great central Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 8 hours ago, Steamport Southport said: Yes. Did it as a dare at a music festival for a couple of pints. Only in the campsite area. Didn't wear it in the part where bands were on and it was for a very short time of about half an hour. Thankfully I doubt there is any visual evidence and it was a long time ago. Probably when that awful film was out. Loads of other people were wearing them though and ISTR the weather was very hot and I was probably more worried about sunburn. Several years ago, I had a stag party on my train, from Crewe to Derby, the gent in question wore his mankini all the way. Saturday morning, single car 153 and quite busy. I didn't ask where he was keeping his ticket, but as the rest of the party had tickets I decided not to ask! To be fair they were well behaved, and did say if anyone complained he was quite happy to put his jeans on, everyone seemed to take it in good humour and several of the not so young ladies on board asked him to do a parade walk down the train! Female BTP officer at Derby did ask him to cover up on the station when they changed trains. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Schmidt’s restaurant that used to be in Charlotte Street in London was well known for its rude serving staff (partly genuine, partly a gimmick, I thought). Great genuine German food, though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one back in the 80s in Cardiff, in fact in Broadway just around the corner from me. Can't remember his name but I'm sure other Cardiff modellers will. It wasn't a bad shop in some ways; you could get the sort of bits and pieces that the big shops like Beatties didn't bother with and he had a good selection of s/h, including some nice kit built stuff at tolerable prices. But he'd had a personality bypass at some time and seemed to be largely of the opinion that the purpose of customers was to make him as wealthy as he clearly considered he had a right to be, which coupled with a fuse shorter than a, what, I don't know, something very short anyway, would frequently lead to fireworks! It does seem to me that if you have a congenital dislike of humanity (and he may for all I know have had a good reason to be like this) and you want to make a lot of money, then opening a model railway shop in an inner city suburb is probably not your best bet. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
