  1. A few more gulls flying about round here, suppose there's no chips for them to steal in Whitby at the moment.

      Stocked up the bird-feeding device yesterday, no gulls but the squirrels are interested!

      Maybe there is also a Mr Nasty 'No Mod' somewhere that comes out to attack trolls and such like.

      There's a need for inclusivity, and the Scots have been complaining that no-one south of the border pays any attention to them. Measures need to be taken!

      Would those measures be pints - or sixths of a gill?

       

      As for our friend "Tam", you could almost imagine some preservation line getting hold of a class 09 - fitting nameplates to it - and hooking it up to a driving trailer.

       

      Well, they've got to make up for income lost to all those Corona lockdowns - better still if they can also get the nippers "trained" ... .

      I kept trying to shoe-horn swear words between the "f" and "l" until I worked our what you meant!

      Another vote for an excellent film. (Haven't seen it in ages though...)

      A landmark I’m well acquainted with, having gone up the A170 from Thirsk towards Helmsley up Sutton Bank countless times and always seeing the mast. I may be crossing wires here but doesn’t it provide 4G as well, which then covers most of the North York Moors?

      Depends on whether you set off 4 hours early...

      Left Edinburgh on time, should have been diverted via Carlisle so engineering work North of Newcastle cancelled so straight through, darlo 2 hours earlier than expected.

      Reminds me of 20 years ago - when track works being cancelled, when I was on a train due to be diverted, ended up costing me money!

      I've lived in Cwmbran (in S Wales, a few miles from the GW main line). At the time, I was commuting daily to Oxford - so the usual routes with my season ticket involved changing at Didcot (Newport - Bristol Parkway / Bristol Temple Meads / Gloucester - Swindon - Didcot) (Hereford - Worcester was an alternative, but took an hour or two longer).

      Track works were planned around Swindon - so train booked to go via "Berks and Hants" - during diversions like this, season ticket validity would be extended to allow travel via Reading - so, if I wanted to visit London, I'd only need to buy a ticket from Reading, instead of all the way from Didcot.

      Track works being cancelled meant a slight change of plans / fare ... !
