I know a chap who considered buying a Pacer body to keep poultry in, but when he saw the inside decided the hens would stop laying.

Sometimes someone does want information fairly urgently, but in that case they can check it frequently.

MellishR liked GWR4707's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
To be honest (and I include myself in this) the first 11 words of the above could sum up this thread and also the other on running in parallel regarding 10A, both have just turned into a constant repetition of the same entrenched positions and...

Maybe it's just me but it seems a waste of time to be talking about grinding axes whilst at the same time throwing darts at legitimate postings. I have no problem with accepting that there is both good and bad policies emanating from WCR and I...

So you have a personal animus with Mr Harris. What has that to do with ORR using its press office to answer legitimate questions from journalists when WC is making public statements which are lacking accuracy, to say the least?

Last week you were hailing the "agreement" with ORR, which WC was claiming to have been struck. There was no agreement and ORR had to say so. WC has undoubtedly done great things with mainline steam but that is in the past and doesn't make ORR...

If a fish rots from the head down, it seems as though the rotting process is now well on the way to reaching the tail.

The NYMR has a CEO, at vast expense both in terms of salary and inepitude, who constantly pronouces her thoughts on the NYMR webpage and elsewhere. "Laura Stangeway CEO says blah blah blah" has become such a cliche to NYMR readers that it oozes a...

MellishR liked jnc's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Writing as someone who has no personal experience of the situation inside the NYMR, I'm not sure (from the dribs and drabs of clues I do have) how much of the blame for the NYMR's poor situation can properly be laid at her feet. I'm not saying...
