Yesterday's Guardian cartoon:

Something notable about the cartoon is that the cartoonist is clearly familiar enough with Hornby to know what their product codes look like. Including codes beginning TT. So maybe there's a closet modeller on the Graun's staff.

A committee will now be convened to determine the correct editorial position on the matter of railway modelling; with particular reference to the illiberal insistence on arbitrarily derived standards which quash diversity and freedom of expression, which all proper thought rejects unequivocally.

Well...there has been at least one Guardian editorial in praise of railway modelling and which defended our hobby from the yahoo cry of 'boring !', which they defined as encompassing "seemingly everything in life except football and shouting"
