Well, its Boxing Day now and its a miserable wet and windy one down here in the far-Southwest. So, when having a browse through some other webistes/forums I frequent, most of them have been discussing the lack of trains here in the
UK▸ . Then I came across this post which made my day:
When trains ran in the Uk a retired rail man told me of a call he'd had on Christmas Day saying some horses where en route to Nafferton. He was panicking as there was no straw available for when they arrived. The stationmaster managed to find straw from a local farmer and did his best. When the vans arrived on the pickup goods, they opened the doors and discovered they were rocking horses.
