Reminds me, when I first visited my allotted depot (after passing the Rules test and awaiting a Traction course) I popped into the Mess room and sat in a comfy looking chair. Suddenly there was a cheery chorus of "You can't sit there, that's the Depot Cat's chair". Not wishing to get a bad reputation I sprang out and picked another chair.
It was only some time later that I discovered that they were actually talking about a driver. Railway cats are reknowned for being very large and never wanting to do do any work - and there are some drivers who are the same.
In fact at all 3 depots I've worked that title has been awarded to someone.
Just sitting here reminiscing.
