      We can only but imagine what they felt, waiting together at the bottom of those ladders, listening for the whistle to call them to their fate......

    Bangalore Telecomm finally admitted that my broadband problem was actually their problem.

  5. TheSignalEngineer

    How many hours is it possible to waste trying to converse with Bangalore Telecomm?

      Horsetan

      Did you set up an 0906* number for them to call?

      Steve Taylor

      ...answer: how many hours have you got? A copnservative estimate would suggest take the number of hours you have, double it add 3 and you're still no where near the number of hours needed.

    Another morning of getting up to no water, 3rd time in 3 months. When will United Utilities get off their backsides and look at the number of places where water is coming up through the road?

  8. TheSignalEngineer

    The Cat and Fiddle doesn't look far from Macc Forest, it's just the 600ft deep valley in between that's the hard bit on a bike

  9. TheSignalEngineer

    Tennis club pavilion refurb project officially opened so now I can get back to some modelling.

      Trade the bike in and keep the car until it becomes a 'classic'.

      I already have. Mind you, it helped not having a bike in the first place.

    Nice day today. Grandson, aged 2 and a half, announced that he wanted us to take him to ride behind Deltics. Sensible little chap.

      Kylestrome

      I wonder where he got that idea?

  12. TheSignalEngineer

  15. TheSignalEngineer

    Car poorly sick again, time for a new one methinks.

  16. TheSignalEngineer

    Ah! The sun shining and the bark of a Prairie restarting from Blue Anchor. I was back in 1962 for a few moments.

      We were at Blue Anchor last weekend, probably my favourite location on the line. Superb fish and chips at the Driftwood cafe as well.

      Was it due to lack of interest?

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Are they red or grey SQuirreLs?

  24. TheSignalEngineer

    Drat, rode up to Woodhead today, but forgot to pick up camera. The sun shone all the way.

  25. TheSignalEngineer

    Everything on hold while I take advantage of the dry weather to tend the cross between a water meadow and peat bog that doubles for our lawn.
