      Just ask your local friendly signalman

    4. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      The local friendly signalman probably controls Weymouth from miles away....and has probably forgotten the procedure for clearing the home signal for Weymouth Quay.

  18. Every time I log into rmweb I keep thinking the red signal above the NSE unit in the banner picture is a private message notification!

      NGT6 1315

      It could also mean you'll face disciplinary action for SPADing if you click on it!

      My PM notification is on the Right hand side of the screen. Or do I need my eyes tested?

    3. big jim

      big jim

      but as a quick glance when you first open the page its a red on the same eyeline level as the notification

      Looks like Hugh Dennis has adopted the Al Murray role from S3, with off the wall solutions. Although the 'x' signature on the carrot for Malcolm 'X' was pure Paul Chowdhry
