Thank you - I certainly feel older quite often. I can recall hearing the news on the 1 o'clock news just before going to the refectory at school. Remember what he produced in such a short time, and imagine what he would have achieved had he...

Led Zep, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple were the start of metal, prog rock taken forward by the likes of Pink Floyd (although were psychedelic with Syd Barrett and into the Meddle/Echoes era and went prog leading up to Dark Side of the Moon), ELP,...

I presume that was after the Beatles had disbanded. It was plainly after Buddy Holly was killed in a plane crash circa 1961. But 5/6d seventy eights were unaffordable on £4 per week wages (less 13/4d National Insurance). You young people...

Yes that was rather the point I was making i.e. it's not the loco owner's responsibility in either situation, private railway or mainline, but whoever holds the safety case. A bit of a treck to come all the way from Crewe on the day for an FTR...

For at least the last 5 GMs, the ballot paper format/wording has changed, sometimes subtly, sometimes not. Strange, as it is largely the work of one person, and each change seems to cause confusion. One advantage of having FOR and AGAINST (and...

I think it’s just a badly worded form. Appointing (by post) the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy and instructing him to vote as indicated on the form, is legal and should have the same outcome as any other ‘postal voting’ system.
