7mm Pencarrow - Cornish BR(S)

[Pencarrow]

I thank you.......there will be more questions........

You'll need to send more beer then.

My little book gave me all the info for all angles of roof. Only ever had one problem with it, one apprentice could not multiply or divide by 10's and 100's. I nearly jumped off the scaffolding when he told me, if he wanted to be a mathematician he'd of stayed at school.

I had a similar issue with someone a while back that didn't know the difference between inches and cm and thought they were the same....

I'm Welsh, not Finnish !!

If you were really Welsh you'd live in Wales like Sheep Bloke. I can forgive Cornwall though. Nice down there.

Maybe he's older than he looks, the Anglo Saxons called Cornwall, West Wales.

We do a good line in exports. One thing that doesn't export well is the language. Anyone outside Wales really struggles. It's the main reason I called Sheep Dip, Sheep Dip. I did think about giving it a Welsh name
I thought of Little Sheep, Big Sheep..etc..etc......The main stumbling block was the Welsh for Sheep being Defaid. ( DEV-EYED ) I had visions of strangling the umpteenth visitor to an exhibition either demonstrating his prowess with Welsh or asking the question ' Why is the layout called Deaf Aid ? ' .........I could only resist the temptation to respond with 'What!' for so long before sarcasm would give way to a hard stare..........

Don't know why I'm liking that! The person asking that question was probably me......

I tried a welsh name when I rebuilt an earlier layout called The Field (part of Hockley Goods Station) into a new layout as part of a small colliery in Wales. It was called Y Cae. Lots of fun with the punters and the Welsh language police.

Surely the answer to why the layout is called 'Deaf Aid' would be 'Eh?'

Sorry?

I don't know, you turn your back for 5mins and the Welsh start marauding.

If you don't behave I'll post tile by tile progress updates.

You watch out or we'll start singing as well...

...to quote Flanders and Swann "Far too loud, far too often ....... and flat".

Don't mean it. Along with Yorkshire Silver Bands (and some on Lancashire) some of the most joyous music.

Only to find when you're laying the last slate you've missed one early on. At least it can be disguised a slipped slate

That's handy. They've come pre-cut to the right size for the tiles.

Plonk 'em straight on.

Hi Chris
When I first read 'Red Cross' kit I assumed a first aide kit to fix the finger ends.

30 sheets in all. 10 of each 15thou, 30thou and 40thou. Quite a hefty package!

All to be cut into 10mm square roofing slates?
