At least you were paid. In 2010 I was put on New Deal and was forced to work unpaid. As it was near Christmas a local well known department store asked for many people from where I was as that way they got 'free' staff to work for them.

Slavery!

Between now and December 2012 you can expect to see much change, including the people at the top getting their just rewards and more.

Was that OO scale Metrocar that one by Alexander Models?

Probably. But I am not certain.

[CoachAlex1996]

My favourite part was the Metrocars!

I am glad to see them in their 1990's livery!

Would it be OK to use this and the Gateshead footage in a history of the tyne and wear metro film I am doing?

I assume you mean the yellow and the claret metrocars?

[CoachAlex1996]

yeah
