Railway Stations...

[BA to the Stars]

Carnforth station is also redolent of a bygone age and has fallen into rack and ruin. Interestingly, it was the station used in Brief Encounter and the famous clock still exists drawing Japanese tourists from all over the world. Bit of a let down really; went there last year on a steam up - though you get a good view of the yards from the end of Platform 1. Interestingly, it was featured in that progamme David Mellor did where he travelled to all the places that featured in the very first national rail timetable.

It was Michael Portillo

Nearly correct.

When you have mumps you get a certain expression, much like beggars put on when they want to get you to give them money.
