Some favourite old Genesis songs (not the pop rubbish they churned out later)

I also really hope the Beeb broadcasts this event...........

Now, now, you old knacker. That's not good for your ticker

The video features Eddie, a native of these parts, pronouncing 'Gateshead':-


Fascinating stuff.

With all good wishes.

You know what they say.

There are only two certainties in life. Death and Nurses. Oh sorry, I meant Taxes.

Get well soon George @Bealman

Quote from: GScaleBruce on April 15, 2026, 12:27:59 PMJust arrived, the Gaugemaster Collection/Dapol 33 012 with its distinctive livery.

I didn't even know about these specials. Oh my. Do I buy another Peak or do I get this? Decisions.... 

I wish they'd done 33012 as D6515 in current preserved guise though. Beautifully turned out machine.

Well George,

It dependeth from whence one doth come - North Bank, South Bank, Up the River, Down the River (and which River ) ... certainly I think some might use a "heed" rather than a hud".

And I will admit that overall it was a rather poor attempt to provide a pronunciation guide however one is not fully au fait with diacritics as used by linguists... (cunning or not...) ,

Cheersm

Colin.

So that's how Gateshead is really spelt!
