Sherri - you are the king of the deleted post - any idea what the ratio is of the posts that you delete to that you allow to remain up? Must be almost 50:50.

I was hoping it had something to do with the Nazis...apparently I compare everything to them...perhaps Hitler was into angling?

He was a painter and a vegetarian who was also against smoking - so train set builders who eat meat are safe

He also suffered from flatulence, which might be why he was so against smoking.
Anyway his train set was full size, and apparently ran on time...unfortunately to appalling destinations.

Sorry Millhouse, you’re right the ratio is probably 50:50 .

I’ve got to be careful with a few things here u knw particularly if the subject is a key member of the monastery, just keeping to my oath nothing more.

This particular ‘delete’ was in response to Norm’s another delusive post then checked my calendar and realised it’s a busy week ahead and can’t be arsed with pages of meaningless dogfight.

Yes it is Railway Modelling as I learned reading well known (to railway modellers) publications and books. I don't know where I stashed my collection so unfortunately can't find the source material. I recall distinctly that railway modelling was mentioned as 2nd most popular after angling and the #1 most popular hobby amongst the clergy.I forgot about gardening so realistically I think Railway Modelling is number 3.

This is the only online source I could find with a few minute search

My first thought there was...

"What have the clergy got against fishing??" The amount of times fish comes up in the Christian religion, you would have thought they would have been well up for dipping their line...
