That is not grahame: I know, because the front shirt tails are tucked into the waistband.  Graham never does that.  Grin

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.

There were a couple of inaccuracies. I asked Lisa who's behind it to replace one of the train toys with a bus toy ... and she also found  a naturally out shirt, having appreciated the earlier error -https://grahamellis.uk/blog1565.html
