    If companies treated their customers with as much disrespect as they treated people who reply to job advertisments they'd be out of business in a month or two.

      Agree, it's just common courtesy. I guess it's what happens when you are no longer a 'valued employee' but simply a 'human resource' that can be replaced like an obsolete piece of equipment

      99% of applications are probably sent by email so it shouldn't be difficult to acknowledge receipt let alone say thanks but no thanks - no cost apart from maybe an hour of someone's time.

    How many RMweb members does it take to start an argument?

      That's not an argument, that's just a series of contradictory statements

    Tried to enter the 'exclusive' RMweb members competition. Typical website lets me register then says my password is wrong. Gave up and deleted email, this doesn't help Warners at all!!

    The minimum space O gauge project seems to be starting well... board 1 almost complete with my first attempt at a swivelling sector plate...

    Hmmm spare board that was never used, 3ft x 18". Too small for a project?

      Hmm 15" each for a setrack point makes 30" for a crossover... doesn't give a lot of fun on a 31.5" board.

      ok I remeasured and it's 31.5" x 16", apologies... now, N is an obvious option, don't have American HO, but have just sound fitted my O gauge Dapol 08... could I really satisfy myself in O in that space though? Maybe the Setrack O gauge points may come in handy?

    There are many catalysts for wanting to kick-start stalled layout construction: an inspirational layout thread on here, attending a show... but receiveing my Hattons 14xx yesterday has put a rocket up my motivation. I no longer want a secondary GWR main line, I want a... GWR BLT!!!

    Is there a secret to de-cluttering? How do you throw things away knowing for sure you aren't going to need them in a couple of weeks time?

      There was a local shop called the Sofa King, but his adverts were banned when he used the line they're not just good, they're Sofa King good.

    Dilemma... faithfully reproduce the track plan but have to extend the baseboards by 2 inches width, or drop one of three sidings and fit in the boards I have already made?

    Why is it women have this constant need to move rooms around You spend ages getting the lounge just right after having to move TV and phone lines etc. and just as you get used to it a year later they want to move it all round again, hmm

    Who else finds the Kernow Model Centre weekly newsletter on a Friday afternoon a most comforting way to start the weekend?

      comforting perhaps but occasionally expensive.
