Chuck. The ‘bad apples’ as you say do not worry me. I used to handle that sort when I worked.
It did annoy me when one of them passed disparaging comments when I posted pictures of my granddaughter’s modelling. Then I realised the ‘bad apple’ is a ‘keyboard warrior’ and not a modeller.

Good I’m glad I really do enjoy our history class LOL and your Granddaughter dose fantastic work!
The bad apple I’m trying to be polite what I would like call them would get me thrown off the forum.

Nearly 14 years ago two carriages arrived at Bellingham Heritage Centre (at the old station). They were converted into tea rooms for Lunches and Afternoon Tea.
