Yes, it's an oft forgotten fact that a lot of drivers who switched from Steam to diesel were glad of the fact that they could go to work in one set of clothes and come back from work in the same set!
Bangers, that's it!!

Oberon, have you ever had a chance to ride on any of the steam trains that still operate over there on short excursions? There aren't any close to where I live, sadly, would love to try it just once.

As for the Fish and Chips, if the fiish is as good as it looks, I want a piece at least 12 inches long, and a mountain of chips! Its now officially on my bucket list, to get to the UK and get the original Fish and Chips! Of course as long as it is going to take me to save up to get there, I might have to get a loan from the British Govt for the meal,lol

You yanks had better be careful. Before long, they'll be replacing your color TVs with colour TVs!

Fish and Chips, the most popular dish for decades in the UK but beaten into second place by Chicken Tikka Masala in recent years and even that has been topped now by Chinese Stir-Fry apparently:

Second place Jim? That's not very nice now is it, its a famous British tradition. Oh well, when I finally get to the UK, after I get the Fish and Chips, I'm going Bird watching. I hear you have some great looking Birds over there!

Indeed, I've been lucky enough to ride on quite a few of the Steam railways here. Was up north on one during my honeymoon in fact, I'm lucky enough to have a wife who also quite enjoys steam railways.
Lovely scenery too!

Was a lovely day out, rained for most of it, but it's Yorkshire so it was to be expected. Gave an insight in to how quickly the water comes up, there was a river near Goathland station that was quite the raging torrent, the noise was competing with the steam engines!
