It's all got a bit topical about Navy ships, hasn't it? Our ship is in Cyprus. Or possible still on the way there. I think still on the way there - they are slow things. |

That was a posh carriage. I hope it’s not stopping in North Staffs. They’ll have the wheels off. |

Only five minutes late tonight. I really enjoyed the second one from last week - let's see if either of these two measure up. I gave it a 10. TT gave it a 9. Definitely 9, quite possibly 10. |

Do all these episodes take place on the same cliff-edge? It's like the Rippers Yarn version of Betchworth Quarry
