I don’t expect them to, although I’m not really sure why they fail to realise that this a a group of railway enthusiasts, who are likely to donate to appeals but do expect some transparency on where their donation is going in return. I wouldn’t...

There’s also a a good reason why some of us think ‘Stuff You’ and flick 2 fingers up in the general direction when the begging bowl comes out again. If you can’t be bothered to be open and honest with people, why the hell should they should be...

So whenever the quantity of paid staff on the NYMR is raised, your first line of defence is to talk about the cost of volunteers and how difficult they are to manage. Never the positives of volunteers. Who said anything about Nat-pres? As Pete...

Facts about what? John, with respect, If we are talking about that awards ceremony, it’s all there in black and white on their website. I’m not continuing this conversation here other than to say if those assumptions aren’t correct then why...

If it were GlobalMegaCorp PLC doing the work, probably not. But for an organisation that is making an appeal for every penny it can get to fund the works, I’d expect every opportunity possible to push the message (1) look how much we’ve done...
