Unlikely, as there was still much to do when we passed through Winslow and area a few weeks ago. Sorry, I was driving; so don't have any snaps or definite date!

I remember visiting the old station at Wheathampstead many years ago, and then it needed better labelling, although we did find it. How was it on your visit?

And one of these was the use of computers to lay out electronic circuit board tracks. Whilst I was working for Elliotts we had a sizeable contract for a defence system, and one day I was instructed by my managing director to order that all circuit boards on my project were designed on the...

Thanks for posting - I'd never heard of her, but certainly Assembly Language was taught to me at various times. Your link mentioned Iann Barron; for a period he and I worked on the same floor at Elliotts at Borehamwood.

Has the Rochdale Canal been cleared now? I remember it being a total mess back in the late 1950s.

Truss seemed to have regained some of her confidence at today's PMQs - I wonder if this will last?

How's the path up Ingleborough? I was last there around 30 years ago when it was being "improved" to look more like a Milton Keynes Redway with heavily engineered surfaces; and for me totally out of keeping with a path near the top of a mountain. I hope it's now blended in.

I don't suppose it does, but local papers mention it quite frequently. With regard to siting any new reservoir, finding somewhere with the fewest people to rehouse must be an important factor. At the moment, Anglian Water haven't announced any water supply restrictions, but East Anglia is...

Considering that "experts" have been saying that East Anglia has less rain than the Sahara for many years, I'm surprised the announcement has taken so long. I wonder what they will do with the earth removed? How about making a hill in East Anglia!

Have we now got our (gas?) storage systems working again? Seemed crazy to me to let such a facility go out of use.

I'm not from the railway industry, but from an avionics manufacturer and I would occasionally work from home when reports had to be written. My commute was from Harpenden and around 40 minutes (on a good day) to outer London, and negotiating St Albans. When we moved closer, even my kids...

Like many of us, we drove through Belgium on our way to other areas of the continent, and on our first visit we negotiated Brussels with no problem, using the motorway style bypass to the east of Brussels. On a later visit, having missed a sign, we found ourselves approaching central Brussels...

No way - I was with my daughter (who lives in Blackpool), and it really did take her around 30 minutes to get the app for Milton Keynes set up and credited so that we could visit the shops, with her car parking suitably validated. (Her son is disabled and that's why we used her car rather than...

An Iphone - no idea what vintage.

But is the app the same as used elsewhere? On a recent visit to me in Milton Keynes, my Blackpool based daughter found that the app on her phone didn't work in Milton Keynes. Downloading and installing the one for Milton Keynes took around 30 minutes. The benefit to me was that my grandson...

Reminds me of when I got stung at the car park at Arlesey (ECML), northwards bound. I paid on arrival, and simply accepted the ticket from the machine. A few days later I received a demand for a £100 fine for not paying the parking fee. I then realised that the splodgy mess in the middle of...

The long term "environmental" and similar views of some of her appointees don't fill me with confidence. We'll have to wait and see. (I hope I'm wrong.)

I fear it's the most right wing government in my lifetime (b 1938).

Whatever happened to the ITV coverage of the gun salute at the Tower of London? Did their main camera fail, and they substituted a Smartphone? It wasn't that good in some other locations, but I thought that at the Tower was worst.

I don't go to a gym. The last time I exercised (or, was exercised) was when I was doing National Service - in 1958. And I hated it. The RAF had us studying in school-type classrooms for around 9½ days out of the 10 days in two weeks. Then the schedule had us over-exercising for a solid...
