Ha, I'd love to see Leg-Iron doing that job. He'd have the kids screaming and running in droves from the park!
Agh, it's at the other end of the country.
I'd be great at it. "Scream if you want me to wheelie it again".
As Leg-Iron says wrong end of the country.
Crikey. In this Health and Safety conscious age can that 'noxious' boiler smoke be authentic, Leggy?
They have one of these in Royden Park, Wirral.
I was on it once, around 8 years old, and a piece of burning coal from the stack caught in my hair, and set it on fire. (Looked like Bob Marley for a few weeks, but it grew back no problems)
Driver stopped and poured water from the tender on my head, and carried on with the trip.
Imagine that happening now?
He would be in court, and the railway would be banned for ever.
MTG - I'd add some dried tobacco stalks to the coal, just to make it that bit deadlier.
Furor - he'd be charged with 'assaulting burning hair' these days.
Not to mention the odd (VERY "odd") mushroom, and a bit of hash.
"Na Madam, what do you mean; 'my child can not stand up straight'?"
"Was it like that before the trip?"
(pardon the pun)
I hate Tragos.
It reminds me of 1970s shopping and I find the place totally eccentric. I've bought stuff there that turned out to be shite.
How can you not be allowed to take trollies out to the car ?
Yes, I suppose there is a sense of time not running quite the same way in there as other places, but they had some bargains and it is very handy if you are on any kind of holiday.
Also not a bad place to break the journey - restaurant, washroom, free parking, quick dash round the food shop to stock up with things so you don't have to make a separate trip, replacement toiletries when finding out the wash-bag has been left at home (again). Hang it, I might just stay there for my next holiday so that at least I don't have pack as if I were moving a small army.
