I seem to recall the Highway Code saying something like "Do not walk near the kerb with your back to approaching traffic". That would mean walking to the left side of pavement.

It was in a post by another which you had quoted and I did not notice that I was quoting you rather than the original. Sorted now. Apologies

Not the way my system works - at 00.30 GMT (approx) the WHOLE house switches over to the lower tariff until 07.30 GMT. This is principally for the storage heating of course but any other appliances run during those houre benefit from the lower tariff which is less than a third the cost of the daytime rate.

Stealth cat?

Partly. Every kitten knows that teeth are for biting humans.

One assumption is that stock arrives at warehouse in container direct from ship and is despatched to retailers / customers direct from there. Hornby staff would never see the vast majority of stock, let alone quality check it. Warehouse staff would not do QC.

Warm Notice - better than the cold shoulder! Does it mean that you can take drugs OR go wh*ring but not both?

Long standing tried and tested arrangements created with an eye to expediency will work well. On the other hand new concepts with added officious indifference and downright bloody-mindedness.......................

whereas in UK it should be 22nd July (approximately)

RMWeb are not making an E1, nor any other models. Rapido is the manufacturer. Suggest address your question to them - they don't bite!

Did you mean Silver Fox Models? Have several of their OO versions, and v. nice they are too. Surely upscaling to O is not beyond capability

So if you take that literally, alcohol purchased in Smiffs cannot be consumed anywhere.

Just had a squint at the Hattons website & there seem to be individual GWR carriages available to order. Says delivery from September 2022 (tomorrow!) but it may be a long September!

Shows on RTT as 5Z72 1641 Plymouth Friary S.S. to Plymouth. Not normal to show ECS arrivals but it is the West Country!

Such persons seem to have scant regard for anything except their own personal glee and euphoria.

There are two hour gaps in the Fastcat service so no need to go up the pier.

"Did you bring a fish?"

Just a guess - to highlight different types of traffic e.g. perishables/fragile/dangerous etc

I can assure you it is not new.

Have spent many hours (in total) waitingfor trains at a small country (unstaffed) station with a AHB level crossing immediately at one end of the platforms. The signaller in the panel has a switch to set the crossing for either an express train or a stopping train. On the line where the crossing is after the station, when set for a stopping train nothing happens until the train activates a treadle just before the platform. The sequence then starts with the train stopping in the platform and waiting for the signal to change from red to green. When the crossing is set for an express train the signal turns immediately to green (provided line is clear!) but the crossing does not activate until the train passes a treadle further out (probably 1200 yards or more). If the crossing is left on the fast setting for a stopping train the barriers are down for much longer - 2 to 3 minutes or more compared to about 30-40 seconds for an express

These look very much like Salisbury Tunnel Junction and Grateley station.

Bachmann website states all EFE Rail products arrived and there's been no announcements for ages so has EFE Rail gone off the boil? Still more than a dozen IOW version LSWR 02 which could be done .............HINT HINT

Nice mural on the tender there!

Rail strike on the Saturday. Not many people arriving by train.
