Whittlesmarch was nice - there were some cracking small layouts and dioramas. Euxton Jcn looked very good with the wires, but we visited during a lull in operations and didn’t see much running.

I enjoyed it too. What was your favourite layout? I think Dawlish Warren held my attention the longest, but plenty of others were inspiring to see. I could have spent a fortune but managed to only spend money on door and drink!

I’m still on Mastodon, but I still don’t really “get it”! All those different servers/areas, it’s all a bit weird and I don’t have the time to work it all out. A lot of the people there seem to be computer/network experts, but I’m just a casual user.

I do miss the Twitter model railway community, but could not bear the rest of it. I do wonder what Twitter is like these days - the adverts and….opinion pieces…must be off the charts these days!

I kept it for the same reason, until I started receiving those emails along the lines of “We have compromising pictures of you and will share them with all of your Facebook contacts”. They didn’t, they couldn’t, but I decided enough was enough. No Facebook for me for 8 yrs. not missed it at all!

And that story is why I could never do your job, so chapeau for surviving the shift. Even if I could master the rules, shifts and language challenges, it’s the confrontational nature of some situations that would put me off.
Hoping your next journey is more “mellow” than “merde”!
