Can anybody spot the deliberate mistake on the headboard?

[Kevin Wilson-Smith]

Yes! Straight off.

Hint - Steve A should too!

[M. Hardy-Randall]

Sorry John,

Having a very senior [75 and holding] moment, can you please explain.

Malcolm

[Kevin Wilson-Smith]

Wait for it - patience! Or see your private message!

[John Ashworth]

We'll give a few more people a chance and then I'll relieve you of your suspense, Malcolm! I'm not even sure how the headboard got there - we found it on the front of the engine when we booked on this morning so we just went with it.

"Deliberate" is meant to be ironic, incidentally!

Smile,
The headboard predates our "new" website. But you will get there via the advertised URL though!

[John Ashworth]

There we are, Steve has revealed all - the headboard features our old address, http://www.friendsoftherail.co.za, rather than the new one, http://www.friendsoftherail.com

But as Steve says, the old one still redirects to the new one.

The dreaded headboard was still on the loco when this photo was taken by John Ashworth at Cullinan on 6th September 2008.

A good illustration of how quickly address, names can get out-of date.

At least the board is eye catching!!
