    Woke up to non-forecast snow. This cheap gang the BBC now uses are remarkably useless!

      Tell me about it. I've downloaded the MetOffice app to my phone to get a second opinion.

      I considered transferring my allegiance to the Met Office but found their website far from concise

      In 1981, I went from thinking that The Fall were the worst band ever to thinking they were brilliant in about 2-3months of wall to wall airplay by John Peel.

      You had to make the effort but it re-paid in spades. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L60GziFpdA4

      I just flipped across the TV channels and caught the end of "Robin Hood".

      Now it's "Everything I do..."

      I just bought a new fuel tank for the Landie, does that count?

      Mondays a year away, I'll just be brave and watch my Xmas present (a 30xx ROD) clanking around the Roundie!

       

      A new fuel tank for a landie counts as a purchase of National Importance...

    A riddle for Christmas. I enter the Green Fortress, I open it with an iron key and let out the black cattle.

      A CLUE: It was a joke in a "3 Mustaphas 3" session for John Peel in 1984. Well past its sell by date.....

  12. Hroth

    I'll be glad when the "Pendon in 3D" banner goes, but the redshift component does indicate that GWR locos could step on it a bit!

      So fast that the driver's watch is running slower than the station clocks? No signs of contraction in the direction of travel, though ;-)

      Agree with OP. It is very unpleasant to see that at the top of the page.

    The box of points Just Turned Up. Odd, very odd. I could have sworn it wasn't there before! The chuck-key fairy must be branching out....

      I have a chuck key that I've lost the drill for

  14. Hroth

    I don't know HOW I did it, but I've lost a box containing all the pointwork for the station throat...

      One of those occasions when you quite definitely dont want to be reminded that the quickest way to find something is to replace it . . .

      I guess it is not just visitors. A lot of traders travel all over the country and so it may be difficult to get trade support for shows which clash with big events elsewhere.

    4. Hroth

      Hroth

      I'd put it down to trade support, getting visiting layouts and club members wanting to go. A pity, I always make an effort to support it!

    Heavy shelling tonight.... When I was young, if Bonfire Night fell on a Sunday we always had fireworks on the Saturday, never on the Sunday..... O tempora o mores!
