careful what you're pressing Tango, the site's slowing down already and you've only just logged on.

Are those four monster fog makers still working Hoss? On a clear day you can see them from Plodder Lane (not that we've had too many clear days lately mind).

They are. They're on full pelt right now with it being cold.

We go down Plodder Lane on the way to the match and I always point to the station and tell the kids it's where I work. For some reason; and I can't think why, they've yet to show any interest in that fact.

[thebish]

Is this the weather thread?
The sun's out and a nice blue sky over Warrington this morning. By Christ, it's cold though.

that's better!

[Gooner Girl]

Freezing here. My toes are cold

Now you got me thinking Hoss. See I always look at that as going "up" Plodder Lane, not down. With Plodder on your left (West) you're heading North, which is "up"?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

North is definitely Up as in up North and darn Sarf, never mind what these railway types say when they go Up to London and Down to the Country - just plain wrong.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Confused now, I've just googleearthed it and Plodder Lane runs west to east which means you go up with the prevailing slope which is west to east.

Well put some fcking socks on! Dear me.

That does make more sense.
Although I reckon down works too because driving through there can sometimes feel like you're descending into the jaws of hell....

Warrington is West coast way so if it's on your left you must be facing northish surely?

Warrington's darn sarf of Bolton. Innit? Tis. I'll go check.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

I'm back. It is. So, using conventional convention, heading towards the Liverpool end of Plodder Lane will be going down Plodder Lane, do we all agree?

I thought they closed the Plodder Lane Station while I was still in short pants. You work on a ghost train, Hoss?

[CrazyHorse]

Yes.
Yes I do.

All a bit confusing due to the lie of the land. I live near the top of Bradford Road which dives all the way "down" quite steeply to Bolton...which is geographically North West of me so it's actually "up.". Since I'm facing Winter Hill that way, "up" makes sense but I still go down to Bolton. Ah well, life's full of ups and downs.

[thebish]

anyone still up??

if so - pop outside - have a look up at the moon... that bright thing right next to the moon is Jupiter...
