Diary Of A Bad Dad

We had a very excited two-yearold on our hands on Saturday when the Thornton family paid a visit to Thomas at Nene Valley Railway.

Toddlernator the Terrible is a huge Thomas fan and talks about little else from the minute he gets up. He’s got the books, the puzzles, the models and even the wellies. So while the rest of us were freezing our buffers off he was glowing with delight as we boarded the train at Wansford and sat back asThomas chuffed down the line. I’d like to apologise to the good-natured volunteer who T The T repeatedly referred to as The Fat Control- ler despite him being the possessor of a whippet like frame.

As soon as he got home T the T demanded to watch Thomas on the telly and lined up his models to tell them he’d seen the ‘real Thomas’.

I don’t think his train obsession will be broken until he’s suffered an overcrowded and delayed ‘real’ train. Written by Nigel Thornton
