Any gold top ?

( And no sheep's or goat's  milk please. That's just wrong on so many different levels )

I asked for a black coffee in there one Saturday lunchtime (no way was I asking for plant milk in it).  We quickly made our way into the beer garden to hide... but we lived 🤫

Important update. Ive been down to Dorset this morning to pick up several cakes from my personal pâtissier (my sister)! Ive also recieved promises of cakes from several other kind contributors - mainly scratchbuilt but with a few high class rtr examples thrown into the mix.


I’ll be manning the demo table in the cafe area showing the various techniques for disassembling the aforementioned goods. 
If you’d like to bring along your own cakes for me to polish off feel free.

I think what some of us might need is Scrotes milk(!)

 

I remain a bit baffled over the oat conundrum…

 

It's ok, I can pop over the co-op and grab some, the former Mrs Dubya will need her latte 👍

Even more exciting news, the show is now properly insured. 
 

Not sure that covers injuries suffered in the Larkhall Inn though…..

One can also get tiger milk but it's rather expensive (and with good reason!).

Think it actually comes from the tiger nut. 🤷

Doh, it says so on the carton

Whilst on a Lanky & Yorkie walkabout around Bill Brandt land the other week I came across this/these. Spent 5 minutes trying to get milk out of them, alas to no avail.

 

Nice weathering though.

It was expected that the milk may have had a metallic tinge to it.

So it looks like my milking attempt may have had some merit.

Ideal for students stuck in Coventry with no sense of real purpose and a bit of SMP track. Ooops, too much information....

That doesn't look anything like the layout produced by a student that I knew in Coventry...

Ah, that was Mk II in the following year, when that spirited and ingenious Harold Morris impersonator abducted the 9F that Kernow Enterprises refused to release to keep the "Pines" running (round in circles).

 

I think some of us have never quite forgiven others of us for those events of forty years ago.

 

Ooops, too much information (again)

 

Anyway, I've got great plans for something much bigger and better for Harold's current "requirements"

 

(Apart from the medication, obviously)

Does one need old-fashioned cash to procure one of these tickets or will new-fangled card payment be accepted?

 

Asking for a friend...

 

It's Larkhall mate.  I suspect all exhibits will be battery powered and Kim's kitchen by fire 😉.  But it's possible I suppose (as long as the locals don't find out).

Payment at the door will be welcomed in cash, there is no card payment facility.

 

But looking on the positive side it is in the national currency, you will not be needing Larkhall Groats.

Nice to see  goats still being accepted as legal tender in some parts of the country. Would ferrets be acceptable on the door. I still have a few I need to get rid of.

Have they been trouser trained?

Any spare goats, I'd take them down the Larkhall Inn and see how you get on.

 

Avoid Ma Cuisine though, they put all sorts of strange things in their rissoles....

 

Will Larkhall ever forgive me....

Mate, without you the LTB (Larkhall Tourism Board) would have nothing to do.

Larkrail is like stadium rock comes to town once a year, Spinal Tap heading the bill!

In years to come, Larkrail will be spoken of with awe.  “Granddad, what did you do when Larkrail was on?”
