Moderators AY Mod Posted April 1, 2022 Moderators Share Posted April 1, 2022 Yep, there was an oversight after a late change around of the images and page layout. The previous captions got overlooked at the last minute. Credit for noticing that as some just look at the pictures. 😀 It's an immense layout and an amazing project by Andy; drawing up the trackplan from schematics and the images nearly drove me daft. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cornelius Posted April 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2022 At least they put in lorem ipsum and not some of the other more colourful placeholder caption fails I've seen in my time. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it - I never did Latin at school. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibelroad Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 No good asking me, I got 11% in the school end of year Latin exam and they transferred me to metalwork and tech drawing instead, which up to now had proved more useful when modelling. But looking at this maybe I should have stuck to the Latin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my A levels at a school on Hadrians wall. That was boring enough, but we were still living in Cheshire when I dropped Latin. 2 hours ago, Huw Griffiths said: Let's face it - I never did Latin at school. I did 😟.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2022 I did four years of Latin, but still failed the O Level twice. This seemed to disappoint the master, known as TED due to his initials, but actually forenamed Tom. He was a decent sort of chap. His only child, Katharine, a couple of years older than me, had got to Oxford - where she took her own life. How you cope with that I have no idea. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted April 2, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2022 We moved from Newcastle-under-Lyme to Belfast in 1978 where I joined my new school in the 3rd form. Latin was a compulsory subject up to 3rd form at that school but, as I had missed two years, I was excused Latin and sat out the lesson times at the back of the A-level economics classes doing my homework. I later took A-level economics as it sounded interesting all those years ago. Cheers Darius 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a little bit of latin, but not enough to become Prime Minister sadly. However I do remember that "bus" is all we have retained of "omnibus" which is latin and means "for everyone".

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted April 5, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2022 I had to give a talk at school once (in Latin) on the second Punic war. I can remember but a few words of Latin now let alone much about the wars! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
