@@garethm3242 As an English Guinness lover, it gives me no pleasure to say that Guinness over here isn't the same drink as it is in Ireland. Even the short trip over the Irish sea to Liverpool is too far... And I did enjoy a few pints of Smithwicks over in Ireland, I've never seen that here either. 😒

I use to live in St Helen's from 2003 to 05. I'm gutted I never seen Fred pass through that day in 04. I would have loved to get his autograph. I found the perfect job when I went to my local job center. It's for a Rail Operative. I be working with a team repairing train lines. A very Dibnar sort of job. I've got to do my 7 week training and qualifications end of July. Very good money. Roll on August. Great video lads 👏🔧

Awesome. I live in a small ex-mining village in the South Wales Valleys. The hearts were ripped out of these communities in the late 70s and early 80s. They lost the biggest employer and still haven't recovered 40 years on. The place is now a commuter village for Bridgend and Cardiff. This was repeated in every valley. Dozens and dozens of mines closed.

Don't think Karl's related to the family that founded Pilkington Glass, the UKs largest glass manufacturer. Jars, bottles, car windows, if it's made of glass odds are it's made by Pilkingtons'. Incidentally, I've had a pint or two in that pub in Billinge. I was a regular visitor to Crows Nest Farm. Owned at the time by McAlpines road paving division, bringing and taking road building plant. I've just looked it up on Google Maps, it's an industrial estate now.

Although the close proximity of iron ore and coal reserves helped launch the industrial revolution in Britain, the remaining coal is pretty much all a long way below the surface. Deep mining is so expensive compared to open cast or strip mining that it was actually cheaper to ship coal all the way from Australia than to use British coal.

Thermal efficiency for a steam engine is awful, just 8% and I wouldn't be surprised if Fred's traction engine is as little as 5% with all its leaks, so they're extremely fuel hungry, most petrol road cars are 20-35% and diesel up to 40%, F1 cars run at 50% efficiency. My Dad was a fireman for 7 years, which is the man on the footplate who shovels the coal into a steam engine, they'd shovel several tonnes of coal each day, he said it put muscles on his eyebrows! 🤣 In the village where I live they built the first ever water troughs in the world which would enable steam trains to fill up with water without stopping by scooping it up out of the troughs as they passed.

Yes Fred had a sence of Humour, most Brits do, but not as dry as Donalds! He looked after Fred as you will come to see, they would appear to have fall outs but it is only mutual respect and humour. FYI, it was not Henry Ford who inventer the assembly line, it was the Blacksmiths that originally made these Engines, the materials went in one end, they started with the boiler, and gradually added the next components and moved it along to the the next bay, with all the machiming of the parts carried out in the gallerise of the second floor. When we had a period of low employment in my youth, the running joke was all the jobs were in jepoardy, ewery one was looking at the map to find work.....!
