My lister D

Who said there isn't enough young people enjoying stationary engines. My second daughter is only 14 months old and she is exploring with them already.

HI KEVIN...
sounds like one of my 5 grand sons,hes the same age as your daughter and when he comes round he want to get granddads donk donks out..
its what one of my mates called my first stationary engine many many years back and my boys have now taught there kids to call the engines that..
hes through the front door and first thing he says us grandad were are the donk donks...well funny, and hes so clear when he says it..
thanks to my no 2 son for that......grand-kids i love them and there little ways and sayings...
hes even got to the stage of pucking up a LISTER D handle and putting in the hole,wont be long before hes on the field with granddad...
good help me,its costing me enough now...
regards,mike....

Last rally I was at I had to laugh, the guy next to me had his son with him about 3 years old. On the sunday morning he had his Ruston PT and Lister D stood and the 3 yer old picked up the starting handle and half put it on the PT shaft and turned it a bit happy as if he'd started it went over to the D and went to put the starting handle on the shaft but it didn't fit, at this he threw the handle down and stormed off, it looked so funny my wife said typical man. Kids make you laugh with what they say and do, can't wait till my grandson's a bit older and I can teach him my bad ways
