Title: Just laughed out loud!
Post by: emjaybee on November 09, 2019, 11:45:14 AM
You know all those emails you get from model shops etc...

"New 'XYZ' now available"

"Price reduction, sale on ABC"

Somewhere on the email you usually find "Visit us", followed by the address.

Well, today I got an update from Peedie Models, my first, as I've only just subscribed (mainly due to them hopefully having something in the pipeline that I REALLY want), and sure enough, down the bottom there's a little bit that says...

"Visit us."

...and then I spot the address...

...Orkney!

Spat my coffee everywhere.

I bet he gets cheesed off with everyone beating a path to his door.

;D

There's a cute little RhB model in a window on Stromness high street, but it turns out Peedie Models is somewhere else that I didn't visit.

Not neolithic enough. ;)
