My gramma used to deride anyone who made her a cup of tea that wasn't strong enough to render the tea spoon a light brown colour. "For God sake, boy! Put the bag in the boiling water. Don't just show it to the mug from the other end of the kitchen". Or, after visiting someone, "That woman, I swear she's still using the same tea bag as when I last took tea with her, five years ago." 😅

Poor Linda! Ex Railway guy here. Unfortunately "Leaves on the line" is a railway shortcut phrase, you see when wet leaves fall on the railway lines, and trains roll over them, under the pressure, the leaves get converted into a really excellent lubricant, so the trains lose traction, making it hard to go, and hard to STOP which is very dangerous.

The only problem with that is that metres and yards are not the same length. A yard is 3 feet. A metre is 3' 4", so 2 metres is 6' 8", and 3 metres is 10 feet, meaning that three metres is 3 and 1/3 yards. 24 metres is therefore 26 yards and two feet. 25 metres then, is 27 yards, two feet and four inches.

@johnevans2044

Other people have already pointed out here that leaves on the line can be dangerous for train operation because they reduce the effectiveness of braking - which can lead (and has lead) to accidents. There is also a longer term, costly, condequence. If a train slides on the slippery leaf mush when it brakes, the wheels can be ground flatter at the sliding contact point. It's not a good idea for a train to have wheels that are not properly round - it causes rough riding, wear on the bogies, and wear on the track. So the train operators eventually have to replace the worn sets of wheels with new (round!) ones at great expense. If enough trains are affected this way in a short time then there may not be enough new wheel sets available, so trains waiting for repair have to be temporarily taken out of service. The resulting shortage of rolling stock means a worse service for travellers!
@EwanMarshall
@EwanMarshall Ай бұрын
It is worse than that, there is a chemical in the leaves that with the friction and crushing pressure of the train reacts with the iron in the steel rail/wheels that creates a teflon like non-stick surface. Worse than ice for train braking.
@wessexdruid7598
@wessexdruid7598 Ай бұрын
Before they replace the wheels, they can be turned, on a wheel lathe. This doesn't require dismantling - the train is run over the lathe, turning one axle set at a time and cutting them circular again (but smaller).

But I don't think the maintainers of the class 313 trains I used regularly in the 1980s and 1990s when leaf fall started to become a real problem on the Great Northern loop for the first time, had that luxury. I remember the train operators saying that there were cancellations because of a shortage of rolling stock - trains with messed up wheels that couldn't be fixed because they didn't have enough spares and had to wait for more to be manufactured.

I think the Tesco thing is where they bought up old market halls initially in villages/towns, so already had the clock towers. But some have been purpose built as supermarkets since and they get easier planning permission for a more 'in keeping with the area' building than if were to propose a boring block building. So I've heard...

No seriously, "H- Honey I'm Home" was absolutely fantastic. It was written by a team largely made up of people who were actually Jewish. It was a fantastic take on how Americans would watch any garbage so long as it was a sitcom. It parodied the style of 50s and 60s sitcoms like "I Love Lucy" by casting Hitler as an everyman living in New York and everything about it was perfectly satirical. I watched the only episode that was aired and I laughed so hard even during the opening credits - the theme song was so funny. It was cancelled because people objected to it even though it was written by the very people that were supposed to be the offended demographics. It was really an excellent premise and had great comedy. It was Pythonesque and sadly people did not get it. Supposedly other episodes were recorded but never aired and are lost. Would be great to watch it now.

The leaves on the line thing is a necessary risk not worth taking, because trains crush them and the residue left over affects a train's ability to brake and stop.

Yes, I have actually seen a postie in trousers! He used to deliver our parcels in work wearing shorts, so all us girls as a joke, whistle at him and sing something like You Can Leave Your Hat On. Then one day he came in wearing trousers. This was back in the days where you could actually get away with jokes like that. He was a grumpy git, though.

There was a great UK Meme compilation out that I watched a good while ago - with 2 US reactors reacting to it, Alanna - sadly though, all I can tell you about it best now, is that in it, one of them had a lad bungee jumping from a helicopter with a biscuit in his hand - trying to dip it in a cuppa far below . . . he did it, but I can't say if it was managed in only 1 lucky take or many?

we have a Canadian Postie in my area, she's been here 22 years. I have only seen her not wear shorts once, in a massive cold snap where the snow was hip deep in places. honestly was shocked to see her out on that day, lord knows how the hell she got the van to our small country village with un cleared roads.

Ex-Postie here, the vans tend to be pretty warm (no functional A/C, the cold still blows moderately warm). That means that, when its hot you want shorts. When it rains, you want shorts because legs dry quickly. When its cold, you want shorts because the van will still be roasting and the walking keeps you warm. Also you want a sort of medium off-grey cargo shorts because the seats are absolutely filthy (I seriously don't know how they get so bad), and you need pockets for the red cards, pens, and if keys if you're doing post-box collections.

So funny - all of it, but the treacle resonated especially. One day I found a mysterious black substance dripping down from the back of one kitchen shelf to the next. I was terrified to look, and had to pluck up courage for nearly a week to investigate. I don’t know how I felt when it turned out to be my 11year old tin of treacle which had sprung a leak!
