So passengers going to Leeds from York don't see or hear "...Leeds" and end up on a long ride round the Harrogate loop instead of a quick journey down the main line, or vice versa. Similar happens at Lancaster or Carlisle with regard to the Cumbrian Coast line.

Be careful you don't nod off on the Pontefract Line and wake up to find yourself in Goole.

If I was on the Pontrefac t line I wouldn't be able to nod for thinking "what fresh hell has my life turned into?".

Thank you. Seems logical now, but I'd always opt for the more scenic route if I had the time.

What is this instrument called and would it be very difficult to learn how to play it? 🤔 I ask because it's for sale in 'Accrington Antiques' for £100.

I think it is a Cello. Could just possibly be a double bass, doesn't look big enough, but difficult to be sure of scale.

Supposed to be fairly challenging to lean. A work colleague of mine (who is also a cyclist) plays one in a classical orchestra.

 

[Alex321]

Without knowing the brand, no idea whether that is a good price. New ones range from about £200 to £20,000+

So do I after looking it up. It does look like the one below.

Same principle as the guitar but there's no frets so is harder, and you've got to bow it. As a guitarist I once tried the violin and could get a few notes out of it. If you don't play any stringed instruments then it'll take you a good year with lessons to play a tune

It sounds quite difficult to learn then, plus taking it on the bus to Cello lessons could prove tricky!! 🧐

Listening to this, if it'd take a year to play one tune, then it'd probably take me a lifetime to reach the standard of those, below!!

It's a double bass.

You can't learn to play it without proper instruction.

I can't imagine @Accy cyclist doing the stray cat strut.

Why is it that a dog who's reactive to other dogs doesn't go mad when it sees it's reflection in a shop window?

I've just boiled two large free range eggs to have with wholemeal bread. After one egg and one slice of bread I feel like I've eaten enough. My question is will the uneaten medium boiled egg be ok to eat cold tomorrow, or should I hard boil it for bacteria safety reasons? 🤔 🧐

Eat it tomorrow. If you keep posting, it means it was ok.
