Looking at Bradford Exchange on Trustpilot, it’s amusing to note that 56% of the reviews are 1 star. Their five star ones are only 36%.
 

Makes you wonder how they keep going.

None. Have you seen the magazines that come with the quality newspapers?

The watch was advertised in the Daily Mail magazine, so I would dispute your description of “quality newspapers” in this instance.

Had any RMWebber ever met anyone who had actually laid out real money on any of this junk fine selection of treasurable products?

steve

Here it comes again, another cynical attempt to screw money out of gullible punters. 

Or is it just a wind up…😆

I asked the original question merely out of curiosity, as I wasn’t sure. Just that. No criticism of BBC journalists or researchers was intended or implied.

It doesn’t look like it to me.

An excellent choice and a great price.

Rapido won’t be able to manufacture them fast enough!

Thanks to @Willl for the tip!

Windows sorted and just waiting for the bod to finish being painted before he goes in and lid is put back on.

Goodness me chaps, I do wonder what on earth Mr Ramsay's response might be?

I could include a few guesses, but I'd prefer not to get banned by RMWeb mods.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer failed footballer bloke…

Another woman with a powerful voice is Bonnie Tyler, and this is probably my favourite Bonnie Tyler song.  I also love the rather OTT video which had, for me at least, some very funny moments.

 

 

I can recommend this album by The Welsh Warbler. The duets with Rod Stewart and Francis Rossi being particular highlights.

For the UK version, substitute “Oxbridge” for “Harvard”…

I reckon it looks the part. Glad I hung on for this livery.

At last!

And yes, it is in the box.

Some decent wagons, such as scaled down versions of the 4mm scale types, plus ditto of the locos, would help.

Not everyone models express passenger trains.

This chap and his missus (just visible over the fence) spent most of this morning in our back garden for some unknown reason. The nearest water, now the floods have gone down is at least half a mile away.
