    Is the Alex Crowley in this clip a descendant of Aleister, the 'Great Beast'?

    Did not Cherie Blair come from Liverpool? Or was it just that her father played a 'Scouse git' in Till Death Do Us Part? It doesn't seem to have held her back?

    You're thinking of 'Jump', which I'm often tempted to sing in church.

    I forgot to say that the station in Walsingham is not Catholic but Eastern Orthodox. http://wasleys.org.uk/eleanor/churches/england/norfolk/walsingham_stseraphim/index.html

    The protesters ('Walsingham Witness') are generally held to be part of the enjoyment of the pilgrimage. Disappointingly, their website seems to have disappeared. I once saw a splendid placard which listed the consequences of idolatry in cumulative heinousness and ended, 'mass murder, international terrorism and bingo'.

    Another remake involved a milkfloat and a hairy baby maker.

    Shortage of cash led Ridley to sell the rights to The Ghost Train, a move he later regretted, because the royalties would have saved him having to continue to work into his eighties.

    Preferred, I suspect, only because the earlier version with Jack Hulbert and Cicely Courtneidge survives only in part and mostly without sound. The surviving footage is available to watch here.

    Chase water today.

    Black. Interesting.

    Unfortunately, the Stafford Road model is designed to fit the Hornby chassis. I don't know if it could be fettled to fit the Bachmann version.

    I am surprised the Rev. Mrs Browne is free on a Sunday.

    The Grauniad, in typically even handed fashion concludes that either it does or it doesn't.

    There was always Haresfield in Gloucester. Not strictly an island, but the very narrow platform was between two tracks.

    Since 1983 being born in the UK doesn't give you British nationality unless one of your parents is a UK national.

    You can still claim the Wayfarers' Dole of bread and beer at the Hospital of St Cross in Winchester.

    It might be worth considering that beer wasn't originally a recreational drink, but a way of treating water so that it didn't kill you.

    I'll wager 1930s coffee wasn't as bad as this wartime blend. I might open it one day and find out.

    This photograph doesn't exactly answer your question, but it looks as though these shells in Burton-on-Trent are being loaded into open wagons. On the other hand, the workmen building the camps travelled by open wagon on the Tackeroo.

    Old enough to get married too! (Marriage of 16-18 year olds has has been banned since 27th February.) Congratulations on your coming of age.

    Gloucester’s cattle market was adjacent to the Midland station.

    Thanks for this, Johnster. I've enjoyed reading your reminiscences in various threads. It's good to have them in one place.
