FOOTPLATE PADRE

Mark was sent this by young writer Bridget Brenton and it gave him opportunity in his weekly memo to the young writers to offer some instruction on hyperbole when it comes to railway speak - "I love diesels" (hyperbole), "I love the driver of that 42 Class as it's just a joy to drive"  -  never met the driver but know the pleasure of driving a 42 Class (hyperbole). Mark thoroughly enjoys his Footplate Padre ministry being a former train driver.
