Roodee meaning "fourth marsupial from the left"?

The various DLR shots and the 460 are excellent, but #14 gets my vote for the contrast between bogcart and office block, and the lighting effects.

Without unions there would be no NHS. Wages would be paid in kind, rather than cash. Very few people would own their own homes. Large chunks of Africa would still be white-ruled. And that's assuming that unchecked capitalism hadn't unleashed a series of "limited" nuclear wars. Mind you, Maggie...

And their employer has no right to unilaterally change the terms and conditions of their job.

Stockport to Stalybridge is probably the winner. If a service has to be daily, then Bare Lane to Carnforth or Sheerness to Newington.

OK, I'll go along with an HST style top & tail train. The train formation will be as follows: 37175, retrofitted with 1985-style fire-belching exhaust Ex 4-VEG trailer car, with plenty of opning droplights for sticking ones head out. BR Tavern car, with compulsory real ale. "Star of...

Very much worthwhile going. Locos in action should be 20031, 25059, 37075 from the home fleet plus guests 26038, 31466, 50026. I should be there.

What's all the nonsense about the cost of nationalisation? Just compensate the current owners with a minority shareholding in the new organisation. A pherensic attitude to the finances of all past or present MPs, senior civil servants and other public employees would not come amiss, either.

RHDR at Hythe and New Romney in regular use. ELR has one at Rawtenstall, not sure if it works. R&ER at Ravenglass & Dalegarth in regular use. North Bay (?) Railway at Peasholme Park in Scarborough has one at the Scalby end.

Rochdale is 15 minutes walk. Hebden Bridge similar. For most difficult pedestrian access I suggest Eigerwand...

Not forgetting the global warming caused by burning the torch.

Reminds me strangely of the concept of rolling roads/road cities featured in R A Heinlein's science fiction of the 1950s/60s...

Agreed. My preferred solution would be underwater breathing lessons for any lawyer found to be participating in a legal practice with 10 or more others.

Surprised to hear about the snake in the loo. I thought St Patrick evicted them from Ireland a long time ago! :D

Bit of 80s nostalgia for me. Animal Magnet - Welcome to the Monkey House.

Yawn.

An incredibly stupid idea, which will cause resentment, cost the economy millions and lead to an increase in drink driving. Which clown thought this one up?

For a trip round the coast, maybe a bus from Whitby to Scarborough might solve this. Personally, I'd backtrack to Grosmont and do the NYMR to Pickering for a bus to Scab. Other possibilities are: Bus Kings Lynn to Holt, NNR to Sheringham. Ferry Felixstowe to Harwich. Bus/RHDR/Bus...

A herculean wind up attempt by someone. S'not vacuous enough to be truly convincing, though...
