Yes, Solvite. Shows how a creative advert sticks in the mind....

The sort of stuff that goes in the descriptive manifesto* accompanying the "work". * A precis of their Arts Council grant submission...

Carruthers! The mince pies are revolting!!!

Picture 1 speech bubble "Where's the cuddly toy?" or perhaps "Honey, the shrink ray is malfunctioning again! Honey? Honey???"

As an LMS mixed traffic engine, it was painted black. It had a 5mt power classification. Ummmmmm.... 🙂

You can tell he's a proper, professional engineer. He's got a white boilersuit!

@Captain Kernow Mine arrived courtesy of my friendly Postwoman, and had nothing to do with "Evri delivery a disaster". After testing, its been reboxed and wrapped in christmas paper, ready to go under the tree when I get around to putting it up, as its my notional present to myself!

Bearing in mind You must have a garden shed There must be room in your garden shed* It might set fire to your garden shed... * Most people with garden sheds stuff them so full of domestic rubbish that there usually isn't enough room for a garden hose, let alone a spare Deltic engine... I hope you're going to video your neighbours first trip on their uprated mobility scooter, the ensuing pandemonium, police chase and trip to A&E, then post it on YooToob..... Please!

Perhaps the missing 1/4 finger is still up there....

Crikey! Are those things inflated after you put them on?

I"ve heard that Charles Dickens also propelled Turkey into the limelight, where the poor Cratchits, who were to consume a paltry Goose for their Christmas dinner, had a monster Turkey* foist upon them by the penitent Scrooge. With "A Christmas Carol" being so popular, it became fashionable to have turkey rather than goose and now the turkey is the default centerpiece of the festive board. * I'm surprised they were able to cook it properly and didn't go down with food poisoning!

Get some nameplates for the last two mentioned. Port and Starboard? 🤪
