Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
whilst singing the thomas the tank engine theme tune the other day, I sang
"they're 2, they're 4, they're 6, they're 8, shunting trucks and hauling freight"
to my wife and little girls.
I then said, would you like to know why, 2, 4, 6, 8..........
"it refers to the amound of driven wheels they have, not the amount of wheels they actually have"
my wife"- oh that means my car has 4 then, its 4 wheel drive then"
no- yours is only two wheel drive
wife, but it has 4 wheels.....oh.........
I stand to be firmly correctly by train buffs.

Never mind all this guff about numbers and wheels. What's the score with the "They're the really useful crew" line? One of them's always causing an explosion, or getting derailed, or upsetting some sheep/farmer. Useless sods, I'd have them all melted down and turned in to Austin Maestros."they're 2, they're 4, they're 6, they're 8, shunting trucks and hauling freight"
to my wife and little girls.

Every day is a schoolday! I thought it was because they showed 2,then 4,then 6 ,then 8 engines on screen!"they're 2, they're 4, they're 6, they're 8, shunting trucks and hauling freight"
to my wife and little girls.
