    I think just give them chance, but remember it wasn’t a definite. I suspect from a couple of texts from the roster clerk earlier they are finalising right now.

    As far as I can see the Mid Hants July Diesel Gala pages have not been updated for some time. Where is this and the Class 66 information from.? Or do I now have to book my place in a Care Home?

    Of course it is. I don’t do Facebook now. So I am safe to continue normal gricing for a while then?
