    Presumably Neil has tried to post a Youtube link and failed, just as I did in the NYMR thread. Can the Mods/someone shed any light on why we can't do this?

    [Are you sure it's not there, or you just can't see it? Chrome blocks such links and need to click the grey shield in the top right address bar if that's the case.]

    me talking crap again - should have tried playing the video before commenting. Yes it's there, no it doesn't play.

    I believe the link may be wrong (not down to me, I hasten to add). I will find the new link unless someone else does so before I get home from work.

    An even more confused me as I can now see the link, although it says that the video has been removed by the owner.

    Been sorted now, very good, a lot more entertaining than TG is now IMO.

    PS Hope the flooding hasn't reached your Signal Box yet ? :)

    Not quite yet, thankfully the signalbox is quite far away from the Severn!

    We'd have to abandon most of the city if the river was high enough to reach his signal box!

    I now understand the problem; well sort of. If I log on as administrator, I can see the link. if I log on as another user, I can't. These computer thingies are too confusing for my simple mind!
