  1. Just looked, Shippea Hill was automated in 2012, the bloke I'm talking about took over from his father, he'd worked the box with his dad all his life. I was shocked when he told me back then that he.was earning around £50k/year.
  2. Not sure.when it was automated but there was still a signalman at Shippea Hill on the Breckland line (the fens) when I worked for.Anglian Water 1999-2010, I always stopped for a brew with him if I was out that way, iirc there was one train a day.Mon-Fri and 2.on.Saturdays.
  3. Yep very interesting, and somehow weirdly relaxing. In the same article there was a section about lighthouse keepers, a job I'd like to have a stint at.
  4. Yep, always had problems with condensation in my narrowboat tank if it wasn't kept full, easier said than done in the winter due to maintenance stoppages on the network, couldn't get to a marina to top up or the fuel boats not being able to get to me.
  5. You can be as right as you like, I care not.
  6. Ermmm, got all my apps sorted, still can't work out how to post pics. More investigation needed
  7. Not so much family but friends, I thought I was well hid up in a lane not far from you when almost everyone I know decendeded on me today. Where they think I'm going to store this shite in a camper is beyond me.
  8. That'll do, thank ya. Been trying to work this bugger out this afternoon, think I'm getting the hang of it.
  9. Lost my phone 5 weeks ago today and resisted getting a new one, yesterday I got a phone given to me for Christmas, not an iPhone so it's all new to me. Give us a wave if you can see this.
  10. Proud or going hungry? That is a sad state of affairs, if they are entitled to it they should get it, need help sorting it there are plenty of charities and decent people who will help with it, don’t ask the answer will always be no.
  11. Love it Ammo, 14 years of Conservatives milking the country, a few months of Labour and they are all to blame. As for the bollox that is winter fuel allowance for pensioners, virtually all that are just on the limit they can claim it back on tax credits. Fecking sick of hearing this nonsense. No research but plenty to say.
  12. I’m pulled on the pub car park and the old bill turn up, he says, you are coming in , don’t think so mate, I’m on private property, I’ve done nothing wrong,.idiots can’t leave me alone. I have to keep my mouth shut, but it won’t be long before someone gets it.
