No, the software hasn't been hacked. That's a daft thing to say. Google Ads are served based on browsing history, if enabled, or wider blanket ads if you haven't. I haven't seen anything which causes any concerns in that respect. 1. Yes, that's what the topic is about. 2. It depends on your settings too.

What is your data source for this?

I doubt it is anything to do with the Stamford issue (even if the observation has any substance), it is more the reality of the costs of a venue for a long weekend plus additional nights' accommodation for a 33% increase in attendance. There is also the factor of new shows starting off who initially keep to a one-day format.

They've got the shade of brown wrong; AGAIN!

Not the last time I looked but their tariff agreement is with the EU and we won't have an alternative in place.

I blame those espousing returning model production back to the UK.

Ask yourself how railways came into being, it certainly wasn't government benevolence. Did the railways become 'better' under nationalisation? Not for an appreciable period of time and significant leaps only came in the overhead electrification and 125 eras. The 125 era barely benefited the WCML and again it was private investment which improved capacity and times. Unfortunately for HS2 the mass media leant upon journey times and property values rather than the number of people who could be moved. People 'got' motorways as it allowed more people to move fast more quickly or for greater distances in the same period (as long as it din't go through their back garden) - that was state backed so why shouldn't the state assist the development of a 21st century people movement solution. The state isn't dynamic enough for rapidly changing times, rather than allow people to use (with sensible restriction) and provide safer facilities for electric scooter users they're being beaten out of use, an ideal city personal transport solution. The post manages to combine anti-capitalism with xenophobia and a demand that your thoughts should be heard.

If you head to the advert topic in the Gold lounge I have posted a workaround for Goldies.

New crowdfunded project from Lococraft - LMS diesels 10000/10001
AY Mod replied to dpgibbons's topic in 7mm+ modelling
It's a shame the project originator couldn't be bothered to come back and communicate in the way that you have taken the time to do. -
Scandalous; other people paying for you to have free access to a website.

A place to drop oddities in seen around the country. Yesterday I drove past an old canalside cinema in Measham. Leics - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.705212,-1.5081827,3a,60y,343.37h,84.38t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHT1fcJU9ZEuONkddI7CgSw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Apparently it seated 350 people, a bit of a crush I'd say!

I have just spoken to Magnet Insurance's managing director, Tony Bound, to discuss the above; not that it's necessarily anything to do with Magnet but his responses are reassuring. Providing the organiser states that the set-up date is the starting point of the cover and that the breakdown date is the end point of the cover (that could be a Thursday to Monday in the case of bigger shows) then there should be no issue. Premiums have, at this time, remained unaffected by the events at Stamford so there should be no reason that anyone using Magnet Insurance should be unduly concerned or be disadvantaged by those events. The only stipulation is that the premises should be secured overnight and there is no stipulation within the policy that there should be alarmed or have on-site security. It's also re-assuring to know that the claim was promptly investigated and paid out for in the Stamford case. Maybe it's worth asking the event organiser which insurer they are using and what the start/end dates and times of the policy are?

I always relish the chance to have a completely pointless conversation with an incredibly intelligent person. I think I may be in the right place for such.

Flangeway Snowploughs - 2019 plans
AY Mod replied to Richard Barnett's topic in Flangeway / Footplate
The 'independant' typo has been noted and awaiting revision. -
Flangeway OO Salmon Bogie Bolster Wagons - New CAD images
AY Mod replied to a topic in Flangeway / Footplate
Salmon season is here! Footplate of Kidderminster are pleased to show off their latest Flangeway wagon, the Salmon. After many years of development and research, the Engineering Prototype of the Salmon has landed. First impressions are extremely favourable, however as this is the first EP, the model is now being reviewed to ensure that any inaccuracies are corrected and that the first release can accurately depict 1980’s air braked vehicles, as well as ensuring that other variations can be accurately portrayed without any major alterations, including versions with the rail cranes and more modern ASF bogies. The first releases will depict 1980’s variants in engineers yellow and grey - release dates and prices will follow in due course. In addition to the Salmon arriving, the latest release of the Snowplough is expected soon. Currently, the second batch of livery samples are being reviewed and should be signed off soon, paving the way for production. It is hoped the Snowplough’s will arrive in time for winter snow duties… Although the Salmon has yet to be released for pre-order, Footplate are still taking pre-orders for the Snowplough via the website; www.footplate.co.uk. Updates on the Salmon will follow once final prices have been confirmed and will then be available for pre-order from the Footplate website.- 45 replies

Best height for an exhibition layout
AY Mod replied to toolongtoremember's topic in Layout & Track Design
He doesn't have to bow to anything not covered by legislation. That attitude will make it less likely that someone will try to be more accommodating. Leave it alone now please. -
Methinks you're not the ideal candidate Robin.

Best height for an exhibition layout
AY Mod replied to toolongtoremember's topic in Layout & Track Design
Before castigating anyone do bear in mind layout builders are not paid entertainers and they don't have to show their work off. Do cinema screenings have subtitles for those with hearing difficulties? Do retailers have POS material with braille translations? Rarely I would say so - a measure of reasonabless should be applied to this issue within our hobby from all sides. -
33 + 4TC Waterloo to Imber Village
AY Mod replied to PaulRhB's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
I'm pleased the post clarified that; I thought they'd have to take a good run-up to get up there. -
If Dave Jones had given the liquidators an accurate list of creditors you would have been contacted. He doesn't seem to have done so.

In Mobile view the size and form of the ads is intrusive and obstructive; it's a subject of discussion internally! It is all part of the platform testing so I hope common sense can prevail.

Indeed, the topic is counter-productive. The issue should be progressed with retailer rather than abstractly here. Closed.
