(All’s ship shape) In return for a neighbour hanging me over nearby cliffs for seagull eggs when i was a kid, He would lend his wife’s pram for me to get coke from the (street lighting) gas works! And later, I would get that very coal with my BR Ivatt engine at the port /docks, Cant remember if coal imported or Welsh coal come round lands end sea route? The M7 or Ivatt 2Mt ok for tricky dock or port rail lines! But standard 82019 (none saved) Or the 80064 Riddle type too heavy or wrong wheel alignment to venture down there? Just me and my shunter who could leap like some Russian ballet dancer onto his long pole to set off two lots of coal wagons before i would have to slam brakes to draw forward again! I would leap side to side for regulator and brakes in rapid order Lol. When yard and dock work done we could go home! We would only do goods work on certain turns!

Nuclear missiles offered to Cuba! So beer n fags go up in budget? So nothing changed much really?
