      Obviously the Suffolk location, we lost our railway in Brandon Co. Durham in 1964 or thereabouts.

  2. I should be checking out of Hotel Treliske next Tuesday after 6 weeks of care by the NHS. Can't wait to get back to my home bed, but will miss the wonderful staff for whom I will be eternally grateful

  3. Done my lower back in.

      My sympathy,

      I've suffered this on four notable occasions in the past 10 years, once through sneezing, another time walking between rooms, once sitting eating breakfast, but the most serious, helping an elderly gent rise from his chair. I was paralysed for 3 hours until a doc administered a relieving injection.

      My hints, go straight for physio as soon as possible, do without prescribed 'painkillers' if you can - side effects can be worse than the pain. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

  10. Received Christmas box bought from Hattons by my Wife today. Just puzzled as to why Royal Mail sent a parcel addressed to Durham from (Widnes) through Warrington via Dorset ??

    1. Brit70053

      Brit70053

      A possibility I suppose Tony, I really got concerned when RM tracking stated "Received at Dorset Mail Centre" twice, with 8 hours plus between updates.

  18. Why do diesel/electric fans insist on calling Steam Locomotive kettles? I that get they boil water but really? Personally find it highly irritating

    1. Brit70053

      Brit70053

      Surely a result of Watt's legendary observation of a boiling kettle, said to have inspired the technology. So acknowledgement of history.
