grahame, I'm learning something new every day on this forum.  Smiley

Cynthia, may I just say that I echo that particular sentiment! Shocked Roll Eyes Grin

I would also like to gently qualify my previous suggestion that any walk from Bristol Temple Meads to Redcliffe Hill would be achievable in five minutes.  It will probably be more like ten minutes - but my suggestion of a stop en route to investigate the wonders of St Mary Redcliffe church would still be worthwhile, and there is obviously seating within that building, if required.  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

To Chris from Nailsea:

I find it very encouraging to read that you, as a hero member of this forum are still learning new things.  I must say I'm finding many of the posts make very interesting reading; or is that a symptom of me needing to get out more!?

Thanks, Cynthia! Wink

The term 'hero member' is merely assigned to me by our forum software as someone who has posted a certain number of times: other epithets have been given to me by some of our members on a rather more scientific basis.  Tongue Roll Eyes Grin

Chris from Nailsea: after a couple of Christmas Eve glasses of wine I can't even pronounce epithets, let alone know what they are!  Oh, go on, you know you want to tell!

From google:

Quote
epithet - noun
an adjective or phrase expressing a quality or attribute regarded as characteristic of the person or thing mentioned.

'Pedantic' is just one of them, in my case.  Embarrassed

Oh, better watch what I say then.... Anyway, takes all sorts to make a world.  One could not have an interesting exchange of ideas if all thoughts ran along the same track.  Oh, that was a bit cheesy, on this site..... Cheesy
