It shows how long it's been since I was last there. The old town was already being dismantled piece by piece. You may find this hard to believe but there was once railway running right through Little Lever. Soon after the line was closed BR dynamited the bridges to prevent it ever being reopened and then they have the nerve to complain about vandals!
Is there a polite name for a lady who comes from Horwich?

So it was! And Blackburn is still in Lancashire.

Not that it means much but I went to school in Blackburn and college in Bolton. Just thought I?d try to contribute a little to the discussion on this important model rail related topic. :-)

That's the first time I've ever heard anyone suggesting Microsoft have produced something worth using - since 'Word' that is, and didn't they buy that in from someone else?
John.
Yes, it's very trendy to bash Microsoft.and easy to pick fault with things that go wrong, but the silent majority are quite happy using their products despite the fact that there ARE alternatives. My job includes evaluating software, and despite the cost implications, I still can't finda valid reason to dump Word, Excel, Accss, Visual Studio, SQLServer, not to mention Windows XP (Vista can wait though).
Admitting you like a Microsoft product in public seems to be about as socially unacceptable as standing in a crowded room and saying "My name's Adrian and I'm a Railway Enthusiast".

That just about sums up my position too. Never had any problems, so never felt the need to switch away.
John.
I would have said the same until I tried Ubuntu Linux (never having even seen Linux before) simply to try out an accounts/stock control package. I and my bsusiness are now Linux only (or will be, when the data is transferred out of my Risc-OS package and validated). I still have to have XP to run Templot under Wine though (NOT a complaint Martin!).
Nah! Admitting one is a train nut attracts a certain amount of sympathy!

Now they've been caught with their pants down concerning the Xbox 360.
But its a lot older, the view of my workplace shows it as it was 3 years ago. The buildings have been demolished and new ones built since then! At lease maps.google.com are only a year out of date .......

Some photographs in
John.
I think it depends on the area of the country. My own house is a very nice clean picture but is several years old. Image copyright says 2007, but the picture is possibly last century, since I can see the blue plastic sheet covering the roof of the workshop which was replaced with a new roof in 2000!
Some Google Maps are at least seven years out of date. Adelaide Freight Depot, Belfast. last seen a freight train around 2000. But the image suggests that it still receives regular freight. My own location, still shows the builders compound across from the front of my house. That image is at least two to three years old.

Yup, on Google my house appears to be re-photographed every 6 months or so and has been since it started.
So you're suspect(?)

She's a very friendly goat - I'll go check the chain.
