Toilet rolls in the lavatory compartments, anyone? Who will be the first?
CJI.
Only if fully working rolls of Izal!
I've still got half a roll for spacing gears!

This is great news. I hope the Police have the resources to follow this up.
Problem with car boot sales are that no record is usually kept of the sellers attending.

Apparently, North Korea now has a missile that can hit New York, which is a bit scary.
If it can make it there, it can make it anywhere.-

It's probably about -
250 pages of jokes
50 pages of funny replies to jokes
100 pages of unfunny replies to jokes
100 pages of political digression
100 pages of historical digression
100 pages of other general digression
50 pages of postings saying "I thought this was supposed to be the Jokes thread."
20 pages of repeated jokes
20 pages of posts saying "Didn't we see that joke on page ...?"
40 pages of posts that were put on the thread by mistake.
40 pages of apologies for posting on the wrong thread
50 pages of random pictures of trains
I wonder how long it will be before some rivet counter posts to say that lot doesn't add up to 900.
That's 920 then.
Sad, that I added them up!

I use clock oil, (Microtime) for most things and a thicker oil (Archer), for gears.
Eileens Emporium used to do a range of oils, but they have gone.

Dodgy buffers.
Clasp brakes on nearest wheel.

Out for lunch to wet my new grand-daughters head, let SiL get a round and should have known better. Asked for a Pink Gin and received a HUGE balloon containing enough ice for all of us and what might best be described as a fruit alco-pop. Rather disgusting but not really the time or place...
Stopped at Tesco on the way back, bought some own-brand gin, 35cl for £6.80. Currently soothing my outraged palate with g&t with proper bitters and slice of lemon over 2 ice cubes while cooking dinner.... not bad at the price
In my opinion. Gin of whatever flavour is discusting, much prefer a decent Ale or a strong Vodka with a bit of ice.

Being from the same era as you I can relate to all those examples you quoted and I also find as I get older that more and more things often trigger the memory of those childhood moments. Children today miss so much in their early years not having the freedom we had which is quite sad really. Living in the countryside it was a three mile bike ride to school from the age of 10. Now living in the quiet suburbs my neighbour takes her kids of 10 and 12 to school and home again by car, 951 yards away! Constantly looking at their mobile phones I doubt they would be able to find their way home again if they had to.🙄
Whilst I'm here, many thanks for your photos every day, they really are interesting and appreciated. Not an easy task to keep doing that.
Sundays. At around 10 yrs (1965), being taken to the BR club at Tyseley by my dad and uncle and let loose to explore the yard. I walked along the top of the boiler of a 9F and my older brother closed the door of the fire box of the same 9F when I climbed inside. Mum was not too impresed when we got back to Nan and Popops house in Acocks Green covered in black muck. Then stuffed Lambs Hearts for Sunday dinner, YUM!
(My Uncle had a friend who was a carpenter, doing the footplates of the cabs when needed).

And it isn't a 'plug socket' - in the same vein as it isn't a 'train station'!
It actually is....a socket.
As for the colours?
Well, earth is brown, so that should be the earth wire?
Flowers, whilst they are alive, are pretty colours, like green and yellow, so shouldn't that be the live wire?
But blue is fairly neutral, so that is ok as the neutral wire....
(Don't try this at home!).
If they do they deserve what the get.🤣

Unboxing videos are a thing all right.
This guy made an absolute mint with YouTube videos unboxing Lego when he was a bit younger.
Just shows how most Human Beings are stupid Baggers.

If you weather with Acrylic Paints, it can be almost removed if you are not happy with it. I find that they do not affect the finish on RTR models. Some will stick in grills and other recesses, but this is what is wanted, sometimes.

Not really a comment on the price, but the 1st rule of listing on ebay I've always followed is make sure you wash your feet first. (Last photo)
We need a YUK button!

Stuffed one here in Kelvingrove.
Mr Haggis perchance! ( An upright one, not Clockwise or anti-clockwise). Hair looks almost right.

The hinges are a brass etch. The main body is whitemetal.
The V hangaer is integral to the casting, but there is also an etched one on the other side, making it a double V hanger.
The headstock is 16ft.
It did have Vac pipes, but I have removed what was left of them as they were broken.
There were no buffers.
The rest of the underframe was not present when acquired, along with a few D&S GN wagons/Vans.
Thanks.
Andy.
