Yeah - my sister lives in Broadway and her local Tesco and Asda had the chillers pack up.
Typical UK, whatever the weather we're just not up to the job. Now it's too hot to run trains on the real thing

It's not the only supermarket like that, my local tescoes were forced by the planning authority to put the radiators in the warehouse yard, which is U shaped and faces south, with predictable results every summer.

Love Grease! Me and wifey watched the Sing-along version some years ago when it came to theaters.  We dressed up in period costumes.  Super fun!

I am surprised that you didn't mention Seawind @kusojiji , another band from Hawaii. I had two of their albums on vinyl but not on CD. The Seawind Horn section popped up on all sorts of albums including Michael Jackson. "Light the Light" is highly recommended, here is a taster...



I like Kalapana.

Quite how Leeds' Middleton Railway got coal to the Isle of Sodor for use on the Skarloey Railway, or how a wooden bodied coal wagon stayed in use until the 1980s I don't know, but both happened...

OO9 just for fun, N gauge version will end up running to Warmington On Sea with my Dad's Army wagons.

I wrote an old-school braggadocio-style rap for my beloved a few years back: both serious and silly... and incorporated a bit of Bajan phrasing to personalize it.

Now that I've discovered my new favorite toy...  

Speaking of Kalapana. I think this is the only one with no lyrics. I remember seeing the 8-track tape in my cousin's car.

And one of the most iconic (in Hawaii). I think everybody of my era knows this song by heart. Many slow dances and probably babies came out of this.
