Dear Gladys Number One

This is the first in a series of advice columns that appeared in the Ropley Newsletter, part of the Mid Hants Railway.

Dear Gladys

A monthly advice column

Dear Gladys,
                   My husband is a volunteer on the Mid Hants Railway and seems to be spending more and more of his time and attention there, rather than at home with me. For example, last week when he was away helping with the new signalling at Ropley, a pipe burst in the kitchen flooding the floor, the electricity went off, the school phoned to say that our son had been found in possession of Class A drugs, our daughter of 18 announced that she was six months gone and running away with the father (a roundabout attendant at a travelling Fun Fair), and the council wrote to say that the new by-pass is routed through our living room. What do you think of all this, Gladys? Worried of Dummer.

Dear Worried of Dummer,
                                         The new signalling arrangement at Ropley will indeed be good news for all concerned as it will allow down trains to wait at Platform 2 while waiting for the up train from Alresford to arrive.
