aye I`d go for ban the txt spk evrywhere (is that spelt right)
since this seems like a kinda soap box thread, can I let a little loose for a moment ........
no answer?, ok good then here goes.......
Whats really getting up my nose at the moment (and for the opposite reasons as it may first seem) is all the smiles, cheers and encouragement for the new steamtrain the Tornado. Don't get me wrong, I`m an engineer and I think it`s a wonderful project (if you have the time and money) no probs there, and it's been done to a high degree of quality by the looks of it, so , well done.
What gets me is the same people that are hailing this a a fantastic nostalgic memorable step by humanity are the same ones that tell me I cant buy a lightbulb for my ageing sight impaired mother unless it`'s 40 watt and energy saving, the same people that say you cant drive your car unless the emissions are down to an xxx.xxx value, the same people that say you cant leave your TV on standby because of the waste of energy ....................... but , cover the countryside in coal dust,smoke and whateverelse burns in the inefficient engine of a steamtrain pulling tons of tons of weighted steel around and it's fine ..... well, is it?
