Sierra Leone ~for the rail enthusiast.
Ooops, methinks I made a gross error
with the "railways" gang? I was attempting to have a more global connotation, I arrived in Australia with the term "Lorry" and soon dispensed with that, in preference to "Truck" Real men in blue singlets drive "Trucks" I'll be cognisant, in future on this NG to refer to the appropriate issues as "Railways" "Civilised countries"? evidently you haven't visited Australia of late, pensioners bashed, car jackings, Indian students targeted, My own Prime Minister using the "F" word. I am no longer quick to puff out my chest when declaring my Country. "Blair" And what, pray tell is a railroad, Sir Rodney?
