As usual, one guess each until I say otherwise. Incorrect guess and I'll let you go again.  Wink

Totally random, hither and thither and not all in FGW▸ (First Great Western) land.

8. Taunton.  There: I've said it.  Roll Eyes
Logged
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.

Note to 'dayranger57' - I moved your post to our moderators area (that is, out of public view) temporarily: the generally accepted rule in these quiz topics is that only one 'guess' per member is allowed for the first 24 hours.

To be fair, bignosemac did state that, in his original post: it's to avoid spoiling the fun for others - at least to start with!
