    My school was the same - it gained a latin motto whilst I was in the fifth form "Veritas Praevalebit" - which means "Truth will prevail" I have a very slight knowledge of latin as an altar server in the Catholic Church in the latin days (pre 1965). Still serving sixty years later albeit in a different parish 😀 Dave

    I had an Aunt who used sterri - awful in tea/coffee but great in rice pudding, tapioca and semolina. Dave

    A friend of mine is Italian - I won't let him make me coffee, I always ask for tea. You could stand a spoon up in his coffee, only drank it once and ended up with an upset stomach 😒 Never have been a coffee lover. Dave

    I remember as a boy the Bon Marche in Splott Road, Cardiff (Clothing shop) had a similar system with the cashier in a glass cubicle in the centre of the shop. Dave

    I remember the blob of jam with either rice pudding or semolina on the days when they didn't serve custard. As for prunes many years later I was in a small restauraunt in Earls Court where my main course was rabbit with prunes - it was really nice! The starters on that occasion was prawn coctail and the pudding peach melba. Goodness knows why I remember that particular meal 😀 Dave

    Thinking back to my schooldays in the 1950/60s I swear kitchens of Fitzalan Technical High School had three taps - "Hot", "Cold" and "Custard" - we had it that often! Dave

    My Aunt taught SB at Splotlands Girls Secondary Modern School. My mother assisted at one school Christmas Party and SB, still in school sang. One of the staff remarked that "We have the nwxt Gracie Fields". Apparently SB replied "No, I'm going to be the first Shirley Bassey".

    The plan is very similar to my layout Danemouth which Harlequin had a huge input into curving the platforms as he suggested above Unfortunately his plan disappeared from the thread when we lost images so here's the one that I use on the operational diagram Danemouth Operating Diagram.pdf Dave

    Ah! the location of the model of Danemouth and its owner. 40+ years ago I remember my boss, an Englishman dicating a letter to somebody in Ribena - it did cause some amusement in the typing pool - that's something else thats disappeared. A certain pachyderm also spent his childhood in the area before starting his world tour. I did not know him at that time, a lucky escape 😀😀😀 Dave

    I can beat that Mr Q 😀 Our first TV in 1952 had one channel and was rented from a company called "Rentaset". They actually had to take it away prior to ITV - TWW in our case coming on air in 1958 to fit a channel selection mechanism. Dave

    Like The Johnster my layout Danemouth is flat for the simple reason my skill level will not permit any fancy baseboards, inclines etc. if I am to have anything approaching an acceptable and reliable level of running. Dave
