! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
A passenger sevice between Ebbw Vale and Cardiff has been restored for the first time in 46 years.
The line has been used by freight trains but to make it suitable for passenger trains 18 miles of track had to be refitted at a cost of …
£35,000,000
Count the zeroes, that’s 35 million pounds for an 18 mile stretch of track.

I think we are getting similiar things like that up here, old wee lines that Beeching killed being re-opened at horrendous cost
At horrendous cost to the English tax payer, Axel.

Ivor The Engine was one of my favourite programmes as a boy. If that is a figurine, rather than an illustration, I want one.
i know, i know 🙁
Gruff,
It’s a figurine – they’re available to buy here.
I used to love Ivor the Engine too.
Parly Party!
Have you seen what our illustrious leader has done?
Said pass the budget or I quit and 60 of them, Labour, Liberal, Green, abstained :O
If i did not know better, i think we will ‘ask’ for independence before we are ‘offered’ it!
Jings, I wonder what colour my new passport will be?
