In 1.3 million years time the DFS sale will be nearly finished! Al

Duty is only payable if the value of the package is over £15. If you keep your order well under £15 you should be ok, I've not yet had a package from China that had to duty to pay on it. Al

When there is a chance of rain they have a spare bike in the pits with wet weather tyres on. If it does rain they can pit and change bikes. It would take to long to change wheels, although they seem to manage quite well at the IOM TT. Al

Looks good to me! Al

I went to see the Bootleg Beatles around 1996, I remember thinking beforehand that they were just another 'cover' group who played Beatles songs and wouldn't really sound like them. How wrong I was, once they started playing they sounded just like them. The only way you could tell that it wasn't a real Beatles concert was the lack of screaming teenage girls! (and the fact that John Lennon was no longer with us) Al

The Humber Vogue was badged as the Singer Vogue in the UK. The Sunbeam Talbot next to it brings back childhood memories of falling asleep on the back seat of my father's one on seaside trips in the 1950s. I can still smell the leather... Al

At that price the seller could at least have offered free postage! Al

Is the sailors toast "Here's to wives and sweethearts. May they never meet!"? Al

Sometimes the cycle seems to be: 1. Open wheelie bin. 2. Take out item. 3. Put it on Ebay. Al

I found another seller listing the same Triang BoB (item no. 263013903719). This seller together with the two sellers you mention have some identical items for sale. Ebay don't make it easy to report these fake sellers, but even if they were taken down they would probably just create new accounts. Al

Rails have the Festival of Britain 'U' type pullman coaches slit from the Golden Arrow Last Steam Run set. https://railsofsheffield.com/set-of-3-festival-of-britain-u-type-pullman-car-coaches-r3400coaches-Hornby-JJJA33156.aspx?utm_source=Mailing+List&utm_campaign=0f39b2c572-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_04_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_74d01bc2ed-0f39b2c572-5471609 Al

I have a TCS EU621 decoder fitted to my E5004, the only lighting anomaly I had was that F1 worked the reverse direction cab light and F2 the forward one, easily sorted by reversing the decoder direction in CV29. Both headcode lights come on with F3, but I think that is how it's wired. Movement is very smooth although I've only tried it on the rolling road and a very short piece of track. Al

I'm not sure how he can class it as 'new'! Al

To be fair, he might have taken it out of the box, he just doesn't remember doing it! I think it's called 'selective amnesia'. Al

If they are renting out the buildings contact your Local Authority Housing Office who are responsible for making sure the property is to approved standards. They tend to take a dim view of people living in sheds. Al

Looking at the pictures it's just as I feared - it looks too good to just have one! Al

I think they are Crochet Hooks. Al

My dustmen are hopeless, they even admit it. On the side of their dustcart it's written in large letters 'Rubbish Collection'. Al

When I fitted a Bachmann/Zimo decoder to my 1450 it was loose in the dcc socket and it ran the same as your video. I wriggled the decoder until it worked and then wrapped it with insulating tape to hold it in place. I had the same problem with my J94 that came in the same delivery. Al

On Hayling Island, still guarding the long demolished bridge. The line was closed in 1963. Next - how about a London station.

What is this about: "DUE TO UNFAIRNESS FOR ME AND OTHER EBAY MEMBERS ANY MORE THAN 2 CONSECUTIVE BIDS BY ANY BIDDER WITHIN 24 HOURS OF A LISTING ENDING WILL RESULT IN YOUR BIDS BEING CANCELLED AND BLOCKED MAKE YOUR BID COUNT" How is deciding to bid more unfair in an auction? Al
