I know what you mean, the Sheffield Tap is not in the Valley of Beer but who can resist the delights of Thornbridge (MILD drinkers excepted of course). It'll just be the one in there to settle the dust then off up to the Hillsboro' by tram and a long slow crawl down the Valley. I bet I'll end up in the Tap and miss my train due to Jaipur poisoning . I may have to rethink the route from the Wellie to the KIT if I need to include the Gardeners Rest - too many pubs; too little time.

Now that's what I call sacrilege
Not as bad as it sounds, I collected car numbers, not trains. Somehow the SR didn't have catchet of the others. I collect art on my computer, got a screen saver that shows over 4000 images randomly at about 20 seconds a shot and I love railway paintings, they take me back. Something else for the 'time-travel' thread. Bet you can't guess my favourite loco. Gon on 'ob', give it a shot. Two clues, it's Southern and it ain't a 4-6-2.
That takes me back, well, the calling the police bit does. Often declaimed by Stationmaster Jack Northrop. He never did, he never meant it anyhow............lads... Bring on the Beast..........

Pubs are a hobby, real ale is a passion. Oh, and like me dogs, fear no evil..........
