Title: We'll meet again, don't know where don't know when [DotD 01.04.20] Post by: grahame on April 01, 2020, 06:08:15 Every year, I've posted tongue in cheek stories on 1st April for a bit of fun - "fake news" if you like, even if things like SEWWEB (http://www.sewweb.info) could actually come true (just wait on that one - an idea before its time).
This year, though, a picture - a real one, no funny business. And I look forward to travelling past where this was taken, and meeting up once again with many members, before next April 1st. Stay safe, everyone (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/paddy.png) Title: Re: We'll meet again, don't know where don't know when [DotD 01.04.20] Post by: infoman on April 01, 2020, 06:35:06 Grahame,where is that Paddington bear?

Paddington ;D ;D I suspect he too may have been on tour when I took the picture which dates from autumn 2018; on the walkway from Paddington main station past Paddington Basin towards the hotel and office complex up there. On my way to the GWR Stakeholder's meeting.

Now a distant memory ...
