  1. Not really . The worst airlines I've travelled on for this is KLM and BA , which I certainly didn't pay any money to check in bags. I know I'm a grumpy old git but I always check in my luggage bag and keep my hold-all with laptop with me. It really annoys me to see someone loaded with two bags, one the size of my own suitcase standing in the aisle holding everyone up trying to place their bags. But really the airlines should police cabin baggage size better. EasyJet have it about right but Ryanair also pretty good in this respect

     

     

    On short haul  KLM City Hopper you have to pay £25.00 to check a bag into the hold nowadays.

  2. Don't know. I'm only speculating, if Dunn has no cash or valid credit/debit card available when the "repo men" call, they will take assets to the value of the debt. IF I have that choice, I'll probably take kits as I suspect the moulds are just scrap iron.

     

     

    You won`t get the choice as stated above the seized goods will be put into auction and you will be paid from any proceeds. They might even struggle to get the amount you are owed. So any idea of becoming an instant kit producer can be forgotten.

    Secondhand items do not fetch much at auction 

  3. If Mayor Khan gets his way, you might find Penrith and Carlisle on a future TfL map....

     

    And if Bristol`s muppett mayor gets his way with an underground system he might want it linking with TFLs system

  4. Joan Hickson was the definitive Miss Marple, to the extent that it's difficult to remember her for the other productions she acted in. I can only remember her for one other rôle, as an elderly lady in John Cleese's Clockwise.

     

     

    Also as Thelma`s mother in the Likely Lads which also stared Bill Owen as the father of James Bolam`s character [ I can`t for the life of me remember his screen name]

  6. Thanks for that, I've now edited the post. I did pause for thought as to whether I should write it a £1.149/l or 114.9p/l. Answers on a postcard please.

    £1.149 I think would be ideal

     

    P.S ran out of postcards

  7. Interesting about fuel prices. I filled up at Moreasons in Kikstall this morning at £114.9. The weather hear is lovely. At one of the book delivery places I was invited to have a coffee and we sat out in the back garden. It was very pleasant.

     HOW MUCH    :O  :O  :O  One hundred and fourteen pounds and ninety pence seems a tad expensive to me

    However, unlike 40F who clearly owns a model shop (albeit they opt not to publicise which one as is their perogative), I do not work in this business so I may be missing a subtly I'm missing.

    Do I own a model shop. ? What a statement to make. Rubbish  I do know a few model shop owners and have helped a few so I have picked up a few things over the years. Or may be I am playing devils advocate and putting another argument forward.

  9. Only "common sense" if no-one ever moved away from the place they were born and only modelled what they can/could see in the locality. Whilst I'm sure there is some regional bias, shops will make material out of region sales. From a casual observation of location on Rmweb, its clear there are GWR modellers in the north east, the eastern region and various parts of the USA and Canada. It would be extremely surprising if fans of other regions solely inhabited those...

     

    Common sense is to partner with those who share a vision common to you. Clearly partnering with someone who has different aspirations to you would be foolish.

    Why ? I am only putting my point of view. The whole project would struggle to get off the ground. As I said before various have tried it before. Crowd funding is normally an idea by one person/company { DJM for example] that is funded by interested individuals/members of the public.. 

  10. Any consortium would be filled with like minded rather than disparate views, which is in fact plainer common sense...

     

    Obviously the GWR models I keep seeing in local model shops are never going to sell up here...

     

     

    Also it has been tried [ or attempted ] before and never got off the ground.
