The next person to tell me that railway privatisation has worked will get a bloody good shoeing for their trouble.

Arse. Hope your journey's not too horrid.

I've never heard anyone say that.

I did once hear a Dutch researcher say "We've come here to study the British franchisation of railways because a similar scheme is being planned in Holland."

I said "But it's been an unmitigated disaster."

She said "I know, we're looking for a case against."

He seems to be stuck at Didcot. He should have been home by now.
:(

Thanks for entertaining him today-sounds like he had fun.

I remember being stuck at didcott for 4 hours once, it's a godforsaken stretch of railway.

Hmm, yes. Arrive at 17:00 at Thirsk expecting to catch the 17:15 to York as the first leg of my multi-leg journey to discover that I've been misinformed about the existence of a 17:15 and that the next (and last suitable) train isn't due until 18:15 and that's been cancelled due to lack of driver. So I had to be driven to Harrogate.

And a bus-replacement service between Stevenage and Hertford.

Other than that it was a good journey!

Sat in heap and stared out of window. Bloke with far too many elbows buggered off at Didcot, leaving me to enjoy scenery and whistle 'Star guitar' to myself.

I must heartily recommend Eurocars to anyone wanting to be the navigator for some Iranian ex-rally champion. Best taxi-ride for a long time - deep in Mayfair, the bloke lobs me the A-Z and goes 'we need to get to Park Lane going north...' Zaaaang! we went through Grosvenor square, quick enough to rattle the windows of the Septic Embassy. Probably a good thing I wasn't trollied, otherwise I'd have been laughing too hard to concentrate.

Dogmatic Thatcherites, unfortunately. The sort of people who drive a lot, naturally.

(Note that I also drive a lot, but I'm open to the idea of other forms of transport)

That John Major, he didn't shag up the railways as much as he shagged up Dennis?

Ah the challenge. The problem is that because it's true, that it failed, I'm going to agree with you instead. Bugger!
