  1. I remember reading a photo caption that said that the embankments & cuttings on the GCR London extension were of a shallower angle because of Board of Trade rules. How accurate this statement was I know not.
  2. The most polluting time of every cars existence is when it is made, so the longer it lasts the better. Another thing that gets my goat is so-called zero emissions, as a former boss of EMD put it "somewhere else emissions " is more accurate.
  3. Please Warren,keep posting. At a time like this ERs will always offer help to anyone who needs it ,it matters not whether you are in the next st or half a world away a virtual hug always helps. Ignore the nay sayer!
  4. Electric fence units kick out around 3000 volts
  5. I am reliably informed that electric fences are also very painful if pee-ed on, in fact I suspect that the hole village found out when he screamed!
  6. Night awl. ps Tony, very true
  7. Rmw behaving very oddly this morning, random ratings flagging as problem and one showing as rated but not showing on the list along side. Odd
  8. Working from home can be ok, if you get the ballance right. Another definition is living at work.
  9. It is ignoring requests to cancel the black box. Getting frustrating. I am reluctant to abandon rmw, it's the only social media that I interact with and I have come to regard many people on here as friends.
  10. It's like wading through sticky mud at the moment! If I don't rate a post the odds are It's because a large black box has appeared saying that there is a problem rating this post and won't go away.
  11. WM PTE planned to extend the Trent valley service through to Burton, whether or not this is still the case I know not. There have been several attempts to run a bus service totheArboretum, all have failed.
  12. Midland Red's Swadlincote garage was burglared, the miscreants left finger prints all over. On being told that management were going to inspect someone hastily went round cleaning every surface, before the police had the chance to examine the dabs.
  13. Someone else noticed our tame(?) Hippos obsession with panniers
  14. A to B Model Railways Matlock Bath on the main road Malcs Models on Bath Street in Ilkeston.
  15. My copy is with my dealer
  16. Another specialist charity bookshop is st Giles Hospice
