I have also been given leave to attend this event, with limited funds though

I wish you all the very best (when is it?)

perhaps she should visit the Festive Gift Fair in Hall 12??

They're usually on the back shelves at newsagents.

Yodel, the most horrendous delivery company on the planet.

Am I the only one who thinks Yodel is an unfortunate choice of name to begin with?

Just remember the acronym "BLT" stands for a type of sandwich!

I agree West Countries in dark green look lovely

If it's got GWR or LNER on the side you'll be fine, LMS is too alright but remember "red locos at night postmans delight, red locos in the morning enginemans warning" it's really those southern engines you've got to be wary of though... What do you mean it's too late!

Paint is fast becoming a 'buy at shows only' option. Just need to remember when I am there

40 mile cycle ride to get my paint now.

Unfortunately the next show in my area they are at, Woking is through carelessness on my part the same day as my wedding! Ah well, will add lots of other bits to the order to make it worthwhile.

Eeek indeed! We hit a dustbin full of bricks and rubble some while ago. Dread to think what it sounds like when you're off the road, don't want to find out either.

Was that the incident at Ifield earlier today?

That's bad news....hope you all OK?

Ouch...

It works out at close to 20% overall, as PayPal takes its pound of flesh as well.

No wonder so many sellers are starting their items way over the odds or charging heavy P&P!

They charge on P&P as well now.

The postage will cost at least seven quid....

At a recent Partnership at Work meeting I was surprised to find out RMT membership was only around 17%. Mind you the bloke does take some pelters when he comes to visit on a recruitment drive, sorry members meeting!

Probably get lynched in some quarters but I quit them about 4 years ago. One or two still don't talk to me, unless they want a favour! Not affected me otherwise.

They know where you live, etc.

It's still there for me, try refreshing the page again.

Got it to work again now. Very odd...

I hope my kids don't waste their pennies on this cr*p!

Gross!

To be fair, it makes really good commercial sense to market a brightly coloured, inauthentic wagon which is suitable only for those modelling Noddy's Toyland Railway - and which can only be run one day per year!!

never bother with it,tv trash.

as Jimmy Carr put it "if you've never been on a school trip, just watch the one show" "oh look its Phil Tuffnel at the pencil museum" lol

Could be worse-Could be the paper weight museum!

She has got her claws into me, fortunately she has okayed a model railway room... :-)

You lucky person.

i have had this problem a few times,

40044 got scraped, 37408 got crashed, and 50036 got cut up

I have to work with it. More disturbing are the increased parcel post rates....

I seem to enjoy knee length leather boots, beef jerky and wardrobes. That's a concern.

LOL. I can top that though, with me it keeps suggesting diesels! ;-)

As long as it's no limited run brass loco with a four-digit price tag... :-D

Hey, do you mind keeping your legitimate excuses to yourself!....

Bug*er! Too late!

No...

wish I could

At the end of the day, regardless of what everyone else might think, it *is* your money.....

now, now

you cannot be serious

But it could be a winning score.

The early ones had a deeper front grille

I know, the outline of the grille looks to be about the only thing on the whole model that is even vaguely the right shape!!!

I screw mine up and use them to light the fire, that's recycling too.

Burn it in an attempt to clear all of that bad tev from your mind.

Do what I did - get rid of the telly.
