Dad had a SERCO last week as well as steamers today and yesterday! He doesn't even have to leave his chair to get a clear image of the trains, and to top that off his room cannot be more than 20 degrees or so because of some technical reson! :o What a way to spend these hot days...

Not if you wear waterproof clothing ;)

I'm the expert at staying dry in storms

Stayed dry doing a paper round when we had 6 inches of rain in 90mins in all over gore-tex, worked a treat. It was only a week ago last tuesday, those in the midlands might have heard about a little village called albrighton been flooded, and guess where i live http://www.bbc.co.uk/shropshire/con...brighton_flash_flood_feature.shtml]story here

I have been told in the past my brain is made of gore-tex, but it works

If you can stay dry with 6 inches hitting you in 90mins, it is water proof

Very true.... particularly staff!
On a more serious note.... its amazing how much with all this bad publicity we still make a fortune... our store is a quieter store on 15-20k a week.
