Ok I'll throw in this clue, not very far away from the skylarking sign, hid well away out of sight and buried in the undergrowth if you know where to look hides away this amazing secret railwayhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/sets/7 ... detail/You can literally walk right past this place and never know it existed, I know thousands have!A very British conspiracy sir?

Bit of a toughy that phill. No idea, and it's the sort of thing I'd look out for.Are we town centre, (google) miles x from Town Hall?(psI have to declare an unfair advantage on 'Hobo Jungle' because I was a 'Feral' child in Bracken Woods, gradually increasing my territory to Gledhow Valley Woods. Only by cover of darkness in the late '70's did I break cover for the Nags and food + drink).

The "Dialect/Slang" thread should be listed.It's 43 pages long, so happy reading and reminiscing!Phill - don't know where the skylarking sign is, but reminded me of the "No Petting" signs that used to be in swimming baths!
