Yes that is a fact you know, life in the 50s and 60s was done at a lot slower pace than today, everybody is in so much of a hurry today, I mean take me for instance, these days I go "Slow line" every day, I am built for comfort not speed :D

Many moons a go I visited tangiers and decided to take a trip on a train a friend I was with who spoke the lingo asked at the station when the next train was due and he replied maybe today maybe tomorrow the clock in the station also had no hands. No hurry here

"Oh yes" mate, that is brilliant.Thanks for putting it on.

Just put a pic on taken at Llandudno victorian weekend

Several years ago when walking to Southampton Maritime a lorry stopped and the driver asked did I want a lift into the Docks. I accepted and got into his lovely Renault Cab floating seat, smart music centre, fantastic comfort; the height of luxury. Which I complimented to the driver. The lorry driver asked me what the 66 locomotives were like and ventured the opinion they must be really smart as well. When we arrived in the terminal I showed him around my 66. He was amazed at what a pile of rubbish our working conditions were!

Hows this for old fashioned craneage!

If it's a "MORRIS" Crane, I served my apprenticeship where that was built! Happy Days! (NOT!):rolleyes:

I see there are still water cranes and water tower there,
Only needs some steam to use them.
