Back in 1963 I was a 1st year Railways Dep't apprentice, and they ran a tight ship too. If they told you to march, you asked how far and which direction, Sir. :wink:
They took no lip then... if you didn't like it you could pi$$ off. :lol:

When marching, if you want to slack off, you make sure you're in the middle rank..

So all the bad apprentices are in the middle.

Probably be the sucker that volunteered to carry the battery pack so it light up like a wolosley'ghost light'...

I kinda like the big bull logo on the tiled entrance door to one of the finishing shops behind the row of Lancers or what ever they are. Wonder what happened to that giant facade?
