I know what you mean, Peter - the "new content" thread notification only seems to trigger with a new post (be that a merged, or a distinct separate, post). Adding new content to existing post, does not trigger a thread-notification. It will be how the site business-logic / rules werre defined at...

Very good! :lol: The nonplussed camping group waits in vain for bbq brunch. The young lady grew bored of waiting for food, so she made a beelne for a queasyburger van - but she's slipped on the mud at the crucial moment In reality, the campers descent upon our Sainsbury's....

I'm an erstwhile fan of oxtail stock, oxtail soup, ox-tongue. In the 1970s + 1980s, my parents often served those up, using proper offcuts from local butcher's. Liver I quite like - but only in the way I cook it: I merely sear it and I complement it with bacon lardons or black pudding. In the...

You didn't fancy doing Stirling's buildings and awnings, N? :lol: That is a stunning result @Cowley and I really like how tnat conveys the "bulk" of Scottish stone-built stations. I know what you meant re: Thurso; I was there in 1990 and I had a double-take after walking along the platform...

Institute of Electrical Engineers?

The first payment (£1,560.30) is due 8-September, according to your post 55. So that gives you tomorrow (Saturday) to look for a suitable low-value (sub £5000) credit bank account - 1) look at consumer websites, i.e. MoneySavingExpert, CompareTheMarket. 2) contact your bank tomorrow (phone...

What wonderful walk @weepingwillowb and such sobering story @WesternLancer - and super photos, both. 8-)

I am sure one such works was near the Tate & Lyle plant at Silvertown (near Canning Town, London's Royal Docks). On a good day, the smell of refining sugar wafted along to the Thames Flood Barrier. On a not-good day, the stench of carcasses being rendered-down, hung in the same air...

"They've all gone." His melacholic memories of a once-proud workforce at a once-mighty company. Inspired by Portsmouth's "Victorious" annual music-and-arts festival. Hardy campers stay on a big field at Farlington (it's packed this weekend). They paid £100 a ticket, months ago; and they have...

Chase even spurned liver (yet I love seared chicken livers, still raw in middle). He turned his nose up at pig heart. Yet, we gave.him a tuna steak and the furry sod scoffed it in 10 seconds....

I think only about 3 miles (perhaps less) is on the alignment of the old Glenfarg route. Whenever I drive it, I wonder what might've been, if the railway line had been retained there.

Stephenson's Rocket Salad. Pop-up food stall. Eat-in seating available. Shame they didn't market this theme farther north. Swallows and Amazons. When InterCity sector launched its Swallow brand in 1987, online shopping was still a distant dream in our daily lives. Sometimes, we need a little...

The "Spamcan slip". The flanges squeal, the driving wheels suddenly spin frantically, the exhaust's staccato stutter, the crew's curses. They can't wait for the new electric trains...

Three years and circa £4,000 worth of fare evasion does not give you much bargaining. If GTR's Fraud Departnent do not agree to giving you a "pay by instalments" option - and, as others explained, they have no obligation to - and if you genuinely cannot borrow / raise all the monies for this...

Much as I love the sight of an immaculate, chrome-sparkled, paint-glistened older car, I'm happiest when I see a cherished "daily driver", beihg used exactly what it was intended for. Those seem to be ever-rarer, so well done for spotting one! 8-)
