We had coffee together and I brought one back 4 DR,

I do empathize: I remember retrieving his empty coffee cups from under DR's wheelchair for him at the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) CRP▸ (Community Rail Partnership) meeting in Barnstaple last year.  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.
