So your avatar is actually you.

edit: A quick search on "Peak Army" turned up this article:

‘They are allowed out to play by their wives or mums and get so excited when they are being hauled by their favourite type of engine they end up behaving like football hooligans,’ he said.

The group with one of the worst reputations is the so-called Peak Army, who followed ‘Peak’ Class 45 diesels produced in the Fifties, he added.

He said they were known in the Eighties for throwing toilet seats out of the window and were described in one rail magazine as ‘the Millwall of rail enthusiast groups’.

Pictures on the internet show a group of 45 enthusiasts at a 2004 Peak Army reunion giving a Nazi-style salute.

Sounds like gricer is in with a right rough bunch

He didn't lubricate your tool???

Haven't seen him in years. He got bogwashed at Crewe Station and never showed his face again.

[Drewster]

No. Let's just say he had "wandering" hands.

They say "ten tonnes" at the start and "10 tons" at the end

Leaving aside the fact that tonnes != tons, don't the BBC have a style guide that dictates whether it should be "ten" or "10"?
