I put it out with the recycling but the bin men wouldn't take it, so I've got to take it down the tip before they close at 5.

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.

Please hold tight whilst we attach our Shell buffet car serving KitKat chunky, Ginsters pasties, and Marlboro Lites. For those who like good coffee, I regret to announce that the Costa vending machine is working today.
