Thanks for the nice feedback, gents  I'm thinking of investing in an SLR as I have noticed that the quality when the pics are at full size has slipped ever so slightly...
Stephen, I didn't notice that until I looked at the pictures! I think it was to clean and degrease the frames and motion, but as to what the content actually is beats me 
Andrew Neish has sent me some very nice pics from the Sunday, including someone very familiar!
Making myself comfortable, no suspension and a hangover from the previous night (although I didn't tell you that) didn't help.
Sharing a joke whilst bird watching with one of the Bredgar Boys'.
I've also just received the 'gate figures' for the event; 477 for the Saturday (just under 200 down on last year, no doubt due to the weather) and 629 (about the same as last year) so not all bad!

You've used trhe word degrease and judging by the colour it's probably degreaser.
I had an incident last week that involved green tinted degreaser, this is because one of the drivers put steam oil in the degreaser tin and didn't empty it out. Trying to degrease the shed floor with steam oil doesn't work....

Honestly - you just can't get the staff these days!
I remember an incident in the early WHR days when some 'bright spark' put diesel in the gearbox instead of the fuel tank! The cogs got a good clean!
