Ah, Errol Flynn as Robin Hood - the film with the memorable line: "To the tables everybody, and stuff yourselves."

Sorry to revert to an old post (from as long ago as yesterday), but I just thought you all might like to see a genuine picture of a submarine at Gloucester: http://www.visit-gloucestershire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/1940Sub_WEB.jpg

No. Diana Dors, whose real name was Fluck, was invited to open a church fête at St Mark's Church, Swindon (where she had been a Sunday school teacher) and introduced as 'the famous film star Diana Dors, whom many of you will remember as Diana Clunt'.

Yesterday on the GCR: 7820 having recovered failed 1501 and train.

Is the rear buffer beam number still on the wrong (left) side, or has it been moved to the right (in both senses) side?

Here's a chocolate bar for you:
