In preparation for taking a first trip in the new Galion 22 I thought I would wash my waterproof trousers, to mark the ocsasion and all.
As usual I left a number of things in the pockets: petrol receipt, a rare five pound note and a small penknife. Now the pockets are supposed to be waterproof, with double folding flaps and all sorts of high-tech aspects but I was stunned to see all the stuff was still dry after all that spinning. If I had been thrown around that much onboard, my last concern would be the train fair home! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
