@GreenGiraffe22 Neil and I are having a weekend in Brighton at the end of the month, thinking of hopping on a train and visiting Worthing as never been there before. 2p arcade machines on the pier eh? Sweets for prizes? Sounds inviting… 😁

@GreenGiraffe22 @AncestryUK I’d be very worried about the Isle of Man bit…. 😂😂

[Tony Boston @HighSpeedTony]

@railnigel Two channels, two VHF 405 lines aerials, one for BBC (looks like an X), one for ITV and only the posher neighbour had a telephone. Nearest phone box 3 streets away where you needed a 3d, a 6d, or a shilling for long calls.
Jeez I’m getting old…..

@Captain_Deltic My Ford electric car has internal sound effects that make it sound a bit like a sports car when you accelerate hard. I want to get to that sound file and change it to a class 87. 😁
