  5. I have just read about the passing of one Great Modeller, Allan Downes. RIP Allan and thank you. My heartfelt condolences to your family.

  6. Saw vehicle with cameras on its roof and "Apple Maps" on the side / rear, apparently filming in the villages in South Derbyshire about noon today.

  7. Went out for a leisurely bike ride, until a bin lorry overtook me and carried far too much speed towards a sharp bend. It rolled. Everyone’s ok thankfully...stay safe on your push irons people.

      Been there many a time! Last train from Wakedfield was literally a battle ground many nights.
