I haven't got the time or the inclination to explain!!!

Sussed it - you're a train enthusiast http://www.railway-technical.com/whlarr.html  ;D


For some reason this never occured to me!

BTW Britain is a leading bogie designer, quite a few of our designs are world class. A US company was building locos for the UK but their passenger desing was too heavy for 4 axles, they wanted to buy some Brush 3 axle bogies but Brush were so annoyed they didn't get the contract they inflated the price to about £750,000 a pair. The Yank locos are too heavy to go flat out and damage the track ;D

The 3 axle ones were fitted to this!

I was trying to think of an alias for myself on a game called Planetside. One morning, whilst taking my usual morning slash, I looked at my mop and bucket. It was a Vileda Supermop. So I called myself Supermop2000, which later got shortened to just Supermop. I was hungover, so may explain the slight eccentricity in which the name was born.

Its a very rare name, and no one has used it anywhere except me. Even in games like World of Warcraft, where they have like 7million subscribers. No one has Supermop or Supermop2000 as a name. Maybe because Vileda since named all their mops "Supermocio" - I just had an early eurpean model  ;D

Mine is rather simple, after the engine code in my Omega.  Sad and boring I know, but all I could think of at the time of registering.

Mine originates from a radio callsign I happily answered to for several years - hotel two one -  and not the fact that I have a chain of hotels throughout the world.  But I can still dream!
