Quote from: The Train Fellow
I approached a travelling chef the other day - he was clean, well presented and actually seemed to have an interest in cooking - although he had no sausages available for the "Breakfast Baguette" - In my opinion, this leaves out a very important part of breakfast. Sausages are a must.

Except that I get the 1718 (but from WOS» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains)) and of the 5 days I've caught it so far I come up the exscalators of plat 5 at Reading about 0824

I think he exagerates somewhat

Mookiemoo, is there perhaps another marketing opportunity for you here - providing a daily supply of freshly laid eggs from your free range chickens to FGW▸ (First Great Western) travelling chefs?   Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
