New platform at Blake Hall?
 

... and said, 'Who the f**k are you?'

Are you male or female

Definitely a very funny comment, Basil.

I finally took a trip on the Epping-Ongar Railway today. All in all quite a
pleasant experience.

When passing the old Blake Hall station I noticed there seemed to be a new
short platform in place - is the EOR planning to reactivate the station, is
the owner of the building after a private halt or is this just decoration?

The house owner also happens to be the owner of the whole EOR (did you
notice some of his vintage LT buses parked nearby?), so I guess he's free
to have his own private station on his train set.


It must be nice to have your own station. Do you still have to tap in and tap out?

This also reminds me of some apartment buildings where one or two
residents might have access to the lift, literally within their own flat.

Lots of CEOs have private lifts from their underground car parks so they
can avoid meeting not just the public, but even their own minions on the
way up to the executive suite.

On a related note, I'm always intrigued by hotel lifts with non-stop
floors, such as the mysterious fifth floor of the Yanggakdo hotel in
Pyongyang.

The ones that I have seen did not belong to a CEO. It was simply a
private flat, in which the entrance to the lift was actually in the
residence.

And then there were the famous lavatories at London Transport (55
Broadway) for the three sexes ... Men, Women and Officers.

When in Norway, we saw a Church in the middle of a field. Nearby was a
hut with three labelled doors, which were translated to me as indicating
Ladies, Gentlemen, and Clergy.

Perhaps not in Norway, but in some countries, that might have been 'priests
and children'.

Put the Clergy door in the middle and it can double as a confessional.

Do Lutherans have confessionals?

With a name like Basil Jet, I'd say you had more right to be there than
him.

My real name is Percy Porcelain.

Then I think I see your point.
