Guard under fire.

They certainly have. But there's a lot more paint to go. Then there will be the next 120, before erecting the damn things.

I've a week off from them (both the palings and Wailing Wall)

Olly - can I just hijack your thread. I was out on BS2 Thursday and we needed a sign THIS IS NOT A GALA

On duty today was

7812 on BN1 the blood & custards.
34053 on BS1 LNER teaks
4566 on BS2 LMS
1450 + W238 on a supreme footplate experience
43106 on a saloon charter

Just a normal table B weekday really

 

Readers may wish to know that Olly5764 survived his two days with me, acquitting himself well on shovel, regulator and brake. Fortunately, I didn't have to label anything, although to judge by the quality of some of the stuff we shovelled on Thursday afternoon, and what it did to the fire, "This is not coal," would have been a completely appropriate notice!

 

From the efluvia round waterworks on Monday a sign "This is not mud on road" would have been apropriate

 

"Effluvia." Is that a polite word for sh1t?

 

The smell of said substance

 

Thanks JTX, once it finally decided to burn though, by hell did it go! The down side to Welsh Coal with a pile of slack in the centre of the bunker.
