UK Screenshots (Hi Res Version)

Speaking as someone who is without doubt the biggest pedant on here (have been called other things rhyming with 'banker' and 'dosser'), I know all about being pedantic. It is nice to see that there are other pedants out there, and that the art of pedantry is still very much alive. Ooh, I do get a kick out of concerning myself with the minutiae of life, and of course, getting right up people's noses.
Random display of pedantry for those unaccustomed to the genre:
The Romans invented the standard railway gauge of 4' 8" because that was the width between the stone blocks in their streets that allowed pedestrians to cross, and carts to pass through.
Here's a screenshot so that I can stay 'on-topic'. A little postcard I picked up from the village shop this morning:
And another one:
See, I am not just a pedant, I am a talented pedant!
Best wishes,
Padster

I am sorry to say Padstar, even if Boco did edit the post, that is a bit of a personal remark to make towards me. Your behaviour seems to be a little worse recently and TBH, its not nice on the recieveing end. Its another case of one of my models, starting off yet another argument. (I sometimes why I bothered with accuracy or modelling at all.)
Anyway, this is what the National Rail network map, pinned up against a door says:
Please direct all your complaints to National Rail (www.nationalrail.co.uk), Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC http://www.atoc.org), Network Rail (www.networkrail.co.uk) and Lancaster City Council (http://www.lancaster.gov.uk/).
Not us!

Thanks for backing me up, WEN old chap. My remarks were not intended as a slur against your good name, for 'tis true I did not know it was your work. Nay, nay and thrice nay, titter ye not, ooh missus. Please do not take it personal. I was remarking about the incorrect spelling, although it is fair to say I did have a pop at that bus on wheels..sorry, 141.
Surely though WEN, you must accept that if you are happy to pick apart other people's work then you are fair game, do you not agree?
My words are never meant in any malice. I am just like a big soft puppy really.
Two final things. I think you should direct your poster to Louise as it appears to support my argument, and lastly, you have got my name wrong. Again!!!
Best wishes,
Padster

Padster pleaste read the following post REALLY CAREFULLY:
Padster I would REALLY look at the image again
The blind is spelt MorEcombe. Download the 141's and check out the blind yourself.

Sorry, I am going to be blunt, thats why I quoted you in the previous posts, I don't wish to be 100% loyal to everything, non bias, etc, but when you spelt it without the e, then spell it with the e, that statement then becomes rather contridictory. As shown on the map, its morecambe.
I guess you are referring to the turbostar, if you look elsewhere, most of the points I pointed out were also picked up by Mike10: (can't dig it out, but this thread may help: http://forum.uktrainz.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=2768&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=Turbostar+Review&start=25)
Louise isn't exactly a guy. I know you know the 141 is mine, because I asked you to review it in another thread.
Guys, this is a screenshot thread and is quickly becoming very boring so I will try and settle the spelling argument once and for all...
Correct, the spelling on the blind is WRONG. This is what Padster is trying to tell you both. You have written "Morecombe" when the correct spelling is "Morecambe" (as you have said numerous times yourself and even shown us on the below map!)

Thank you Jivebunny for pointing that out, Louise told me on Skype. Neither of us spotted it, but Padster was going on about the E which isn't suppose to be there* but never mentioned the fact that the A/O is wrong!
It is a case of its right, but its also wrong and it is also one reason why artists need clear advice to the fact it is wrong.
*According to Padster

No he wasn't, he provided the correct spelling - "Morecambe". Louise then told him that it did not contain an "E" which firstly is incorrect, and secondly would still mean that the spelling on the blind is wrong!
Rather than let your egos take over, you could both have simply checked the correct spelling of Morecambe on the links and maps you both provided, and then taken two seconds to look at the 141 to see that there's a spelling mistake on the blind. It would have reached the same result a lot more quickly, would have saved the thread from descending into childish bickering, and would have saved you both from embarrassing yourselves.
Hopefully a mod will see all this and delete the posts which contribute nothing to the thread, including this one.

Oh god, this is just getting confusing and messy! And TBH, it does affect me as I made the sodding thing. Although, I never anticipaited that an unfinished object would cause this much agro.
