    I suspect those like you or I who understand what "9d" meant and are under 50 are very much in the minority, even though we do exist.

    I set pub quizzes - now why aren't you surprised.:rolleyes:

    For a few years my favourite tie break question was:

    'How many farthings in a guinea?'

    Hmmm, it's got to be 4 times 12, carry the eight, add 21, divide by the number you first thought of, add the running number of Dinmore Manor, divide by a 7F (can never remember whether that step means divide by 88 or 89 - don't suppose it makes much difference), stake the number of pounds you get on the third horse in the 3:30 at Wincanton at 6-1 on -- is the answer 1008, Miss?

    Tom (not even born when all that stuff went by the wayside).

    One question in a pub quiz that sometimes stumps people.
    What is special about XYZ Date?

    It's the Question setters birthday.
    After everyone has gone through all the historic answers possible.

    More likely to be misidentifcation. Unless there is some subtlety we have missed.

    Not sure the other Signalmen would be pleased by the new uniform. The trident might be useful in getting enginemen off shed, though.

    Usually the problem with getting off shed is waiting for the Bobby to turn up and then answer the phone. Well, it is on the NYMR, anyway.
