Step by Step


Ok Mr. O'Reilly has the boot I said I wanted steps both ends 3 feet wide what did he build one 3 meters wide! I managed to hoof him off site before he started the second end, who said he was cheap? Now Bodgit frigit and scarper have finished this afternoon all I require now is a risk assessment from Linda.






I can see Bodgit and Frigit but where is Scarper?

Sloppy lot my maintenance crew


I just checked my maintenance staffs employment contact, there is a paragraph and I quote “trackside maintenance crew will maintain the track bed free of weed and overgrown shrubbery, this duty will be carried out every 8 weeks” clearly this is not happening!

I had to do something to liven up my programming track.
