  • Meant to post this before and forgot. This happened on one of the days that the UpnGo mocs were in the Metro...

    Picture the scene.

    It's a cold winter morning and a small group of children from the local infant school are on walkabout round the area, having things of interest pointed out to them by their teachers. As they gathered outside the station, I think the narrative went something like this:

    Look children, this is the railway station. People come here to catch a train. If we look one way, the train goes to Liverpool. If we look the other way, the train goes to Chester.

    Here comes a lady. The lady is going to the station. The lady is walking into the station. Is she going to Liverpool? Or is she going to Chester?

    Oh, here comes the lady again. The lady is coming back out of the station. The lady is not going on the train...


    Yes, yours truly walked in and out of the station in under 3 minutes, emerged carrying a load of papers :o and was greeted by a bunch of happy children all waving !!


    So I just grinned and waved back. :D

    Trulymadly - ds bought iron in tesco on friday breville reduced from £50 to £18 if that is any help. I have a few value ones in stock which I find so light and easy - they suit me. Always can help the kids out when their ones go wrong until they can find a replacement. Think they were £1!
    Interesting comment from Anon about the christmas tree boxes. Think I need one of these we have so much brown tape on the box! Thanks also for the info on MSE energy club. Need to look at this.
    Glad VT and naebarric had a nice break in London

    I avoided that station for a few days in case the other half of the class were going on the same outing!
