Cue the jokes about <insert backward part of the country here>

"Local Time" is the Timezone term for the Timezone which applies to a particular area.

eg. If you are in London. Exeter or Glasgow on 5th Jun, your "Local Time" will be BST.  So will Portugal, but Germany will be one hour ahead and USA 5 - 7 hours behind.

Have fun with the theory test...

Mind the Audis, BMWs, cyclists with no lights etc

I had a look, there isn't any direct mention of AY, but it might be that one or more photos are directly attributable to his Y'ness?

It was one of Andy's photos CK; they credited him for a photo of New Bryford.

And Great Endon

The Bean Counters, who will choose the cheapest option . . .

I my office....me! Have a CD player and the choice changes every few days....very mood dependant!

Can I suggest Sweet Caroline admiles? At least it'll keep them singing while you sort their queries out...

Certainly was, it's amazing what one can see around Brinklow! Took lots of photos on my new camera and will be framing and selling the best ones to help fund a pilgrimage to Lourdes in the summer.

And then you had to get out and push....

Niokolo-Koba?

Made it then!!!

Don't overdo it!

Ha! 31 hours late arriving at the hotel. Will post some pictures of the area later.

Congrats. I too have a face for radio....

You mean we'll all have to give radio interviews before we can travel after next March?

I think I'd have driven to Skeggy, rather than flown.

*directional - damn these fat fingers

Still at Gatwick, no sign of the runway opening any time soon, whether or not we will fly today is still very unclear.

I wouldn't want to be publicly identified as the culprit(s) when they are finally identified and caught. I wonder if those delayed or with their flights cancelled and plans in ruins can sue the ar8e off those responsible?

Or as we used to sing, "Bum Bum Bum...."

Ahem!

The way it was handled wasn't very good, I was waiting on the concourse for nearly 30 minutes having been asked to get off an Arriva (sorry, Transport for Wales) Holyhead bound service as they didn't want passengers for beyond Wolverhampton to get left behind. It was clear from the way people were dressed who attended what NEC show!

Beats me why more people didn't have a bright idea and go southwards then change to a northbound train at Coventry. Little chance of having their ticket examined on any of the 4 car 350s I saw!

Or get one of those bargain daytripper tickets to keep all options open?

Its a slippery slope. It'll end up where the winner wins their continued life...

Yes, well done to the 2 who escaped, 2 very different characters. Now watching the USA version on catchup!

Noisy heffers!

The joys of the countryside, we get the smell of the fields not the noise but that doesn't wake us up...

Probably had their calves shipped off to market - they "call" them for about 48 hours - lucky you!

Indeed, very sad news.

Your call is important to us... bug not important enough for us to hire more staff to answer it...

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik?

Had one recently which had orchestral Led Zeppelin.... pity it was only about 3 minutes.

There are some things where we shouldn't need signs to tell people not to do it.

Did he miss the spittoon?

Spittoons only encourage the dirty habit.

Certainly was! Forgot to mention, I also bumped into Boycie (aka John Challis) of Only Fools and Horses fame.

Sounds fantastic! Which other steam (railway) locomotives are there?

Full size, there was a traction engine for rails called Blue Circle, and three miniature locos (probably 7 and 1/4 gauge). But it wasn't just road steam engines; they've also got tractors, steam cars, lorries, horse and ploughs and lots more. You won't be disappointed by what's on offer in the food hall!

Don't confuse it with Glastonbury. I have it on good authority that raw sewage has been spread on adjacent fields, be grateful it's not hot and sunny...

Went today. Good show, lots to see. But I've only missed one since 1992, and this was by far the worst for traffic, 2.25 hours for the last 5 miles.

Which is why it's handy if you're going with a relative who lives in the area and knows the back roads inside out...

Thanks gents!

Fingers crossed!

Good luck!

Sheffield Victoria, calling at Woodford Halse, Rugby...

Well it looked like a sleeper car, but could have been a departmental coach.

The Bluebell has (had?) Mk1 Sleeper Composite 2442 wh ijch was all over green. Maybe it's off for scrapping as I believe it's no longer required

At least we don't have to view it through the 3D specs....

Would be better with a Warship now they've gone all modern

Something like this

I wonder if Northern will do a end of 142's up Shap and call it "The 15p Special"

Black and white....colour wasn't common then...

was there last Sept. Snowdon top in cloud intermittently, but B-F warm and dry

"Rainy Night in Blaenau" doesn't have quite the same ring about it....

And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him
