I've been reading How local is local again. 🤔 They seem to have lost the plot completely. In fact so lost I worry they might not get home if they set off on a local ride.

I used to have one of those, complete with little mail bags, which it picked up, on the move, from a gantry
My old trainset from the early sixties is on top of the wardrobe in the box room, there's a mail coach in there.

We have a train set, Scalextric, Duplo, Brio and a farm awaiting our granddaughter.

I used to take my Scalextric along to a pal’s house and we joined two together and made a massive track.
Can’t remember if we had to use both transformers to power it or if one did the job.

I left when they started using long words like Disingenuous and Mendacious . Have you noticed when the first posts start ,they must set their alarms to be first with there point.

We’ve been watching it on i-player. Just watched episode 4. Compelling viewing ! Will probably finish it off tomorrow.

I wonder if they’ve sold it to the Scandanavians ? It’s every bit as good as the stuff they do. And with the odd Tunnocks wrapper thrown in tooI thought about just watching it all on iplayer but I’m just waiting for the next episodes to come on. I enjoy the anticipation

Do any of you remember the group "New World" from the 70s. I really like their songs especially Tom Tom turn around , Sister Jane and Kara Kara
I didn't know that they wrote the song " Next door to Alice" made famous by Smokey. They had proper songs in those days.
I quite enjoy watching it again on You tube.

The older transformers were good up to around a 24 foot track. Newer ones not as good.

Reported, to the council, for "breaking" covid regulations. I was outside the house between Christmas and the New Year.
The fact I was chasing medication wasn't known, just that I'm disabled and shouldn't have been out. Councilg have now got until the end of this week to supply the name of the person who reported me, or I take on the council. Person who I spoke to gave me the feeling they didn't quite believe me.
