About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

Wow! Been there and done that many, many times, but not at that speed. I remember the blue pullmans, even paid the supplementary fare once. As a family we never ever went from New Street to Euston, always Snow Hill to Paddington.
That’s fantastic! Thanks :)
