Normans_Ghost Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Meldrew, We scruffy kids, in short trousers, and rolled down socks, looking just like William (except we lived on council estates) use to get the train from Clapton to Ware with our fishing nets and jars. Someone ALWAYS fell in and came home partly wet. If it was a sunny day we would lie on the grass drying him/me out. From what I remember/guess the whole day would have cost a bob. (Thats a shilling in old money, or 5p in new). I just can't believe my Mum would have given me more that a bob for the day and god help me if I asked for money the next day.

TomB Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Just thought of a backup plan incase Royal Mail dont deliver. If any one attending Normans garage party has a spare CRB &/or flywheel bolts, please could you bring them & Ill buy them off you. Finger crossed Postman Pat comes! If there are a few 7s around, we'd better make sure we get the right engine to take out!! Edited by - TomB on 11 Nov 2004 17:56:28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mav Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Soft drinks for me please Norm, I'm driving... Do you want me to bring anything with me? And what time are we supposed to arrive at yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Ok mav, I suggested to Tom that if he left home at 7 he could be here for 8:30. The earlier the better. I'm a great believer in getting started early and getting the job done and waste time afterwards. Gives you some problem time without having to run over. I'll get some soft drinks as well as some lager and beer. But no ones touching my 25 year old malt. Not without a donation to NtL HM's got a big fry up for lunch and I'll talk to her really nicely to make something for breakfast if we're having an early start. By the way, I go to within a few miles of Tom (Prenton) and it takes me 1.5 hours door to door as long as I don't hit too much traffic in Glossop.

Normans_Ghost Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I'm going to ask if anyone got the spec of the flywheel bolts on tech talk. I'll probably get some tomorrow if we need them.
