OT George Medal Winners

I'm begining to obsess about the subject of this hand coloured
photograph:

I asked on u.r.railways but they're distracted by the engine not being
the right colour.

The driver's cap badge is British Railways Southern Region (as is the
loco) dates it as forties or fifties as the engine is
pre-nationalisation.

Has anyone a list of George Medal winners? Google hasn't.

 

Simon

I think the responses you recieved on uk.railway was pretty good. There were
very few comments about the loco being the wrong colour and the comments
that did mention this was only in respect of trying to date the picture.

So instead of making negative comments about the people who were trying to
help you maybe you should be grateful.

Any good?

 

Ah...George *medal* winners. Forget that, sorry.

 

Not really , the person in question was a recipient of the George Medal.

 

I agree with you on this one. Simon has a bad habit of totally
ignoring the more important things in life and it really does need
pointing out to him more often.

Only Simon would be more interested in a person than the fact that
someone had used the wrong colour on a wonderful piece of engineering
like the one in the photograph.

 

What 'negative comments' you pompous ****?

 

The point is that Simon asked about the significance of the loco

 

If you are stupid enough not to see it may you are the **** ?

Nothing to do a certain member of the congregation?

 

Do you mean piece of devastating slander:

"I asked on u.r.railways but they're distracted by the engine not being
the right colour."

Christ tough guy, you're going to hate this newsgroup.

 

Doh! How stupid am I then, eh? Cuh! What an eejit. I may go and hang myself
because of the shame.

 

Mungo "Two Sheds" Toadfoot says...

It's imcomplete.

There's no listing for the people of Malta, who were awarded a George
Cross on 15th April 1942 in recognition of their continuing heroic
struggle against enemy attack.

 

Wow, Thats two stupid posters in one thread already , Im sure there will be
more along soon

 

Is that some kind of a subtle anorak alert?

 

Pontificating flange.

 

Posting crap jokes and ginge's lately , and now this. Not really on form
are you ?

 

Good man, well said.

 

What do you mean lately, I've been doing that for years.
