    Never mind the bureaucratic mentality, the only constant in my universe is that nearly full Railmatch spray cans will always fail at the most inconvenient moment!

      I've had the same with Phoenix before. Pity the makers of Halfords sprays don't do a range of railway colours!

      They do some but they call them silly names and stick car brands in the name too - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/41328-colour-matches-for-halfords-rattle-cans/?p=443694

    A shortage of lettuce? This could be the tip of the iceberg......

      I though it was some kind of roadkill counter. I always wondered why it automatically reset to zero twice a day ;)

    After getting a call last night from Hillary's at 5pm to say "sorry, only 2/3rds of your order has turned up and if we can't find it it'll be another 8 weeks before we fit your shutters", I'm almost certainly to be used as example of "Angry Customer" in future training sessions!

      Hillarys Blinds??

      Our 1st order was fine 7 years ago, but replacement order recently, obvious quality differences ( design clever??) some had to be replaced, still not too happy

      Liquid, or in the shape of a dried up doughnut in the bottom of the tin....?

       

    3. TomE

      TomE

      I do like using enamels, but it seems Humbrol are quite hit and miss these days in terms of consistency and coverage when brush painting. No dried up doughnuts Will, quite the opposite problem!

      I've found that the ones that were made in china are far better than the newer ones that seem to be made in England.

    Back home after a lovely week in North Norfolk. Virtually no connectivity or signal for the whole week and it's been bloody fantastic! Norfolk, the land technology forgot!

    70 years ago today, 156,000 men of the Allied Expeditionary Force arrived in Northern France by Air and the largest Seaborne invasion force in history. Over 4400 would never return from the beaches of Normandy. If you do nothing else today, stop for couple of minutes and think about what these men went through, and be thankful that they were prepared to do what they were ordered to do so that Europe could be freed from the oppression of Nazism.

      We owe them so much. My step father was one of the lucky ones, he returned after parachuting in on the of the 5/6.
