      Well, there is supposed to be Masonic Lodge called "P2", so I suppose that would be a start....

      If the shop assistants in Greggs couldn't pick up the 'sausage' rolls 'because they didn't have the right tongs', then they could have asked me and I'd have picked them up for the punters, in exchange for a nice pasty. And if they didn't have a nice pasty, as Mr Stationmaster clearly implies, then they can give me a gift voucher for Philps in Camborne instead.

      I will as soon as I visit Peterborough, they aren't stocking them in Wisbech nor March.

  6. Is there anything nicer than a Hall on a freight turn.

      Oh, and Will - the Good Lord can forgive you your blasphemy, but you will have to dress up in a Brunswick Green cape and run 10 times around the local maypole, chanting 'All Hail George Jackson Churchward!'.... ;-)

      I wouldn't mind seeing the return of the odd helicopter shot now and then; there's something about seeing a larger area of a model in context that I find very appealling.

      Tell her there's only one acceptable freezer in the railway room - and that's a CJ-type Freezer. I didn't get where I am today by not knowing what should go in a railway room!

      You're reducing your carbon footprint, saving on your electric bill, switching to healthier fresh food... You should be getting brownie points !

  10. Are iconic and legend the two most overused words in the English dictionary ?

      sem34090

      All of the above. There are too many things that are allegedly 'Iconic' or 'Legendary' and certainly too many people. Mind you, I'm sometimes guilty of referring to London Transport 1938 tube stock as 'Iconic'.
