      No Ian, it's a chocolate latte.

      As far as chocolate is concerned, there is only Lindt 90% cocoa solids. That is all.

      Horse, Why do you shoot nuts? Nutcrackers split the shells perfectly and are much quieter I find.

    4. Tim Hall

      Tim Hall

      Trouble is, nutcrackers are very rare birds in the UK. Decent chance of seeing them in places like the Alps, though.

    A wasted hour at The British Museum looking for a perticular object. After a prolonged search on the computer and in the gallery by three members of staff we found that the object was out on loan.

    Giggleswick now has wifii. But you still have to walk to the top of the hill to get a decent mobile rsignal.

      It's about time that area gets WiFi.

      It's a pain when your using real time trains to get steam updates.

    Faster than Mallard on the ECML today. Touched 130 several times on a fantastic run from York to London. Those old 125s can still cut it.

    1. trisonic

      trisonic

      True but how long ago was the Mallard run?

      And what's next?

    2. trisonic

      trisonic

      You're absolutely right, Dave.

       

      125 in comfort and safe is good enough for me.
