Right then

Work is dull. Nothing particularly good or bad. They're pushing overtime like it's going out of fashion because apparently, they're down 450hrs on the day tomorrow, chuckles. Wonder who screwed up that forecasting then?

I need to visit Worsbrough (spelt that wrong, I'm sure) Motor Spares in Stairfoot (why's it called Worsbrough Motor Spares when it's in Stairfoot I don't know) to try and pick up some brake pads and shoes for the car, 'cuz I meant to do it on the way home but forgot. I'm a silly Phil.

Just back from the pool at Living Well. Perfect way to cool off after a damn hot day.

This disjointed entry brought to you by tiredness and boredness.

It's spelt 'Worsborough', but you don't want to know why I know that :-)

It is slightly worrying that you know that. And besides - that's definitely not how it's pronounced ;)

The only reason I can possibly think of for you knowing that, is that there's a train line runs through/past/near it.

The line closed in 1981, but it used to be the formidable 1 in 40 Worsborough bank that loaded coal trains used to have to slog up on their way to Manchester via Penistone. It was rather famous in railway circles.

Ahhhhhh. Must say that 1 in 40 doesn't *sound* that bad, but I imagine the scale of slopes is slightly different on train wheels.

Actually, anything steeper than 1 in 100 is steep for trains.

Eek! In that case, that's really really impressive :)
