Rodney Trotter was always called "Dave" by Trigger
Was wondering how long it would be before someone realised the meaning of the ref to 'Dave' for D421 (as was). After a couple days, I forgot to look in anymore.....guess one's age does indeed tell a lot about us...
..or may be the OP of the comment should have said 50021 "Plonker".......sorry, no offence to the owner of said loco! But if one can't have a laugh....(etc)
Brian was not particularly slow for a snail and he tells me that he resents the suggestion
From my memory, when required, he could move like the s.h.one.T off the old shovel when required. Never heard of a Brush 2 being given that name though (as above somewhere), although a standing joke was they couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. That said, had a few good runs (noise wise at least) from Liv Street to Kings Lynn many years ago, so I do have a soft spot for them.
PS: roll on 'New York, Paris and Peckham'...
