I've got a raod with a row of half relief terrace houses in front of my backscene, road bridge at each end "disguise" the track vanishing rather than a tunnel.

Yes know what you mean Mick, I have placed a road over rail bridge to hide the hole on my layout, you can hardly see it with the trees but that was the idea.

On my err um 009 layout, the line at one end goes into a tunnel with a tight U turn soon after after a bit under a hillside that's not unusual .
But then it goes through, through the back of a watermill, then through a soon to built terrace of houses, then after a Uie will appear between a hotel and a house at an angle that's almost impossible to see from the front of the layout.

Just checked my ULEZ account which I set up specifically for attending a funeral towards the end of April and it says both my payments and balance as £0.00 even though it says my car is chargeable at £15 per day and I was 'in the zone' for 3 days 

My water bill dropped through the door today. I opened it, fearing the worst, but...

IT'S GONE DOWN!!!

I've no idea why, but I'm not arguing.

Cheers,

Chris

I'm generally a happy person but I was really happy last night after polishing this off. It doesn't taste anything like the 7.3% it states which is probably why I was in bed just after 10pm. I think I'll get some more for the weekend coming so my brother-in-law can give his opinion:

While waiting for the track cycling to come on the telly today I caught a bit of the sailing (dinghy) and laughed my socks off. With all due respect to @The Q, and having experience of marshalling NGF members for mugshots at TINGS, this was literally true to the definition of herding cats. It made my day

Well tomorrow I am going on the real East Lancashire railway, my son bought me tickets for my birthday. Strange as it may seem I have never been on it yet the wife has. So a first for me, looking forward to it, might get the bus into Bury to save trying to find somewhere to park.

My parents paid a visit to the East Lancashire Railway on Sunday to meet up with an old school friend of my mother. The friend's partner died a couple of years ago and was cremated and it seems that the railway run a service where the boxed ashes can be placed in the firebox of a locomotive (someone goes down the train to tell passengers that they'll be stopped for 10 minutes), where the box rapidly combusts, releasing the ashes, which quickly disperse over the area via the gas flow. I hadn't known that they offered that.

I believe the NYMR also offer this as a Yorkshire born buddy has it arranged in his will

I believe most of the ashes of the deceased end up in the fire grate and eventually the ash pit.

The best way is to put the ashes on the shovel. if the driver has the regulator well open - it will go straght up the chimney without hitting the firebed.
