  1. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68021178https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68021178 Prison for stealing a cat? About time too!
  2. I also think it is a reproduction, reason being I have had the same map hanging on my wall for forty years or so. I know that was a reproduction when I bought it, but can't remember where from now.
  3. Hello darkness my old friend - Simon and Garfunkel
  4. We are but little sailors weak - RN sailors of many vintages
  5. Tomorrow shall be my dancing day - trad (arranged Rutter)
  6. A few from the Fawley, Hythe and Southampton in 1967, after passenger services had ceased but local goods services were just clinging on: Hythe: Fawley goods yard
  7. Come into the garden, Maud - Alfred Lord Tennyson (& M Balfe)
  8. Can't buy me love - The Beatles (again)
  9. Sixteen going on Seventeen - Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein
  10. She moved through the fair - Irish trad
  11. Trip the light fantastic - Greta van Fleet
  12. Very sorry to hear that.
  13. A thought about the layout of the sidings. I remember some having the sidings at the edge of the yard, with much more space between the tracks so that the mobile crane and lorries could service either siding without having to move too far. Example here of Hythe (Hants) in 1967: The left hand track is only a few yards from the yard boundary fence and the right hand one near the base of the railway embankment on which the passenger station stood.
  14. He is an impressive cat. I assume the snow seen through the windows of him as a kitten is the same snow fall that Tilly was finding out what fun it is to play in the snow: She was still a kitten at the time (8 months) but a good deal bigger than a handful!
  15. Tilly is not happy with the latest storm. Being narrow gauged, and high windage with her long fur, she is afraid of getting blown over!
  16. Tilly approves. Dogs should be kept under the feline paw!
  17. Far from grumbling, the new home page seems to have cured a serious slow speed problem I was getting.
  18. But the Oxford Rail site says it is sold out - so if you want one immediately you will have to pay his inflated price!
  19. Rather summarizes the situation with my old cat Misty when I adopted him from the Blue Cross. I took him on because he looked so sad having been abandoned (but he didn't have fleas!).
