    I say this with more about how the L&B didn’t exactly suit itself well with locals the first go around: be it by a lack of proximity as was the case with Woody Bay or Lynton’s stations to the towns and villages they were supposed to serve, or...

    Agreed - if you're aware someone's taking a photo in the first place, of course. What you don't need is a load of sarcastic abuse on several occasions afterwards, as I got that day. Quite ruined the whole day for me.

    There’s a balance - it’s only polite to try and keep out of the way of somebody’s shot if you possibly can. On the other hand, as you say, anyone who acts ‘over entitled’ is a berk.

    I do hope you're not one of these people who get angry if someone passes across their shot whilst they're setting up: I nearly came to blows with an absolute berk at Derby 200 over that after he got abusive towards me. You ain't important just...

  5. Miff 支持 Old Kent BikerLynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.

    To be fair, this thread has been running since 2009, and has 818 pages, so it is perhaps a bit much to expect anyone to remember or read through all of it, and not everyone is within easy distance of the L&B to visit 'in the flesh' so to speak....

    The basic idea pre-dates electronic navigation systems; I once saw for sale, in a truck stop, a map-book which included annotations on things in the map which would only be of use to truckers (I don't recall whether it was clearances, or maximum...

    From day one of my apprenticeship, my tutor would mention again and again, "measure twice, cut once". It certainly cut out the basic errors. But always remember, the person that never made a mistake was the person that never did anything. [BJ]

    When a planned closure of an 'A' road is necessary, the alternative route is always selected so that it will provide a similar clearance and weight limit to the road that is closed. This is specifically to help large/heavy vehicles. Car drivers...

    Near me, there are still idiots who like to black out the metric measurements on height restriction signs.

    That is the plan! I've just put a note into the footers on both sites! :)

    Thank you! Both old websites are out of date, with the EA one apparently still looking for shareholders and the YVT one saying the only 'Members' are the trustees. No doubt the new website will resolve this :)

    i remember driving the PW Manager to Dixter Halt just before the project started to re-open to Bodiam. The railway was the thicket at the end of the track from Dixter Farm. There were trees with a girth exceeding 12 inches in the four foot and...
