Very handy for Horns Green ;)

 

PS Thanks for the tip about Didcot on the 29th - a reasonable, and fairly local, alternative to Taunton that weekend.

:nono: Just make sure you are there (Didcot) in July for your Signal Box lecture it wouldn't be the same without it.

Moaning all!

 

Department reports:

 

i) RECORDS (Broken) and all these subject to additional amounts Wednesday when we're supposed to get another storm of 3-6 inches :rtfm:

Snowfall since Jan 1st - 70 inches, NEW ALL-TIME record for the start of a calendar year!

Snowfall for April - 24 inches, previous 21.3 in 1983

Single snowstorm, this weekend - 14.9 inches beating the 13.6 in 1983

 

ii) Famous misstatements

Having stated I wasn't going OUT in the carp yesterday, apparently the Mrs had another plan. A "play date" with her grand-niece continued as scheduled with the parents dropping the child off, and the Mrs graciously agreeing to have ME return said child at 6PM :jester: Roads were passable but slippery and I'd NOT have gone out for any other reason. :O

 

It finally stopped snowing late evening yesterday <sigh> <yawn>

 

-5 and sunny right now expected high of +2 and mostly sunny all day.

 

Right, back to work for me, carry on y'all!

Ah, yes, when's  that - is it on Mrs Stationmaster's calendar I wonder? :O   What time does Root One open for breakfast on a Sunday? (too late as it happens)

BT Openreach sabotaged a small number of businesses in Ealing due to an accidental cutting of Internet and e-mail services, so we couldn't do much work in the office today. Our rivals, Messrs. Fisher & Myftari, a couple of doors down, didn't even bother opening their office when they discovered the breakdown.

 

Anyhow, that means I left early and have been pouring more fluid into the CX gearbox. According to the Citroën manual, and "alistairq", it's gonna take far more than just a litre of Dexron III to make any difference.....

Thanks Guys for all the messages, text  and telephone calls of support, it probably felt worse than it was, but after a rest yesterday and a good nights sleep last night, I feel better today.

 

Cheers,

Andy.

 

 

Was it the thought of driving around Manchester in a Ferrari? Think of the worry of where to park - like a Bentley in the environs of Buckingham Palace, they get taxed by HM.....

 

Glad you’re feeling better!

 

Best, Pete.

Are you going then because you don't appear to have booked a slot?

Evening everyone

 

Picking the kids up from school was interesting, I now remember why I don’t like doing the school run. As we’d never done the school run since the kids moved last year, Vickie very kindly drew us a map of where to go to pick to collect them. It’s a good job she’s not a cartographer, let’s just say that if she buried any treasure and drew a map of where it was hidden, NOBODY would ever find it!

 

Beer, beer, I need a beer!
