Hi all <br /> <br />Got back from a weekend away to find a large box in the conservatory – my new LGB railcar has arrived. It's a RhB (Swiss metre gauge) overhead electric unit. Looks like I can't post a photo due to my useless ISP website builder package (it's just hung and refuses to accept any commands). Ah well, it's 2ft long, weighs nearly 4kg, and is yellow! <br /> <br />John, now there's a radio show they should repeat. The Goons were far ahead of their time and are still funny now, and I note they didn't have to resort to childish “ha ha, he swore” humour... <br /> <br />***, this was a fairly small burn on a concrete path, so it didn't seem that it could get out of control. I need to go back and burn it again sometime as while it's killed the grass off perfectly it's left a lot of dry grass behind. Given we're still getting regular rain and the lawns are very green I don't see it posing a problem. Ice is a real pain though – we had a multiway connector on the RV cold water system freeze a couple of years ago, the end broke off and we ended up with water everywhere. Interestingly enough they now fit brass ones rather than plastic, so the builders have clearly spotted a design flaw! <br /> <br />J.R. I think we just call them muffins – do you mean the flattish bread things that you cut in half and toast? Crumpets are different – they're the ones with holes in that absorb butter but aren't so good for adding toppings to. <br /> <br />Ryan, spot on, the response to a foul-up by authority is always to impose even more on the rest of us. I wonder if they'd be so enthusiastic about spending our tax money on daft ideas (think Millennium Dome – in England they built an expensive and pointless tent, in Wales we built a very useful multi-purpose stadium to mark the year 2000) if they knew they'd be held responsible... <br /> <br />Bye for now
