More Trouble in Paignton

Yesterday the problem was the level crossing in Paignton. Today the problem was just across the road from the crossing. If you look on yesterdays photo you can see a KFC. To the left of KFC there is a pub called Winstons and a truck delivering beer there broke down. An other truck turned up to transfer passengers, sorry beer barrels and Paignton once more came to a dead slow crawl. And the sun had just come out after a wet and miserable morning.




This photo shows where a bus shelter used to stand in the Town Square, Brixham. A large lorry managed somehow to reverse into it and make a right mess. The shelter was a bit old so at least the good people of Brixham will get a brand spanking new shelter complete with no smoking sign to stand in while they wait for the 17 and 24. The rhino you can see was born earlier this year in the world famous Paignton Zoo and had nothing to do with knocking the shelter down; neither did I.

Talking of the weather, I have just had a look at the forecast for the next 5 days here in the Bay, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are forecast sunny. Sunday it is going to rain. Guess which day I have off.

Aussie says check the spelling of your photo. Nullarbor is the correct spelling. The Nullarbor Plain goes from Norseman in WA to Ceduna in SA. Distance is 1200 kilometres.To get to Ceduna from Adelaide is a twelve hour bus trip. www.nullarbornet.com.au has some good photos and maps if you are interested. nullarbor means "no trees".

Sorry Aussie, for someone who has been over Nullabor twice that was a careless mistake.

Never mind lorries getting in the way, you ought to be worried about that Rhino charging down the pavement (yes I know its only a poster for Paignton Zoo really but it amused me!)
