A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

You have my sympathies, Robin, but as others have said, don't worry too much about it. Nothing worthwhile that I have ever done has been achieved without a lot of blood, sweat, tears and bad language.

It seems especially true that a build that you think will go smoothly will, if fact, be full of trials, tribulations and many opportunities for 'character building'.

Many a true word there CK.

The girls at skool used to say that. Oh, sorry, that was Beatle.

Or in shorthand: a load of folk from swagland will be there on Sunday about 10am.

Well observed figures, but none of the lazy so-and-sos are actually doing any work!

One week away and such a lot of good stuff to catch up on.  Back in working days I used to laugh at colleagues whose first priority on return from holiday was to catch up on five episodes of Corrie or Eastenders or whatever.  I'm getting like that with ANTB.

 

But keep the pics coming!

Don't forget a couple of years ago these people repainted, renumbered and renamed a Manor class. Promotion to Jo Public is everything to make money. History is bunk.
