Just for fun. No prizes.  My effort: Lookout with the blue and white flag is shouting "Wave!" to the two guys on the footpath. One of them has misunderstood. |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

I can only quote this morning's Metro, alongside a slightly different picture: "The service is definitely suspended" - then repeated as "the damage to the track saw trains suspended between ... Exeter and Cornwall".

HOLE IN THE GROUND ( A Sea Song)
(Ted Dicks / Myles Rudge)
Bernard Cribbins - 1962.... I have updated it somewhat !
Verse 1 sung by sea
There I was, a-diggin' this 'ole
'Ole in the ground, so big and sort o' round it was
And there was I, diggin' it deep
It was flat at the bottom and the sides were steep
When along comes this bloke in an 'ard 'at
Which he lifted and scratched his 'ead
Woooh, he looked down the 'ole
Poor demented soul and he said
"Do you mind if I make a suggestion?
Don't dig there, dig it elsewhere
Your digging it round and it ought to be square
The shape of it's wrong, it's much too long
And you can't put hole where a hole don't belong"
I ask, what a liberty, eh?
Nearly bashed him right in the.... oo-er missus
Sung by a high viz jacket
Well, there was I, a-stood in me 'ole
Shovellin' earth for all that I was worth, I was
And there was 'im, standin' up there
So grand and official with his nose in the air
So I gave him a look sort of sideways
And I leaned on me shovel and sighed
Woooh, I lit me a fag....(elf n safety might not like that)
And havin' took a drag I replied
I just couldn't bear to dig it elsewhere
I'm diggin' it round 'cos I don't want it square
And if you disagree, it doesn't bother me
That's the place where the 'oles gonna be
Well there we were, discussing this 'ole
'Ole in the groud, so big and sort o' round
It's not there now, the cement's set, whack
And beneath it is the bloke in the 'ard 'ard 'at
And that's that!

That tamp last night was a bit too much, better order some extra stone for the stone blower
