Re: one day meeting "christmas barn crib" tour  Thank's to a supposedly 'high speed', 'modern' and 'easy' rail system. (which I'd say was more akin to something from the Rev W. Awdrys tales) Max, Harry and myself will be staying at home. How they can blame bad weather for a rail system THAT RUNS UNDER THE FUCKING GROUND I do not know. It took a grand total of 9 hours to leave my house, drive to the Tunnel, check in, board a train, leave the train and drive back to mine. Another time Tom, sorry for our absense today.

Re: one day meeting "christmas barn crib" tour Has anybody ever sent the BBC a picture before? only they've just emailed me asking if they can use it on thier website.
I hope the tour was good today, and that nobody had the same trouble we had getting there! (or not, as the case may be)

Quote: I hope the tour was good today, and that nobody had the same trouble we had getting there! (or not, as the case may be) Oh, and I think your jinx has spread to here. The drain under our house is massively backed up, to the point it's about to overflow from the manhole cover under the back garden. And it's really not very nice.

Re: one day meeting "christmas barn crib" tour Just back home! Was a great tour through Belgium and the Netherlands. Freezing cold, was busy telling wich way to drive to the driver, keeping the windows icefree inside (all day) and try to think that my feer aren't freezing off.. The last bit of the route was very bumpy, and the chassis touched the earth a few times.. The left front fender came out of its fixing behind the door (ami 8 break). But great fun, but almost no pictures from my side. If I find some I'll post them here. @ Russ: No problem! Untill next time, think thats gonna be Waggel  The weather should be ok by then, so the train can drive to france
