O.K. I knew I was addicted but this morning, as I walked out of the dentists, I looked down at the cast iron drain cover and noted it was made in Puddletown, Dorset. My immediate thought? I wonder if my James Shackleton ever moved from Southampton to work in that Iron foundry. How bad have I got it. Repeat after me 'BAD'

I did exactly that on the tube going to the meet on Saturday! Most of my ancestors were technically on the Victoria Line between Kings Cross and Pimlico! The rest were around the FRC! Daisy

Daisy, I think you'll find that if their name was Camell they also built the underground trains!

You can do it, I gave up chocolate for lent last year and stayed clean for ten months, until someone bought me some for Christmas.
