We are a strange lot....according to the general populace, we are scruffy, wear anoraks, have bobble hats, our beer bottle lens ed spectacles are held together with adhesive tape, we live with our mothers, have asperger's syndrome, speak like John Major and we are probably on the sex offenders register!! Granted, a few years ago a small minority portrayed this image and it sticks in the mind of certain narrow minded people.
These days i prefer the label of Rail enthusiast...and we fall into a few categories. My category is filming and travelling on trains (bashing). Before i started filming i was just happy observing and bashing..i have never been interested in train numbers or times of trains. Why are we ridiculed ? Car and aircraft enthusiasts don't get this !!Why ?...Trains are fast and powerful machines...some people don't get the awesome thrill of rail action....it's just one thing i cannot answer....Facts..I am scruffy sometimes..but clean and don't wear an Anorak or bobble hat. I don't wear glasses, i am married of 22 years with 2 kids, so i don't live with my mother. I am also capable of socially interacting with people from any walk of life .And i definately don't talk like John Major !! (well i hope not )...and most of all i don't give a f**k what people think about my hobby !!
