Nice one Lynne. Here's a similar idea and I joke not. The 'Orange Army' did an astoundingly quick job puttig the railway back up and running and the Institution of Civil Engineerng was quite rightly proud of it. Have some fun watching the attached link of their latest promo 'Happy Video. It is completely London centric. Then ask yourself is there something similar Dawlish could put together ...
Joking aside, Tangmere did actually have a potentially serious accident last November 23rd at Winchfield on the way back to Waterloo from Weymouth.

The 'mermaid' (wot no tail?) is let's just say, ...well... it just looks like something fom the garden centre ...but oversized. Suggest you may actually get several hundred pounds for it down there. At best try putting ...
p.s. One corrolation is that the peers are unelected and seem to dazzle with being the most out of touch! - QED?
Just a little speculation - I would suggest that one thing possibly fuelling the issue is that something in the order of two thirds of seats are considered 'safe seats'. Consequently the majority of the electorate has little realistic chance of making their local MP truely accountable over expenses etc. I would be very interested to see a tabulated corrolation between worst excesses and ...
