Title: Reading out of order Post by: grahame on June 14, 2015, 19:57:33 Just occasionally "most recent posts" turns up some interesting threads if you (mis)read them as following on from each other.
is it me or is this branch line getting really over grown the amount of trees and bushes that crash along the train certainly wouldn't stick your head out the window on a hst ouch. .... The same has happened at Waterloo. .... Is it just me that notices such things? // Reminds me of a two Ronnies sketch! Title: Re: Reading out of order Post by: Chris from Nailsea on June 14, 2015, 20:42:23 Interestingly, we're nearly at the bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo, where Napoleon received a rather good birching, so to speak. :P ::) ;D
Title: Re: Reading out of order Post by: johoare on June 14, 2015, 20:50:02 It didn't help my understanding that as soon as I read the title of this topic I thought it had something to do with Reading station being out of order! ::)

Title: Re: Reading out of order Post by: grahame on July 16, 2015, 12:23:07 Following the confused theme, is this something to do with a pause while changing trains in Berkshire?

I'll get my coat... Title: Re: Reading out of order Post by: JayMac on July 17, 2015, 12:08:29 Then there's this:

Damn you beat me to it :) But it's good for me to know I'm not the only sad person that takes pictures of lift control panels :) Title: Re: Reading out of order Post by: JayMac on July 17, 2015, 14:34:45 I do have a picture of a Schnidler's Lift, but not accessible from my phone. The one above came from a Google image search.

(http://www.wellho.net/pix/readingbreak.jpg) Reading used to be known as "Biscuit Town" due to Huntley and Palmers Title: Re: Reading out of order Post by: bobm on July 18, 2015, 05:47:12 Indeed. One of the three Bs it was famous for. Beer (Simmons later Courage) Biscuits and Bulbs (Suttons Seeds). The town's football team was nicknamed the Biscuitmen before changing to the Royals in the 1970s.
