    I shall be reporting you all to a mod for asking the wrong question and for showing an inappropriate photograph. :eek:

    The correct question was:-

    "Who served our bier"

    And the photo should of course have been of the four BSWs working the bar, anyone of which could have been the one who served you.:)


    BSW in this case being of course, Borough of carlisle Serving Wench.





    ;)

    A very short video of SG this morning passing Tebay (doing 61mph if you can believe those drinkers on board - probably got their thingy upside down and it's really 19mph)

    (Hope you're having a good run chaps.)

    46115 made heavy weather of the climb to ais gill, down to 19mph at one point.
    Lost around 12 mins at one point.
    There is a suggestion of a fire bar issue (and a metal plate being added at Carlilse, ) here's a close up at Carlisle of the slide bars before we left as well with a bit of an oil leak.

    Although we had 20 mins st Appleby we were not allowed to detrain.

    Also of note is the new water crane at hellifield, we departed 5 early.

    There is a freight behind us from castle cement.

    Beartown verdict :
    Ralph's says it has molassses
    Sheff says liquorice with a hint of domestos, not toilet duck.
    Belle1: golden syrup wi a birra treacle.
    Me: ain't to bad for a dark one

    I didn't know it was dark.....................

    As long as it tasted good, that's all that matters! :)

    Quite surprising the different descriptions of the same beer, though I question Sheff's verdict............................. Domestos?.............................

    And if you lads don't know, we beat the Paddy's at HQ, but only just! :) - one hell of a game, last five minutes seemed to last an hour!
