RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 12, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2016 Today I had to go shopping instead of being in the loft. Pah. However I now have some headgear named Buff. Funny name for a piece of cloth but apparently it will protect my dome from over exposure. I also had a shufty at three Class 66s at Potteric Carr (well, Decoy Sidings really); 745/8/57......very colourful but soulless beasts. JA has said she wants to see my Buff but I can't spare the time. Ar$e. Ducky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 12, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2016 I had forgotten that this morning a box of expanded rubber stuff arrived at Duck Towers. Ballast I said and was reprimanded by SWMBO who suggested that using strong language at breakfast may well scare the servants. Fortunately they are a tough bunch so no harm came of them. With luck, tomorrow I shall be able to ascend into the loft and see if the rubber stuff works. If it does I shall buy some suitably shaped versions that will fit snugly around some essential parts. For now I shall investigate the number of Honiton Tunnel. Ducky. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 12, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Close, I think it is 437 but can't quite remember. However CK, the above Valerie Singleton once stalled on Honiton Bank (1966 I believe) due to inferior stoking methods and the fact that she was knackered despite looking quite smart on the outside. By any chance CK were you standing next to the tracks at Decoy today? If it was you you did look cold, however your overalls were very smart and clean. Not far from your possible position, several people were scoffing sausage and mash. Not me I hasten to add....... Ducky.

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Mrs Duck asked me to ask you to keep your expanded rubber stuff to yourself. She said it had been causing comment at the local Labour Exchange, and she was getting tired of having to hire yet another chamber maid after the last one made the mistake of looking in the loft Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not far from your possible position, several people were scoffing sausage and mash I think this must have been one of the extensive network of CK look-a-likes dotted around the country to confuse. Just to make it clear, I would not wear overalls next to the track, there are standards to maintain here. I had a 'full English' in the Totnes signal box cafe this morning, and was glad of the baked beans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope they (the beans, not the PPE) were Heinz as they are GF. Other brands can be inferior and may well contain G. Don't forget to try the Axminster St's cafe and the lovely one on Yatton. Otherwise, sad news I'm afraid. My recently installed 80W, 600mm tube heater has failed and I can't get a Doc' appointment for weeks.

Quite right, there are more appropriate ways to attract the attention of idle plate layers and assorted footplate riff raff... You were seen in Totnes, and it did look like you enjoyed the beans....

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 13, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2016 Some time back I might have been mumbling about My Maternal Grandad and his Rugby Caps. If not then hard cheese. Thanks to the fact we still have a Library here in 36E and Plumstead Library's archive (yes really) I have a copy of 'The First Hundred Years' ( 1883 - 1983 The Story of Rugby Football in Cornwall by Tom Salmon). This is amazing that such a book exists but sadly there is little evidence that Grandad played for Cornwall in the 20s (he was born in 1890). However there is a Camborne player named Harvey that represented Cornwall 8 times in 1919 but that person does not have the correct initials. I'm on the case. Good night. Ducky.

RMweb Premium Northroader Posted January 13, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2016 On the joys of getting off a train and scoffing beans, sausages, and such, please don't overlook the cafe at Redruth station. It ain't just the dining, it's lingering in the hope that a certain divinity may pass through, sit at the corner table, and sip tea whilst in transit between London and her hacienda on the Lizard. I'VE SAT AT THAT TABLE, IN HER CHAIR!! And there was dried mud in the corner where grandad Duck put his rugby boots on the way home from the match! The simple moments in your life when you're part of history. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
