CUTLER2579 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 No woodenhead. They say it takes someone who's mad to recognise someone else who's mad. My credentials for knowing that I am right are indesputable. How many of you can honestly say that they have also spent time in "Broadmoor" See Clive you now know it makes sense. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUTLER2579 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Gilbert may be aware of a project in the mid 90's to have judge's attend prisons and such instituations for trials of prisoners rather than taking several defendents to a court. Due to the 1995 Disability Act there was a requirement to make these places compliant. Amongst other places I visited (to carry out surveys was the infamous Berkshire hospital (Broadmoor) I also visited Full Sutton Prison near York ( Category A) and asked why I had to remove my shoes. The officer pointed out that I may have stuff hidden in my shoes. Surely, said I " I would have it inside my socks". Please remove your socks,Sir came the reply. I had learnt to keep my trap shut. I felt safe in all the establishments with the exception of "Broadmoor", especially when the nurse left me locked in a hallway with a "Trustee" who was washing the floor. Edited January 12, 2021 by CUTLER2579 Spelling mistake. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were there on behalf of HM Home Office, not visiting some felon. The Governor should have ensured that such humiliating rituals were avoided. Perhaps he resented the external intervention. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

May we never see the like again. Indeed. Somme. I was much affected 50 years ago reading 'First Day on the Somme' which detailed the preparations for and failure of the walk to Berlin by Kitchener's Army. Like all of my age with parents from the WW2 era we grew up with a consciousness of world war. And knowledge of other battles like Verdun, Ypres, and the rest. I've never been able to really like 'Earl Haig' on the Hornby Britannia as a result. But no doubt he did his best. And I bought one anyway. But that is off thread by now.

RMweb Premium great northern Posted January 13, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2021 Who could resist a loco called Luckie Mucklebackit? 4 people couldn't, and it won, beating Somme with 3. There are some comparably wonderful names in classes D29 and D30, so we'll go for those today. If you aren't familiar with the locos, just get out your old Ian Allans and remind yourself. And if you don't have any, why not? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2750Papyrus Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 No problem with being whimsical today. Tempted by Wandering Willie (I have a dear old friend to whom this might apply) but I think Jingling Geordie has to take it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 3rd Rail Exile Posted January 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2021 Not being an aficionado of Sir Walter Scott, these names (and some of the previous ones discussed) don't mean anything to me, but "Madge Wildfire" sounds silly enough to deserve a vote...

FarrMan Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 What an interesting selection of names for this poll! Sadly they had all gone before I started serious spotting. My choice will have to be Wandering Willie - It is such an appropriate name for a loco. Lloyd 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted January 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Wandering Willie, because it reminds me of a former boss - that's wasn't his name but it described him quite well.
