Is your name not Bruce then?  That's gonna cause a little confusion.

Mine is, at least when my brother messages me.  Predictive text changes Bruv to Bruce and he forgets to corrects it.

A trick I use is when I meet someone I've already met I normally wait for someone to say there name and id that doesn't happen then it's just mate 😉

Works ok to a degree, problem comes with girls. At the end of our first date my ex said "you can't remember my name can you ?". I said "what makes you say that ?" She replied "because you keep calling me Luv, Darling, Gorgeous etc" 

Oh I've been there so to avoid that issue I say as little to them as possible..makes life so much easier I can tell ya .those of you who have a other member of your race as a wife or partner you guys are sorted..you've already been told what to say 😏

Been there, done that

I'm pretty sure I forgot to tell you blokes but I called Hornby and it's a done deal .
I do get the impression thier offices aren't the big...when I talked to the customer services lady she then put me on to another lady who did the money side of things and I could hear the customer services lady on the phone in the background

Did she transfer the call or is the office that small she just handed the phone over?

Glad its sorted mate.  Now you just have to wait...

Their offices aren't that big, the recent tv documentary series on the company showed it as a rather close knit company when it came to office space. With all the brands sharing the same space. Mind you I doubt if many model companies have "large" offices and the majority will be almost "cottage industry" size with a couple of people multi tasking.

Happy birthday for the other day by the way

With the echoes I heard when chatting to these ladies you'd think they were sitting damn near back to back

It looked to be a classic open plan office on the telly, but it also looked to be a cheerful, friendly place

Asymmetric Auster. Tophe will have a few I'm sure.

That's excellent, glad to see they're really trying to sort out some of the problems with the old kits,

And the Antarctic always was a lovely kit to work on too.
