How on earth did you manage to get oil in the fridge?

I got talked at loudly for using the dishwasher to clean the body of my Billy before a repaint.

Sorry to hear about the Wensleydale.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Its funny, she said that! although not being a man of the cloth, she added an odd extra word that I won't repeat on this family friendly forum

The oil was some of that gloopy steam oil and I think it stuck to the bottom of the plate and hence got transferred into the fridge
Sorry to hear about the Wensleydale.
happily the wensleydale was unaffected - although she thought that was a minor point in the scale of things!
Where did I put that uncoupler?

Yeah never got to the 'oil in the fridge' stage :lol: Paint on the garden furniture...well that was a slight error with the spray can and was easily covered with some more brown wood preserve....

You'll have to bring it round Dan when it's finished. Would be interested to know how it runs on coal, in two minds whether to build Welsh Pony as a coal or gas fired engine.

Jason - yes I will have to, I'm sure you'll be hosting a steamup at some point soon! I've never really run coal-fired before so it could get quite interesting... :lol:

Every first Sunday Dan, speak to Bob about it and I'm sure you'll be able to share lifts
