For those missing pasties. Gregg Wallace is in Cornwall at an enormous bakery where they produce 180,000 Cornish pasties a day. Historian Ruth Goodman is debunking some common Cornish pasty myths. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000h3mc/inside-the-factory-series-5-6-pasties Jason 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their standard pasties are indeed mushy. I would rather buy Tesco or Morrison "own brand". But strangely, Ginster's Vegan Pasties have lovely chunks of tasty "meat" in them. Very nice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No self-respecting Cornish-person would ever consume one of their products. I've told the story before about how, many years ago now, one of our signalmen working in Cornwall ran away to join Ginsters. He stayed working with them in the factory for only a few weeks, before he managed to escape, horrified by what he saw there. Unfortunately his job had already been re-advertised. I don't know what became of him then. He might have run away to Horrocksford. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold teaky Posted April 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2020 Perhaps he was caught by the Ginstapo and disappeared into a batch of pasty filling? Who knows what goes on out in the wild lands to the west? 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted April 10, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 10, 2020 On the antisocial media platform one of the groups I belong to had a newly-arrived member asking for the best pasty recipe the other day. I responded with "Shall we tell him about the carrots?" I then posted this picture describing the objects as "Pasty Carrots" and with the advice "Don't use the orange ones - they're English" 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
