  1. Used on wagonways to allow the horses to proceed without tripping over transverse sleepers. Some early steam railways were laid on them, just in case the engines might have to be replaced by horses. Their lack of resiliency was a contribution to rail breakages (as well as loco weight) and they also were prone to going out of gauge due to the weight of the locos. Good for horses and chaldron wagons, but that was about their limit.

  10. Back again... Only away 5 days, I'll leave catchup for when I've been out for bread, milk, etc! Watches? I'm currently using a Pulsar Kinetic, which works like an old fashioned autowinder but for a quartz movement and must be nearing its second decade at least. Its had a couple of straps and I might get a new strap soon to keep in reserve. For "formal" use I have an oblong Rotary with a Millenium hallmarked Sterling silver case. The interior is nothing to write home about...
  11. That would be the cryptic clue...

  17. Overhanging/unbalanced load ✔️ Improperly secured load ✔️ Load too heavy for vehicle ✔️ Improper towing method ✔️ Brakelights/indicators not connected to towing vehicle ✔️ Inapproprate towing weight ✔️ Towing vehicle possibly unroadworthy ✔️ Wheres the book? 🤪
  18. Weasels are a gingery colour, so doubly appropriate! Assuming the unthinkable, I'd like to see it used as his formal title...
  19. I've a toaster oven sitting in the garage.

  23. The local big Tescos now has a sushi counter. The people who shop in curlers and pyjamas are a bit puzzled by it.... Speaking of serve yourself, how many miss UK Woolies pick'n'mix?
