    Firsthand experience that the NHS is this country's most valuable asset.Instead of getting Easter eggs I got multiple heart attacks, which came as a bit of a shock as up to now my health has been excellent. After a few additions to the plumbing of the ticker I'mnow firmly on the road to recovery. I cannot speak highly enough of the care I got in Southampton General Hospital given by people from all four corners of the globe, all diamonds in the crown that is the NHS

    Blue Peter is back in Steam and running beautifully. It deserves a Badge.

      In case it needs dismantling that is, of course, just a protective paint coat.

      It sounds absolutely amazing...never heard it before...and it went through Seaton Junction in 1966...but konked out halfway up Honiton Incline.

    As I am 80 this year I have finally decided to retire.  So with immediate effect Nucast at Forest Row has ceased trading.  All of the stock of the reissue kits I held is being passed to Brian at Branchlines who is not closing down.

    The future of the Nucast range has not been decided yet and is currently on hold. The moulds and casting machines are now in storage.  We are unable to provide any spares or special orders from the range, or produce more stock.

    Please contact Brian on 01373 822231 as he's currently experiencing email problems

    You can tell if the haircut you've just had was overdue when, even though it's milder today than it was yesterday, you find yourself having to wear a hat you didn't need the day before.

      You have Hair? Brilliant. I just need Polish. (Not Polish as in Polish, but Polish as in shiny afterwards).

    With huge respect, could the Status Updates be separated from the PM facility. It's getting silly.

    Thanks.

      It is also a What's on your mind feature in another choice that comes up!

      I know it's petty, but recently someone slagged off Andy and it was on there for all to see. Andy doesn't need any more crap to deal with when he is monitoring me 24/7.

      I suppose it means a change to the website but on Profiles the two need some sort of 'Warning Notice'.

      Like; this one's Private and this (other) one is PUBLIC for all to see.

    Sometimes it's best not to write about your issues in a public place.

    1. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      People don't seem to realise. It's been mentioned, mocked and reported loads of times but the system stays the same.

      One needs to remember how to PM someone, rather than what's on your mind' or Status Update comment after being spoken to by Andy Y! 

      There seem to be so many mistaken messages these days on the Status Update, rather than as a PM. Is it a covert Tinder set up?

    Just had some U Tube reviewer of new products groupy tell me that a USA 0.6.0. is a Pannier Tank as it looks like a BR WR 15XX. Grief!

    1. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      The Groupy was typical of the sort that follow U Tube Reviewers. I don't normally watch any of that cra#, but had the misfortune to see a well known UTube person reviewing a not very good sample of the 15XX. The review was unbelievably confusing, rather niaeve and cringingly verbose. First it was super and then it was poor and that took over 30 minutes.

      Absolute bollox really. Put loads off even buying one to try out!

      I'm afraid I also told the bloke that Railway Engines don't have Funnels!

      Whitby is a great place for F & C I am told. Combine with a visit to the NYMR 

      My besty is opposite the Donny Racecourse in the old Fire Station. Might even be called Whitby's? Does GF stuff properly too.
