    Had a visit to 'Cadbury World' at Bournville today with SWMBO, Daughter and Granddaughter. I'm teetotal and don't smoke, but friends and family know me as an ardent 'chocaholic' (well, I'm surely allowed one 'vice'!) so going there was (almost) as pleasurable as visiting the NRM to me. Walking towards the reception area, I came across this industrial loco, one of the now redundant works loco's from time past, but I thought some of you might like to see a pic, so here it is. As we were about to leave, SWMBO took a tumble down some steps, and we ended up in the 'First Aid room', but fortunately, although a little bruised and grazed, She's still sound in wind and limb with nothing broken, so the day ended well (with plenty of chocolate too!)

    Looks like the loco could do with a little TLC.

    Probably could do with a wrapper of purple tin foil, I'm sure someone inside could find some, and if not you could always offer to empty some packets to free up the foil.

    nice pic, and good to hear the boss will heal, see it's safer to visit Hattons than Cadbury's :avatar:

    Nice pic Keith. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    I can see right through Mrs M's ploy. She just wants to lie in bed and have you feed her chocolates... :giggle:

    Hope she is feeling better.

    Cheers, Gary.
