    On busy trains I take great pleasure in asking people to move their bags to make seats available for sitting.

      I went from "I doubt I'll use DCC sound, it's just a gimmick" to never running anything that doesn't have a sound decoder!

    finds the timing of the Turkish Tourist Board's advert campaign amusing, given what's going on over there....

      I remember when cattle were being burnt in Cornwall due to spread of foot and mouth in the early 2000s. Cornwall Tourist Board had just released their new campaign with tagline "Cornwall: You can eat the view".
