      I think I must have first heard it c1960 not long after first starting school. Hated school to begin with so this song always makes me feel depressed - can't help the occasional smile, mind you. Sums up my life, ever since.

      Good stuff, Tim. For me, another 'obligatory' railway-related TV programme was 'The Signalman' by Charles Dickens, starring Denholm Elliot

    Question. What is the speed limit for cycles on pavements?

      the ticket becomes invalid. You can also be prosecuted for the offences of Dangerous cycling, Careless, and inconsiderate, cycling, and Cycling when under influence of drink or drugs! As for trying to enforce some of these though, it can be difficult when say your in a built up area with plenty of alleyways and in a car. But there are the legislations out there though. These might interest you:www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/52/part/I/crossheading/cycling-offences-and-cycle-racing
