I have rejoined just to ask this question.

[hathorisaskingaquestion]

Why are some members of this site allowed to get away with persistently being vile, pushing an agenda, defending the indefensible, upsetting other members, twisting versions of events and generally being nasty, and they do not get banned?

Not about any one particular poster, but I have noticed that some stronger "personalities" on here seem to be Teflon coated.

Why is this?

Why do the owners of this site want that kind of vile poster and do not seem to care about the number of truly decent kind posters who are being upset and driven off the site?

I KNEW it.

The trains I go on (the mainline bristol - London jobbies, incidentally the most expensive train line to travel on in the whole of europe including switzerland, the robbing bastards) the trolleys only go in first class. And most days there is an announcement on the tannoy saying 'there is no trolley today, first class passengers please come to the buffet to collect your complimentary beverages' and it cheers me up enormously.

4 grand for those trolleys!

ROBBERS.

Mooncup salesmen Tufty, but they only work in pairs.

they could make one of those trolleys on 'ScrapHeap Challenge' for the sheer love of it

The Orient Express used to go along the back of my garden. The first time it happened I stood there all excited waving like an idiot. Then it carried on staying there. And staying there. I got a bit bored and rigid of the mouth. The people on the train. Ditto. It all got a bit embarrassing. I had to slink off. It turned out that the train refuelled and restocked at the station behind my garden. I know now. But I don't live there anymore.

I don't know why they don't just get a load of hostess trolleys from Argos. They must sell them.

I accidentially asked a gentleman to move his jacket from a seat today. He gave me a condescending smile and started to fold it ever so just the right way for it not to crease. Then. I realised I was in first class. I smiled at him just so and moved on. And on a bit more until I found someone hiding a seat under a bag.

gawd yes TSC I remember that, tres odd

That's good idea 24hour. Or, I bet we could knock one up.

I reckon those trolleys must be under some inane PFI scheme that the train operator has signed up to until 2030 or something.

So they could go to trolleys.com and buy one for £200 but are tied into a contract with one company only and have to pay their artificially inflated prices.

TSC she posted where you live?

There must be a few old hostess trolleys knocking about in age concern shops they could use.

Who sounds like a trainspotter now

I have a hostess trolley.

I would love an hostess trolley and a globe drinks cabinet thingie.

I thought a skateboard on a bit of string may do the job. Or, a little cupboard on castors? It's not even the train company running it. it's a former employee of the train company's buffet service that was made redundant when the stopped the trolley service so you'd think they wouldn't pay £4,000 on a trolley needlessly.

I actually luff my hostess trolley

I've cooked for hordes thanks to it

my first love's mum had a hostess trolley and his dad always had 2 bottles of wine, one for him and one for the plebs - the rest of us inc his wife

but Hathor what do you do with it?

My Grandpa had a globe drinks cabinet. It was very lovely.

cook for almost 100

All by myself.

Everything home made

I miss my aga

Those globe drinks cabinets makes me think of the bit in Pink Panther when Inspector Clousseau leans on the thing and the whole thing swivels and smashes all the bottles inside and he just gives it a look and leaves it.

I remember watching that when I was about 8 and laughing for ages.

They should just make those huffer puffers in first class get up and WALK to the buffet like the rest of us.

I had a hostess trolley for my sindy doll.

Including a little plastic silver tureen with little peas and carrots and a ladle.

twit - woo. Tis all. The main gas holder has been on fire here all afternoon, we might have all been blown up for all you lot care. There was an exclusion zone and everything. But don't worry, I'm fine..........

Just arrived, and immediately found myself inexplicably at GetOrf's Sindy accessories. I haven't felt like that for nigh on 40 years.

Oooh, Hath. Get thee to the Dustbin?. Zombie has a brand new Aga!!!
