cary hill Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 No mention of the free bar I've put on in The Packhorse Inn.... Don't worry The South Hams Town Criers Association are working flat out to spread the word despite the very short notice: They'll all need a drink or two after all that "shouting"........it's going to be expensive........have you considered just having a "Happy Hour" between 5 and 6 pm today to protect the ANTB modelling budget?

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2017 Sorry to notethere is no sausage-eating competition, nor any mention of rabbi-rolling or au-pair greasing. Shame. We ran a free bar for our wedding - 50 guests. Yes there was plenty of wine on every table, but the bar bill was surprisingly modest. (Despite the best efforts of the bride's son, who was knocking back spirits until they refused to serve him!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2017 Page 1000 didn't last long. Beaten into 4th place on ANTB by the duck and the sausage meister!

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted June 23, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2017 Meanwhile in the real world it seems that the South Brent Carnival Committee are acknowledging ANTB's tremendous achievement by altering their programme at short notice (see Saturday 24th June): carnival.jpg And here's the band getting in some practice: sbcarnival1_2606165046.jpg They'll be dancing in the streets of South Brent tonight as a certain Scottish Rugby commentator used to say.....and probably all weekend.as well. . I hope the locals keep more sober than the Dartmothians were at their regatta last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 None of the above! Although the Star is the closest IMO. Considering all GW locos should be the same green, surely there should be some standard to paint by, but this is difficult as it depends what's available at where and when it was produced. Obviously not from the same paint pot! Brian. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Oi ! Do you mind that's Glenn's weathering. It's not Glenn's fault, he's not got much to work with after the Chinese League for the Suppression of Authentic GWR Loco Green Livery have done their worst in the paint shop. The idiot at Hornby who keeps signing off the various GWR livery abominations is also to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted June 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2017 Is there actually any green paint on them when they leave the factory? Or are they moulded in that colour? Doesn't excuse it but might explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2017 Nope, your faithful followers need to know. I don't think that someone currently located in the Naughty Corner has the right to make that kind of demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted June 24, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm more concerned with the advert at the bottom of the page for the new Hatton's Warwell that Andy has kindly put there for me/us.
