    That's handsome. I really do hope they can get a (long) period of trouble free running out of it.
    I think the livery suits it well.;)

    Can I introduce @Oswald T Wistle to the dedicated cat thread below:

    https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/cat-matters.1424568/

    Funnily enough, you created it.

    Does it really matter? The inclusion of the cat tales is in a post relevant. It’s light hearted. Or do we have to abide by the rules so strictly nobody can have varying views? I recall something similar happening in Germany in the 1920s/1930s!

    Thanks Al. Yes I am well aware of the thread but funnily enough I didn't create it - it was created by a moderator? who chose to move my post about the death of Diego to a newly created thread. As Diego had developed his own "fan club" in the "What's Going On" thread I chose to post it there to get the sad news through to all his "followers". Since the new thread was created I add cat posts with photos or video to this dedicated thread. After Maisie arrived and in response to a few posts and questions whilst I have been out and about I have added a single "Maisie" paragraph to my longer posts in WGO.

    I do try to adopt a more rounded approach to my posts than most other members, I try to provide context, throw in a bit of humour and attempt to interest and entertain. I genuinely can't see what harm a paragraph of text is doing. :(:Cat:

    Keep up the good work, all your posts are appreciated, particularly by myself. I find them fresh, light hearted, that's what life should be...,

    I do find that @Big Al can have a strange attitude at times. There really is nothing wrong with @Oswald T Wistle posting updates on Maisie in What’s Going On and I don’t see why it isn’t acceptable to post traffic info on the same thread. There are an awful lot of members on Nat Pres who photograph and take videos who appreciate the information.

    Varying rules? Read the rules about content needing to be thread relevant. There is, after all, a thread for cat stuff. Given that 'What's Going On' has massive traffic flow and contains key information that's at the core of why the Forum exists it hardly helps for additional stuff to appear.

    But that's fine. I'll remember that when we get yet another request to tidy up a thread because it has become cluttered. And your 1930 remark is not funny; it is offensive.

    I was just saving you from getting a warning over personal insults but don't worry I'll leave your spelling as is. ;)

    If there is a choice between Maisie antics and Big Al's utterances keep the feline updates going Young Whistle
