Inspiring stuff, its proof you can achieve whatever you want to if you don't let things hold you back and a reminder of how much a lot of us (myself included) take for granted. My brother was born without his left arm, he trained as an electrician and he's now the international electrical specialist for the company we both work for. Requested by superyachts around the world.

Amazing stuff!

ooh you lucky soul, just rising rust round here

But you do get a clear ahead view in the trams which I don't think there was in the 504s!

I thought it was already open! At Piccadilly, yesterday, the destinations had changed from Droyelsden to Ashton.

TfGM website says first tram from Ashton will be 05.59 Wednesday 9th October.

Have some irritating looped music...

... It's called "music", is it?

Comes as a shock to me - much like the concept of actually getting my call answered by a real person, possibly even some time today ... nah ... not allowed.

"An unexpected high volume of calls" they also say in normal times, which doesn't exactly engender confidence that they can manage their day-to-day business.

I find this very odd. It wasn't that long ago he was being linked with

Not even 29 until June. Strange but no doubt well paid move.

A clich

It's a Class 20 out of a Farish-shaped box for a Carendt-sized layout :-)

Oh, a quart in a pint pot kinda thinking, I see... hmmmmmm

When the expression 'having a good idea' was turned into 'blue sky thinking' and old-fashioned stuff ceased to be 'cool'.

Shouldn't that be two?

There are 10 kinds of people. Those that understand binary, and those that don't...

Unless Simon was being ironic...

even 'can i get...?' is quickly becoming 'i want....'

Ah yes, CK. The Australian inflection!

Sounds like you've all become 'highly inflected' with it now. Just 'station stop' it!

It probably started on Merseyside. "You alright derrrr laaaa?" etc.

In Swindon pubs, they did things a little differently.

"Drop lights!"

I don't know but it is something which has long puzzled me (like lots of other expressions used by railway modellers).

I hope you strode over and pointed out the error of their selfish ways... Oh, how abashed they'd surely be!

Depends on the train operator but you are allowed to talk in the Quiet Zone on FGW for example - but obviously not go mad about it (but then that applies in the rest of the train anyway according to the Byelaws).
