Fired to Pe many times, great mate.Springs Branch loco drivers had a saying which was easy to remember when road learning the route to Carlisle.The block posts which once stood between Oxenholme and Grayrigg summit were Peat Lane I.B.S., Hay Fell, Lambrigg crossing and Mosedale Hall crossing, they remembered them with the saying.PE HIGHAM LIKES MONEY which made him laugh. Happy Days.
